# 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 8 November 2026

## What are the main features?

- ### [Parallel agents](https://micromanager.win/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](https://micromanager.win/features/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](https://micromanager.win/features/diff-review)

  Review each workspace’s changes, comment on lines, and send the comments back to the agent to fix.

- ### [Checkpoints](https://micromanager.win/features/checkpoints)

  A snapshot of the worktree before every message you send, so you can roll back a turn that went wrong.

- ### [Pull requests](https://micromanager.win/features/pull-requests)

  Create, check and merge pull requests through the GitHub CLI you already use.

- ### [ACP agents](https://micromanager.win/features/acp-agents)

  Grok Build, OpenCode, Gemini CLI and any other Agent Client Protocol agent, run natively over stdio.

- ### [Conductor import](https://micromanager.win/migrate-from-conductor)

  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.
