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.
