Features
microManager runs coding agents in parallel, each in its own git worktree, and gives you what you need around them: diff review that feeds comments back to the agent, checkpoints before every turn, pull requests through the GitHub CLI, terminals and run scripts, and one-click import from Conductor.
Updated
What are the main features?
-
Parallel agents
Run as many agent sessions as your computer and your plans allow, across repositories, each with its own chat tabs.
-
Git worktrees
Every workspace is a real git worktree on its own branch, with your ignored files copied in and ten ports reserved.
-
Diff review
Review each workspace’s changes, comment on lines, and send the comments back to the agent to fix.
-
Checkpoints
A snapshot of the worktree before every message you send, so you can roll back a turn that went wrong.
-
Pull requests
Create, check and merge pull requests through the GitHub CLI you already use.
-
ACP agents
Grok Build, OpenCode, Gemini CLI and any other Agent Client Protocol agent, run natively over stdio.
-
Conductor import
Repositories, workspaces, chat history and agent paths in one click, read-only. Conductor’s settings files and CONDUCTOR_* variables keep working.
What else is in the box?
- Terminals
- A terminal drawer per workspace (⌘J, or Ctrl+J on Windows and Linux) with tabs for shells, run scripts and the setup log.
- Run scripts
- A Run button for your default script and a menu with the others; Stop ends the script and everything it started.
- Open in
- VS Code, Cursor, Zed and Windsurf everywhere; Finder, Terminal, iTerm and Xcode on a Mac; File Explorer and Windows Terminal on Windows; your file manager and terminal on Linux; and GitHub.
- Command palette
- ⌘K (Ctrl+K on Windows and Linux) jumps to any workspace and runs any action.
- Notifications
- A system notification, optional sound and a badge on the app’s icon when an agent finishes or needs you.
- Three systems
- The same app on macOS, Windows and Linux, with ⌘ shortcuts on a Mac and Ctrl elsewhere.
- Notes
- A notes panel per workspace, and a .context folder agents share without committing it.
- Automatic names
- Workspaces and branches renamed from your first message, never after a push.
- Updates
- Checked at launch and every six hours, installed when you choose Restart to update.
What does microManager not do?
- No account, no telemetry, and no copies of your code or chats on any server.
- It does not bundle or sign you in to any agent: it runs the CLIs you already installed.
- No cloud workspaces, mobile app or team features.
- It never writes to Conductor’s database or settings, even while importing from them.
