# Introduction

Multi-agent developer desktop application for managing Claude Code agents in parallel.

Commander is a macOS desktop application that enables software engineers to run, monitor, and coordinate multiple Claude Code AI agents simultaneously. Each agent operates in its own git worktree, allowing parallel feature development, bug fixing, and code review across a single repository.

**Current version: 0.9.0**

## Core Value Propositions

* **Parallel Agents** — Run multiple Claude Code agents at once, each in an isolated git worktree.
* **Full Transparency** — See every message, tool call, file edit, and cost in real time.
* **Manager** — A recursive manager hierarchy that coordinates work across all agents and manages goals.
* **Integration-First** — Native GitHub PR, Linear issue, and Slack connections.

## Who It's For

Professional developers who use Claude Code and want to scale from one agent to many — running parallel workstreams, reviewing PRs while features are being built, and letting a manager coordinate the work.

## Local-First

All data is stored locally on your machine. There is no cloud dependency beyond the Claude API itself. Your code, conversations, and agent state never leave your machine.
