Clockwork schedules AI coding agents

Clockwork is a macOS app for scheduling recurring AI coding jobs on a real calendar. It runs agents in isolated Git worktrees, pauses risky actions for approval, enforces budget limits, and reports the actual cost.

// ANALYSIS

Clockwork turns autonomous coding from an ad hoc terminal experiment into an accountable operations workflow.

–Supports Claude Code, Codex CLI, OpenCode, and Hermes Agent with BYOK or existing subscriptions
–Per-run macOS Seatbelt sandboxes and isolated worktrees reduce the blast radius of unattended agents
–Budget caps, turn limits, timeouts, and approval gates address the biggest risks in scheduled agent work
–Searchable reports containing branches, diffs, transcripts, and costs make agent behavior auditable
–The local-only design is compelling for privacy, but jobs require an awake Mac, limiting true 24/7 automation
