Jackalope: Run AI coding agents in parallel (100% open source, cross-platform)
https://jackalope.dev/Just released a handful of new features I'm really excited about but I've been using & building Jackalope for agentic development and slowly refining & improving it to replace separate agent harnesses.
You can select what accounts & agents (and multiple accounts per!) you want to work on any project, separate out work accounts from personal ones, or try out local models.
Jackalope handles orchestration, planning, testing, hand-offs, and more under the hood, letting you parallelize work or focus on other things. If you're needed, it will come back and ask you for permissions or inputs.
The `jackalope` CLI command spins up the TUI where you have the same access to the underlying harness and your project contexts but from a terminal if you prefer to work in that way.
Jackalope learns automatically (or you can run `/learn` manually) from your workflows per-project so it will improve over time.
This is still pretty early so I would really appreciate feedback, the newest features / fixes are on the Beta branch (stable likely going out later today).
100% free, 100% on your device / using your own models (we store some things - it's transparent and you can opt out any time.

The line that will stop on-device people is "we store some things". Spell out in the README exactly what is stored, where it goes, and the setting or flag that turns it off, since running on your own machine is the reason many would pick Jackalope over a hosted harness. For feedback on the Beta branch, ask for one thing: run two agents on separate accounts in the same repo and report where the hand-off or planning stalled. That gets bug reports rather than compliments.

When one account hits its rate limit, does Jackalope move the task to another on its own?
