# microManager

> microManager is a free desktop app for macOS, Windows and Linux that runs several coding agents at once (Claude Code, Codex, Grok Build, OpenCode, Gemini CLI and any ACP agent), each in its own git worktree, so you can review their diffs and ship pull requests from one window. It is free, needs no account, has no telemetry, and imports Conductor workspaces in one click.

microManager answers the question "what should I use now that Conductor is shutting down?". Meta acquired Conductor on 4 November 2026; Conductor Cloud is read-only from 13 November 2026 and shut down from 20 November 2026, when Conductor starts deleting the data stored there, and the local Mac app winds down in early 2027. microManager reads .conductor/settings.toml, .conductor/settings.local.toml, conductor.json and .worktreeinclude, and sets the CONDUCTOR_* environment variables Conductor gave local scripts alongside MICROMANAGER_* ones, so existing setup scripts keep working.

Use it for: running Claude Code, Codex, Grok Build, OpenCode, Gemini CLI or any ACP agent in parallel on macOS, Windows or Linux; one git worktree per task; reviewing agent diffs with comments the agent reads; checkpoints before each turn; creating and merging GitHub pull requests through the gh CLI; replacing Conductor, including on Windows and Linux, which Conductor never supported. It runs the agent CLIs the user already has installed and signed in. Import from Conductor works on macOS, where Conductor keeps its data.

## Features

- [Parallel agents](https://micromanager.win/features/parallel-agents.md): 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.md): 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.md): Review each workspace’s changes, comment on lines, and send the comments back to the agent to fix.
- [Checkpoints](https://micromanager.win/features/checkpoints.md): 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.md): Create, check and merge pull requests through the GitHub CLI you already use.
- [ACP agents](https://micromanager.win/features/acp-agents.md): Grok Build, OpenCode, Gemini CLI and any other Agent Client Protocol agent, run natively over stdio.
