Octogent

Octogent is a local web dashboard for developers coordinating several Claude Code sessions on one codebase. Its UI and API run on your machine, where it stores job context and transcripts. The supported workflow requires Claude Code. With its standard cloud connection, prompts and model outputs go to a remote provider; Octogent hosts the dashboard and task coordination.

Each job has its own Markdown context, notes and task list. Agents can read and update these files as work progresses, so documentation or database tasks can keep separate context from frontend changes. The files preserve handoff information across sessions rather than leaving it scattered through terminal conversations.

A coordinating agent can assign a task to a child worker or launch several workers against the same list. Agents exchange messages about blockers and completed work. The dashboard shows worker state, transcripts and terminal output, and you can directly control each worker's terminal when needed.

Workers can share the main workspace or use separate Git worktrees and branches for concurrent changes. This gives developers a choice between collaborating in one checkout and isolating each agent's edits. Git is required for worktrees; GitHub pull request features depend on the GitHub CLI.

Octogent is open source under the MIT license. It uses Node.js and keeps project notes, runtime metadata and transcripts in local files. Terminal sessions can remain active through a browser reload during the idle grace period, but an API restart ends them.
