Baton orchestrates AI coding agents locally

Baton is a desktop app for running AI coding agents in parallel without them stepping on each other. It spins up each agent in its own git-isolated workspace, supports Claude Code, Codex CLI, OpenCode, Gemini CLI, and any terminal-based agent, and adds the missing orchestration layer with notifications, diff review, file browsing, search, PR creation, and a built-in MCP server for spawning more workspaces from the agent side.

// ANALYSIS

Hot take: this is less about “better code generation” and more about making agent-heavy development operationally sane.

–The git worktree isolation is the core value: parallel agents can move fast without merge chaos.
–The UI is clearly built for supervision, not just execution, with status badges and workspace-level attention signals.
–Broad CLI-agent support matters because it avoids locking users into one model or vendor.
–Built-in review tools and PR flow make it feel closer to a control plane than a toy launcher.
–The main risk is complexity: if someone only runs one agent at a time, Baton may be more machinery than they need.
