Parallax

Name: Parallax
Author: Conifer

Parallax by Conifer is a Mac app (with a browser-based Linux build) that runs Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI, OpenCode and other coding agents side by side, with a supervising "Captain" that splits tasks and steers agents, built-in code review, and plans from $5 a month.

Why it matters

For developers and small teams juggling several AI coding agents at once. It puts them in one place, checks their work against what you asked for, and keeps work moving when one subscription hits its usage limit.

Highlights

The Captain splits one request into tasks for different agents, checks each step against the request, and pulls back agents that drift, skip tests or stop short; work comes back as pull requests.
Built-in code review reads the whole session, not only the diff, and routes reviews to models from labs other than the one that wrote the code.
Conifer reports Parallax found 2.24 valid merge-blocking comments per pull request on Martian's Code Review Benchmark (50 PRs, 21 tools), the highest in its chart.unverified
You can connect several Claude and Codex subscriptions, and Parallax moves work to the next one when one reaches its limit.
Every plan includes unlimited DeepSeek and GLM models, so agents can run without a Claude or ChatGPT plan; new accounts get 5 free reviews.

Taken from the project's own README, docs or launch page. Claims about speed or accuracy are the maker's unless stated otherwise.

Try it if: You run two or more coding agents on the same project and spend too much time checking whether they did what you asked.

Worth knowing: The benchmark result is Conifer's own claim. Switching work across several personal Claude or Codex subscriptions may conflict with those providers' terms, so check them first. Sign-in is through GitHub or email.
