About Auto Claude
Auto Claude is an open-source desktop app for autonomous, multi-agent coding on top of Anthropic's Claude Code. You open a Git repository, describe a task, and agents plan the work, write the code and run a quality-assurance loop before you review it. Each task runs in its own Git worktree, so your main branch stays untouched until you merge, and the app can run up to 12 agent terminals in parallel. A kanban board tracks tasks from planning to completion, and extras include a memory layer that carries insights between sessions, AI-assisted merge conflict resolution, a roadmap planner, changelog generation and integrations with GitHub, GitLab and Linear. It runs on Windows, macOS and Linux, and a CLI is available for headless use. The app is free under the AGPL-3.0, but it needs a Claude Pro or Max subscription and the Claude Code CLI to work. Its makers are now building a broader hosted platform called Aperant, which is in early access with pricing not yet announced.
Best for: Developers on a Claude subscription who want to run several coding agents in parallel with review gates.
