Superset is a code editor and orchestration platform designed specifically for running multiple AI coding agents in parallel on a local machine. Written in TypeScript and built with Electron, React, and Tailwind CSS, it provides a unified interface for managing swarms of Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, Cursor Agent, and other CLI-based coding agents without requiring context switching between different tools.
The core functionality centers on isolating each agent task within its own git worktree, allowing developers to run ten or more agents simultaneously without interference. This architecture prevents agents from conflicting with each other while maintaining separate branches and working directories for each task. The platform includes built-in terminal functionality, a diff viewer for inspecting changes, and quick handoff capabilities to external editors or terminals, enabling developers to review and edit agent-generated code without leaving the application.
Superset supports a comprehensive list of coding agents including Amp Code, Claude Code, OpenAI Codex CLI, Cursor Agent, Droid, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot, Mastra Code, OpenCode, Pi, and Polygraph, with the flexibility to work with any CLI agent that runs in a terminal. The application provides workspace presets for automating environment setup and dependency installation, customizable keyboard shortcuts for navigation and terminal operations, and configuration options through a .superset/config.json file for defining setup and teardown scripts.
The technical stack leverages Electron for the desktop application, React for the user interface, Bun as the runtime environment, Turborepo for monorepo management, Vite for build tooling, Drizzle ORM for database operations, and tRPC for type-safe API communication. The platform requires macOS, Git 2.20 or higher, GitHub CLI, and Caddy for development server functionality. Currently, the application is available only for macOS, with Windows and Linux builds not yet available.

The project is distributed under the Elastic License 2.0 as source-available software, emphasizing privacy by default with explicit user control over which agents, providers, and integrations are connected. Development setup is streamlined through a local setup script that provisions a local Postgres and Electric stack via Docker without requiring external credentials or Neon accounts.
