Heavy conductor user here. Does the hacker news community have any suggestions for replacements?
https://orca.dev I think it's probably the easiest switch (Conductor imports).
I work on Orca and we're shipping frequently.
Let us know if you have feedback! (MIT OSS)
there are so many and I'm sure something has changed since I last checked but:
- paseo: open, mobile app is a first class citizen, i've been happy with it
- orca: vc backed, featureful (built in ios sim, for example)
- herdr: vc backed, terminal native, im sure there are more features since i last checked it
- t3: open, never used it but folks seem to like it
I moved to Paseo. Open source and let's you drive from your phone.
I'm one of the founders of https://podium.do. We created Podium because none of the other ADEs worked like what we wanted. I think it could be interesting for you to checkout as an alternative because there are similarities to Conductor, plus a few interesting additional features. We are pretty strong for complex tasks because we put an agent native issue tracker at the core of architecture which turned out as a super power in that case.
Free 3 month sub to any current Conductor user. We promise to never sell to Facebook, X or other weirdo billionaires. I started this company to get away from working at big tech and not to sell to it. Up to 10 cloud workspaces per person, works with all the things you need. https://hive.codes/signup
I use Paradev (https://paradev.com - previously Superset) and it's great. They posted a migration guide today https://docs.paradev.com/migrate-from-conductor
https://ampcode.com/ is amazing! Surprised the community here does not discuss it more.
Give my dreamcoder.ai harness a whirl. Runs in your browser on all 3 platforms. Tiling window manager; generous use of keyboard shortcuts, so it's not just for mouse users.
I like using https://paradev.com/
highly recommend https://www.scape.work - it's unlimited agents in parallel, and unlimited orchestrators in parallel.
Check Beolis (https://beolis.com).
Disclaimer: I'm developing it.
Agentastic is great for mac users. I'm hoping the project gets a boost with this acquistion.
I'm obviously biased but Paradev, it imports your Conductor worktrees as is https://paradev.com
Paseo is great
tern or orca or bb or vanilla claude code desktop / codex desktop
Claude or ChatGPT
boxes.dev!
getbb.app
macro.land
buzzpot.app :)
I will always recommend T3 Code, it is by far the best one I have tried that isn't glued to a specific model provider. Trades blows with Codex / Claude Desktop in terms of features. All of the other multi-provider orchestrators have not been keeping up with Claude Desktop in particular adding features at lightning-speed, but T3 Code somehow manages.
(I am building my own tool in this area and I literally downloaded and tried all of them as market research)
