github.com/KevinEdry/chloe @v0.4.0

The terminal-native AI agent orchestrator. Manage multiple AI coding sessions. Zero bloat.

Why Chloe?

AI coding agents are powerful, but managing multiple sessions is chaos. You're juggling terminal tabs, losing context, and watching your system slow to a crawl under Electron-based IDEs.

Chloe fixes this.

Built for Power Users

• Terminal-native: Stays in your workflow. No context switching.
• Multi-agent orchestration: Run Claude Code, Gemini CLI, Amp, or OpenCode in parallel panes.
• Kanban + terminals: See what each agent is working on while watching their output.
• Git & Jujutsu support: Each task gets its own worktree (Git) or workspace (Jujutsu), isolated and ready.
• 100% safe Rust: Memory safety guaranteed. No undefined behavior. Ever.

Features

Multi-Provider Support

Works with the AI coding agents you already use:

Chloe auto-detects installed providers and lets you choose which one to use for each task.

Task Management

Macro-level visibility into your work: - Kanban board: To Do, In Progress, Done columns - Task list view: Dense view for many tasks - Persistent state: Pick up where you left off

Interactive Terminal Panes

Full PTY support means real terminal emulation: - Split panes horizontally or vertically - Keyboard-driven navigation (vim-style) - Watch agent output in real-time

Roadmap View

Plan work across milestones. Visualize what's coming, what's blocked, and what's done.

Git Worktrees & Jujutsu Workspaces

Parallel development without branch switching: - Each task can have its own worktree (Git) or workspace (Jujutsu) - Choose your preferred version control system in Settings - Isolated environments for each agent - No stash/checkout dance - Chloe adapts UI terminology based on your VCS choice

Quick Start

Install

curl -fsSL getchloe.sh/install | bash

chloe

That's it. No configuration required.

How It Compares

Chloe fills a gap: It's like tmux met a kanban board and learned to speak to AI agents.

Keyboard Shortcuts

Data Storage

State is stored in .chloe/state.json in your project directory: - Tasks and their status - Instance configurations - Roadmap items - Settings

All data stays local. No cloud sync. No telemetry.
