Superset

Superset is an Electron desktop app plus a superset CLI, a TypeScript SDK and an MCP server, all backed by the same host service. A project is a git repository; a workspace is a worktree of it on its own branch, with its own terminals and ports. Sessions offer a scratch folder with no project. Terminals run under a background daemon.

Agents are the user's own CLIs running in those terminals. Superset wraps launch commands and installs lifecycle hooks in the agent configs to show status and send notifications, and its docs say it never touches model traffic. A built-in chat pane can talk to models directly when you connect provider keys.

Coordination is manual by default and optionally agent-driven: the orchestrate skill has a coordinator create a workspace and agent per worker with superset workspaces create and superset agents create, watch them with superset terminals read, and verify their structured completion messages before integrating. Results return as one branch and pull request per worker. Remote hosts connect through a relay that is off by default.

A person reviews each worker's changes in the Changes panel or pull request view, can comment on diff lines and send the feedback to a running or new agent, and decides when to commit, push or merge. Agents ask for permission through their own CLIs, and the built-in chat has inline tool approvals and plan review. Sidebar status, chimes and dock badges show when an agent needs attention. The docs say to use the orchestrate skill only when fan-out is mechanical; for step-by-step review, run separate workstreams.

Download the macOS app from https://github.com/superset-sh/superset/releases/latest (CLI only: brew install superset-sh/tap/superset)

# Desktop app: download the .dmg from the releases page (Git required, gh optional).
# The app ships the CLI; standalone install:
brew install superset-sh/tap/superset
superset auth login

# Project-less session with an agent
superset workspaces create --session --local --agent claude --prompt "Explain the build setup"

# Worktree workspace for a project, then a Codex agent in it
superset workspaces create --project prj_... --name "fix-login-bug" --branch fix/login-bug --local
superset agents create --workspace ws_... --agent codex --prompt "Review this diff"

# Watch and steer
superset terminals read --workspace ws_... --terminal term_... --max-lines 240
superset terminals send --workspace ws_... --terminal term_... --text "also add tests"

• macOS (Apple Silicon or Intel) is the supported target; the Linux AppImage is experimental and Windows is not available.
• Every project must be a git repository; one branch maps to one workspace.
• Git is required; the GitHub CLI (gh) is optional but needed for PR workflows.
• The CLI is marked Beta: commands and flags may change, and it needs superset auth login (or an API key in CI).
• Superset installs lifecycle hooks and command wrappers under ~/.superset/bin and in agent configs; removing them disables status and notifications.
• Remote access relay is off by default, and remote hosts show offline until it is enabled. Mobile needs Superset Pro, iOS 26 or later, and Remote Access.
• GitHub and Google sign-ins create separate accounts even with the same email.

Yes, as a server. The MCP server at api.superset.sh/mcp lets agents manage tasks, workspaces, agent sessions, terminals, pages and automations. The docs give setup commands for Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode and other CLIs.

GitHub reports no recognized license. The repository's LICENSE.md is the Elastic License 2.0, which allows use, modification and self-hosting for your team but not offering Superset itself as a hosted or managed service.

The desktop app and local parallel workspaces are free, per the README. The pricing page lists Free, Pro and Enterprise plans, and remote access, mobile and automations need Pro. It read $20 per user per month billed monthly or $15 billed yearly on 2026-09-30.

Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, Hermes, Cursor Agent, Gemini CLI, Amp and others are listed as fully supported, and any CLI agent works without configuration. OpenClaw is not in the README table.

No. The docs say Superset never touches model traffic; agent CLIs talk to your provider with your accounts. The optional built-in chat pane uses provider keys you connect.
