| 40 | | Multiple agents in parallel | Focused view on a single task | |
| 41 | | ----------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------- | |
| 42 | |  |  | |
| 43 | | **Diff review with inline comments** | **AI Arena — race agents head-to-head** | |
| 44 | |  |  | |
| 45 | |
| 46 | ## Why Parallel Code? |
| 47 | |
| 48 | - **Use the AI coding tools you already trust** — [Claude Code](https://docs.anthropic.com/en/docs/claude-code), [Codex CLI](https://github.com/openai/codex), [Gemini CLI](https://github.com/google-gemini/gemini-cli), and [Copilot CLI](https://docs.github.com/en/copilot/concepts/agents/about-copilot-cli) — all from one interface. |
| 49 | - **Free and open source** — no extra subscription required. MIT licensed. |
| 50 | - **Keep every change isolated and reviewable** — each task gets its own git branch and worktree automatically. |
| 51 | - **Run agents in parallel, not in sequence** — five agents on five features at the same time, zero conflicts. |
| 52 | - **See every session in one place** — switch context without losing momentum. |
| 53 | - **Control everything keyboard-first** — every action has a shortcut, mouse optional. |
| 54 | - **Monitor progress from your phone** — scan a QR code, watch agents work over Wi-Fi or Tailscale. |
| 55 | - **Ask about code with any LLM** — the inline code Q&A feature supports [Claude Code](https://docs.anthropic.com/en/docs/claude-code) (default) or [MiniMax](https://www.minimax.io/) M2.7 (204K context) — configurable in Settings. |

| 60 | | Approach | What's missing | |
| 61 | | -------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | |
| 62 | | **Multiple terminal windows / tmux** | No GUI, no automatic git isolation — you manage worktrees, branches, and merges by hand | |
| 63 | | **VS Code extensions** (Kilo Code, Roo Code, etc.) | Tied to VS Code; no true parallel worktree isolation between agents | |
| 64 | | **Running agents sequentially** | One task at a time — blocks your workflow while each agent finishes | |

| 68 | ## How it works |
| 69 | |
| 70 | When you create a task, Parallel Code: |
| 71 | |
| 72 | 1. Creates a new git branch from your main branch |
| 73 | 2. Sets up a [git worktree](htt |
