Offrun runs Claude Code, Codex, AGY and Grok Build side by side on a Mac

Offrun is a Mac app that runs four coding agent CLIs in one window. It was posted to Hacker News as a Show HN on 3 October 2026, and the post had 74 points and 61 comments when we read it. The app's own pages describe a workspace where each agent works in its own git worktree, a second agent reviews changes before they are accepted, and a chat moves to another login when one runs out of usage.

Offrun is a free Mac app for Apple Silicon that runs Claude Code, Codex, AGY and Grok Build in one workspace. Each agent works in its own git worktree, a second agent reviews its changes before the user accepts them, and project memory is kept as plain files in the repository. It is free and runs on each user's own agent logins.

What changed

  • Four agents, one app. The homepage lists Claude Code, Codex, AGY and Grok Build. Pi and OpenCode are marked "coming soon". Offrun runs the CLIs on the user's Mac, signed in as the user, and the homepage says it never sees the user's password.
  • One worktree per agent. Every agent in a project gets its own git worktree, so two agents working the same repository do not edit the same files.
  • Peer review before merge. The user picks a reviewer agent, and its findings appear in the chat while the work is still uncommitted. The homepage says nothing merges on its own, and reviews run on the user's own agent accounts.

  • Login rotation. An agent can have more than one login. The 5.0.1 changelog entry, dated 8 September 2026, says Offrun "moves to the next one when a rate limit hits". The homepage adds that the new login picks up the whole conversation, and that the user can continue with a different agent instead.

The Offrun accounts section showing a chat that reached its usage limit, with a card offering to continue the chat in Codex.

  • Memory as files. Repo-wide conventions, each feature's plan and a dead-ends log are stored as plain files under the project folder, in .offrun. The site says the user can open, edit and commit them.
  • Release history. Changelog entry 5.0.1 (8 September 2026) introduced the Agents workspace. Version 6.0.0 (25 September 2026) renamed the app from Offloop to Offrun. The newest entry we read is 6.0.7 (28 September 2026).

Why it matters for agent builders

Offrun keeps coordination on the developer's machine. The homepage says prompts go from the Mac to the provider the agent is signed into, and that Offrun has no server in that path. A builder can check that claim against the app's network traffic, and can read the worktree, review and memory choices because they are ordinary git and file conventions.

The login rotation feature treats a usage limit as a routing problem rather than a stop. Commenters on the Hacker News thread linked several comparable orchestrators, including Conductor, Superset and Paseo, so the category is crowded and buyers will compare on the details.

What to watch

Most of what Offrun says about itself comes from its own pages. The site does not publish a measurement of how often the peer reviewer catches real defects, so the review step is a feature to test, not a result to rely on. Pi and OpenCode are still listed as coming soon. The app depends on the CLIs it wraps, so changes to those tools will reach Offrun users first as breakage.

Key takeaways

  • Offrun is a free Mac app for Apple Silicon running macOS 14 or later, and it runs Claude Code, Codex, AGY and Grok Build side by side.
  • Each agent in a project gets its own git worktree, so parallel agents do not edit the same files.
  • A chosen reviewer agent reads the diff before the user accepts it, and the homepage says nothing merges on its own.
  • When one login hits its usage limit, Offrun moves the chat to another login or another agent, and the new one gets the conversation.
  • Project memory lives in plain files in the project folder, including conventions.md, plan.md and dead-ends.md.

FAQ

Does Offrun replace Claude Code or Codex?

No. Offrun runs the agents the user already has, signed in with the user's own accounts and subscriptions, and gives them one place to run together.

Does Offrun see my code?

According to its homepage and FAQ, no. Code goes from the Mac to whichever provider the agent is signed into, and Offrun says it has no server in that path. These are the company's statements, and we did not verify them against the app's network traffic.

Which agents does Offrun support today?

The homepage lists Claude Code, Codex, AGY and Grok Build. Pi and OpenCode are marked as coming soon. The changelog describes support for Gemini and Codex turns inside the app, so check the release notes before assuming a specific agent is covered.
