NekoTrail

At a glance

NekoTrail is a free, MIT-licensed desktop app for running several coding agents in parallel. Each task gets its own git worktree and branch, with a chat, a diff view, a live preview, a terminal and a pull request bar. It drives sixteen agents, including Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI and OpenCode, through their own command-line tools on your existing logins.

Good fit

Developers on macOS who already use one or more agent CLIs and want to run several tasks at once without branches colliding. It suits people who want to hand a stuck task from Claude to Codex in the same branch, compare two agents on one task, or move existing work out of Conductor with its built-in import.

Consider something else when

You do not already pay for or use an agent CLI, since NekoTrail supplies no model access of its own. Skip it too if you work mainly on Windows, which the README does not list, or need a polished Linux build: the Linux package is new and the README says it has not been tested on real Linux machines.

Start here

Install git, sign in to the GitHub CLI and install at least one agent CLI such as claude or codex. Run the one-line installer from the README, which places the app in Applications. On first launch it checks your setup and shows the command for anything missing. Then open a repo, type a task and press Enter to start a workspace.

Cost and requirements

The app is free with no account and no paid tier; the author asks for optional sponsorship. Model usage is billed by each agent's own subscription or API plan. It needs macOS 13 or later on Apple silicon or Intel, git, a signed-in gh and one agent CLI. The Linux .deb is x86_64 only and needs glibc 2.35 and WebKitGTK 4.1.

Limits to know

The project calls itself early, at version 0.26.1, with one contributor. The macOS .dmg is not notarized by Apple, so that route needs a quarantine command before first launch. On Linux the Conductor import is missing and the AppImage is paused. Versions 0.10.1 and earlier cannot update themselves. Preview shows localhost only.

Still unclear

• How well each of the sixteen agent integrations holds up in practice, since the README demos focus on Claude and Codex.
