Visit Maxxwell

Maxxwell is a desktop workspace for running multiple coding agents in parallel. Each task opens its own lane, and lanes are ranked by what they have actually landed, so sessions that are burning time without progress surface first. When an agent gets stuck, Maxxwell shows the question it is asking along with the tool calls and file activity behind the stall, and you can answer or take over from the same window.

The workspace works with coding tools such as Claude Code and Codex, and includes a managing agent that coordinates the other sessions. It tracks session activity, context usage, and requests for your attention, with a command palette for finding lanes, branches, and files. It runs on macOS, Windows, and Linux, with a CLI installer available as an alternative to the desktop app.

Maxxwell is free to use, with users bringing their own coding agent subscriptions or API keys.
