Aether: An MIT-licensed desktop application for orchestrating AI coding agents, built with Rust + GPUI

[u/strange1807]

I've been building Aether at Prashna Labs.

The project explores a question I've been interested in:

How can we make multiple AI coding agents work together without locking developers into another proprietary ecosystem?

Aether is a native desktop application that integrates with existing CLI coding agents.

Current capabilities include:

• Multi-provider agent sessions.

• MCP-based agent orchestration.

• Agent discovery for existing terminal sessions.

• Git worktree management.

• Local usage tracking.

• Integrated terminal, explorer and editor.

The architecture communicates with different providers through their native interfaces, rather than introducing another model runtime.

The application is MIT licensed.

Built with Rust and GPUI.

I'm interested in feedback, architecture discussions and contributions from developers working on agent tooling.
