Irie
Every AI coding agent you have, side by side, in one calm view.
Irie runs coding agents from any supplier, on any model, in the cloud or on your own machine. Each one works on its own task in its own copy of your code, and one window shows what every agent is doing and which one needs you. It is what our own agents run in.
Free under the Apache-2.0 license. For Mac and Linux. No account, no server, no telemetry.
Who it’s for
Anyone who works with AI coding agents
Whether you run one agent or a dozen, on Claude or on a model on your own laptop.
- Developers Hand the grind to agents working in parallel, and spend your hours on the parts only you can do.
- Teams at work It runs on each person’s own machine with the AI provider you already use. Nothing goes to a server of ours: there isn’t one.
- Small firms like ours Several jobs moving at once, each in its own lane, with a person checking every result.
How it works
Type a task, watch the cards, answer when asked
-
Type a task
Say what you want done. Irie starts an agent on it in its own git worktree, so agents never trip over each other’s changes.
-
Watch the cards
Every agent gets a card: working, done, or red when it has a question. Answer it, and the agent goes back to work.
-
Use the right model
A fast local model for the small jobs, a strong cloud model for the hard ones, and a second opinion from another supplier before anything reaches you.
-
Come back to it
Close the window and the agents keep working. Every session’s context is kept in git, so any of it can be picked up again.
Why people use it
More done, less spent, nothing hidden
-
Take back your time
Agents work side by side, each on its own task. You review, decide, and do the parts only you can do.
-
Any agent, any supplier
Claude Code, or any other agent that runs in a terminal. If a supplier raises prices or goes away, swap it out.
-
Less spent per task
Each task goes to the cheapest model accurate enough for it, and a model on your own machine costs nothing per token.
-
Nothing sent on its own
No server, no account, no telemetry. Your agents talk to their own providers, as they would without Irie, and its records stay in folders only you can open.
-
One calm view
A sidebar of cards in place of a wall of terminals. Red means an agent needs you; everything else can wait.
