# HyperCoder > Discord for your dev terminals. A real terminal application — same category as Ghostty or Warp — built for running multiple AI coding agents in parallel across git worktrees. ## About HyperCoder is a desktop terminal designed for developers who run Claude Code and Codex side by side on the same repo. It uses xterm.js + node-pty under the hood — a real terminal, not an orchestrator app or an IDE with a terminal panel. Navigate projects like Discord servers (a color-coded dock on the left), branches like channels, and see every agent working in its own pane in an auto-arranged grid. HyperCoder auto-creates an isolated git worktree per feature when you hit ⌘N, so two agents on the same repo don't fight over the same files. ## Key Features - **Real terminal, not a wrapper**: xterm.js + node-pty. Every pane is a full shell — agents share the grid with builds, REPLs, db consoles, ssh sessions. - **Run Claude Code and Codex side by side**: the actual `claude` and `codex` CLIs running inside terminal panes. Every CLI feature (slash commands, hooks, plugins, model options) lands the day it ships upstream — we don't wrap their SDKs. - **Git worktrees as the navigation primitive**: ⌘N spins up a fresh worktree for a new feature with its own folder, dev server, and agent — no file collisions when running parallel agents. - **Discord-style project dock**: each project gets a color-coded icon in the dock. Branches show up as channels under each project. Switch projects with Ctrl+1-9, branches with Cmd+Option+↑/↓. - **Auto-grid panes with focus mode**: ⌘D splits into a self-organizing grid. ⌘⇧↵ expands one pane while keeping the others visible as a strip — hit it again to snap back. Swipe an expanded pane to any edge to dock it at 2/3. - **Built-in PR loop**: `::pr` opens a draft PR from your branch, `::review` leaves inline comments, `::merge` squashes and ships. The whole write → review → merge loop happens inside the terminal — no Cmd-Tab. - **Web panes**: `::web github.com` opens a browser pane that splits and focuses with ⌘D and ⌘⇧↵ just like terminals. Click any URL printed by an agent to open it inline. - **MCP, plugins, skills**: first-class MCP server support at the app level. Bring Claude Code's plugin and skill ecosystems with you. - **Cloud terminals over SSH**: same surface, your remote hosts. No vendor lock to a specific cloud sandbox. - **⌘K everything**: a quick switcher for projects, tabs, panes, and commands. 50+ keyboard shortcuts, all on the home row. - **26 themes + cyberpunk effects**: CRT scanlines, glitch animations, optional mechanical keyboard sounds. 18 ANSI arcade games (Tetris, Snake, 2048, etc.) one keystroke away — play while agents work. ## How it compares HyperCoder ships detailed comparison pages at the URLs below. - **vs Cursor** (https://hyperspaces.dev/vs/cursor) — Cursor is a powerful IDE with great Tab autocomplete and an Agents Window for parallel agents. HyperCoder is a real terminal: lighter footprint per window, runs the actual `claude` and `codex` CLIs, and uses worktrees as the navigation primitive instead of a slash-command flow. - **vs Warp** (https://hyperspaces.dev/vs/warp) — Warp is a slick block-based terminal with MCP and parallel-agent support. HyperCoder differs on navigation (Discord-style dock + branches-as-channels vs tabs and windows), pane layout (auto-grid + focus mode vs manual splits), and AI cost model (BYO Claude/Codex subscription vs Warp's metered credits). - **vs Claude Desktop** (https://hyperspaces.dev/vs/claude-desktop) — Claude Desktop now ships an in-app Claude Code surface with parallel sessions, an integrated terminal, and excellent MCP. It's locked to Claude. HyperCoder runs Claude Code AND Codex on the same repo, on Linux too. - **vs Codex** (https://hyperspaces.dev/vs/codex) — Codex spans a CLI, desktop app, IDE extension, web, and iOS, with cloud sandboxes for parallel tasks. It's locked to OpenAI models. HyperCoder runs Claude Code and Codex side by side in the same pane grid. - **vs Conductor** (https://hyperspaces.dev/vs/conductor) — Conductor is the closest spiritual competitor: free, Mac-only, worktree-per-task. It's an orchestrator with a terminal panel; HyperCoder is a real terminal that runs agents as panes. HyperCoder is also lighter, faster, runs the native CLIs (not their SDKs in a harness), and ships beyond macOS. ## Target Users - Developers running Claude Code and Codex in parallel on the same repo - Teams that want a model-agnostic surface (not locked to Anthropic or OpenAI) - Engineers who prefer keyboard-driven, terminal-first workflows - Indie hackers shipping multiple features at once across multiple projects ## Platform macOS Apple Silicon today. Linux and Windows builds in flight. ## Company Built by HyperSocial. HyperCoder is built by developers, for developers. The terminal should be a workspace that understands how modern developers actually work — across many projects, with multiple AI agents in parallel. ## Links - Website: https://hyperspaces.dev - Web Demo: https://web.hyperspaces.dev - Early Access: https://hyperspaces.dev/early-access - Comparison · Cursor: https://hyperspaces.dev/vs/cursor - Comparison · Warp: https://hyperspaces.dev/vs/warp - Comparison · Claude Desktop: https://hyperspaces.dev/vs/claude-desktop - Comparison · Codex: https://hyperspaces.dev/vs/codex - Comparison · Conductor: https://hyperspaces.dev/vs/conductor - Downloads: https://github.com/hypersocialinc/hypercoder/releases/latest - GitHub org: https://github.com/hypersocialinc ## Contact Reach out through https://hyperspaces.dev.
