ChauffeurSeveral repos, one workspace
Pick the repos an issue touches. Each gets its own worktree, all on one branch, with every repo's CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md and hooks loaded.
Open source, very soon
Run Claude Code and Codex on issues that span several repos.
Chauffeur is a desktop app and a CLI for macOS and Linux. One workspace per issue: a worktree in each repo, one branch, one diff, linked pull requests. Drive it from the app, the terminal or your phone — or let your agents drive it.
Coming from Conductor
Conductor Cloud shuts down on November 20. Switch in five minutes, keep your setup.
-
Install Chauffeur
Sign in to Claude Code and the GitHub CLI, then run
chauffeur doctor. -
Point it at your clones
Settings › Clone folders: the folders Conductor used. Your repos, their branches and their
.conductor/settings.tomlcarry over. -
Bring a workspace across
In Conductor, commit, then archive the workspace. In Chauffeur, open it on the same branch:
$ chauffeur new --repo web-app --repo api --branch my-branchSame branch, same commits. The repo you reached through
/add-dirbecomes a real, isolated one. -
Keep the context
Conversations stay in Conductor. Ask the agent for a summary and paste it into the workspace's notes: the new agent reads them.
.conductor/settings.toml
works as is
[scripts] setup = "pnpm install && cp $CONDUCTOR_ROOT_PATH/.env ." run = "pnpm dev --port $CONDUCTOR_PORT" archive = "docker compose down" # Same file, same CONDUCTOR_* variables, # ten ports per workspace.
On Conductor Cloud?
Before November 13, when workspaces turn read-only: Transfer to local, then step 3. Settings › Account › Export data keeps your history.
Features
Everything an issue needs, across every repo it touches.
Claude Code and Codex, side by side
Several chats per workspace. Ask Codex to review what Claude wrote, or the other way round, without leaving the workspace.
One diff, linked pull requests
Review every repo's changes in one view. One PR per repo, each linking the others, merged in order from the app.
Agents that orchestrate
An agent can start a child workspace per sub-issue and follow it with chauffeur new --parent. Their questions come to you.
Nothing left behind
Archiving stops every process, keeps uncommitted work for 30 days and removes every worktree — including the ones agents created on their own.
Your cloud, not ours
Move a workspace to a VM in your own GCP project and bring it back. Agents keep their sessions; backups are encrypted in your bucket.
Your Mac, in your pocket
Follow your agents, answer their questions and send them work from your phone, over an end-to-end encrypted relay.
iOS and Android, coming soonDesign with your agents
Design chats draw screens on a canvas, on Claude Code or Codex. Pin comments, share the canvas live, send the feedback to the agent.
Offline, on the train
No network? Pick a local model served by Ollama, in the same model picker. Nothing leaves your Mac.
And also
Linear issues, parents and milestones
Read-only explorations
Run scripts and terminals
PostgreSQL client
Plan usage at a glance
Keeps your Mac awake while agents work
One daemon, every client
Everything the app does, a script or an agent can do.
The app, the chauffeur command, your phone and your agents all talk to the same local daemon.
Every command takes --json.

Chauffeur and Conductor
Conductor showed how good parallel agents can feel. Chauffeur takes that further, for teams whose issues cross repos.
