Run agents in isolated workspaces.

Parallel tasks across separate Git worktrees — each keeps its branch, terminal, conversation, and review state together.

What developers are saying.
I've been using Emdash for a few weeks now to develop several projects for macOS and iOS. So far, for me it's the most designer-friendly. Of course, you need knowledge of Git and a few other things to really take advantage of it, but it's simply great.

This is the first tool I've used besides Claude code that feels like it unleashes coding agents and isn't just bolting them on

Very big fan of Emdash. It's been incredible seeing how fast the team is shipping new features and expanding it. I love how I can run my agents in parallel and also across different models. Finally, I don't have to migrate back and forth between Claude Code and Codex every month.

This is spot on. I think future of software is async because it gives engineering scale to an individual.

I found the winner. The level of polish makes me happy. Support Droid, Hermes, Codex, Pi, and much much more. Clean design, uses terminals as it should.

Parallel CLI agents in isolated worktrees is a killer idea! Feels like the foundation for serious agent-native dev environments.
