Built for Shipping with Agents

Commander turns agent output into a reliable engineering workflow: run, inspect, iterate, and commit.

Multiple Agents, One Control Surface

Switch between supported agents in one app without rebuilding your setup for every provider.

Review Before Anything Lands

Treat each run as a reviewable unit of work, with diffs front and center before you commit.

Worktrees Without Friction

Manage branches and worktrees directly in Commander so parallel tasks stay isolated and easy to reason about.

Built-In Accessibility

VoiceOver-friendly semantics, clear hierarchy, and consistent controls make the workflow easier to navigate and trust.

Built for Real Engineering Work

Commander is designed for tasks where control and review quality are non-negotiable.

Feature Delivery

Break larger changes into isolated runs and review each step before merge.

Complex Refactors

Keep risky edits visible with diff-first review and tight iteration loops.

Migrations

Compare approaches across branches and worktrees, then ship the cleanest path.

Bug Triage

Prompt quickly, validate patch quality, and commit only when behavior is clear.

Supported Agents

Commander supports multiple coding agents. Currently: Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, and Pi.

Why Commander Wins on Confidence

The advantage of a native app is system integration: your local tools, files, and workflows stay connected in one reviewable flow.

Terminal

  • Efficient for commands, slower for understanding large AI-generated diffs
  • Prompting, inspection, and commits usually span multiple surfaces
  • Worktree-heavy flows are powerful but mostly manual

VS Code

  • Great editor, but AI and git workflows can fragment across extensions
  • Harder to keep one agent run as a clean, reviewable unit of work
  • Setups can drift across machines and teams

Commander

  • A single run to diff to commit loop built for decision quality
  • Deep macOS integration with clear, inclusive interaction
  • Worktree-aware project management for parallel tasks
  • Multiple supported agents in one consistent workspace

I reached for Commander as soon as I heard about it. Having a native, focused workflow to iterate with AI just works for me in a way that busy editors with a dozen frames don’t.

I started using Commander since the first version and saw all the progress and how it evolved. Today it is a tool that is indispensable in my setup when I am creating some software or a feature.

I started using Commander out of curiosity. I love the fact that it gives me insight into the agent's thought process and gives me more control. The fact that the app is native is a killer, it's smooth as butter. Finally an AI app that doesn't turn my Mac into a heater.

I have been trying Commander recently since I want a native macOS experience with snappy performance and a clean, native UI. I also really like that it supports multiple AI providers, I can easily switch models without switching between multiple apps.

Your AI Pair Programming Partner

Commander streamlines your software development workflow with intelligent automation

Ask Naturally in Plain English

Describe features, bugs, or refactoring tasks in natural language. Commander works through your selected agent CLI and your project context to provide relevant suggestions tailored to your codebase.

Review & Iterate with AI

See code changes in real-time with inline diffs and syntax highlighting. Review AI‑generated code, suggest modifications, and collaborate with the AI assistant to refine solutions until they're production-ready.

Commit & Deploy with Confidence

Execute git operations directly from the interface. Create branches and commit changes—all integrated seamlessly into your development workflow.

Privacy & Data

Commander is a local Mac app. Your credentials stay in your CLI, and your repo stays on your machine.

Credentials

Commander doesn’t handle authentication. It uses your existing supported agent CLI installation, which manages sign-in and API keys.

Your code

Commander does not collect, store, or transmit your repositories to Commander servers. When you run the agent, your chosen CLI may send code context to its provider to generate responses.
