Desktop app
Emdash
The Open-Source Agentic Development Environment
Emdash is an open-source desktop app (YC W26) for running multiple coding agents in parallel, each in an isolated git worktree so they don't interfere with each other. It auto-detects 25+ installed agent CLIs — Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, OpenCode, Gemini, Amp, Qwen Code, Droid, GitHub Copilot and more — and lets you send issues from Linear, GitHub, Jira, GitLab or Asana straight to an agent. From one place you can review diffs, create PRs, inspect CI checks, and merge; it works with local projects and remote machines over SSH.
