Desktop workspace for Claude Code and other CLI agents

Tendril is a desktop and web control surface for agentic coding. It wraps CLI agents in isolated git worktrees, review steps, and intake flows so you can steer work instead of editing in a normal IDE. It supports Claude Code, Codex, Copilot, Gemini, OpenCode, and other terminal agents, with features for annotations, voice prompts, GitHub issues, and remote access.

Who it's for

Builders who want one place to run, review, and steer terminal coding agents.

What it delivers

You can keep agent work in separate worktrees, review changes before merge, and manage jobs without living in your IDE.

What it does

Parallel worktrees

Runs agents in isolated git worktrees so your main branch stays clean until you approve the changes.

Tunneling for remote control

Uses Cloudflare Quick Tunnels so you can monitor and steer agent runs from another device.

Voice and rich input

Lets you dictate prompts with Whisper and attach files, logs, or documents by drag-and-drop.

Plan annotations

Lets you annotate drafts inline and update the agent plan from those edits.

Code review workflow

Shows diffs, reviews agent changes, and adds automated verification gates before approval.

GitHub and inbox intake

Turns GitHub issues or jam.dev bug reports into active jobs through webhook-based import.

Ivy Tendril

The Agentic Software Factory for 10x Builders

AI agents can now write 99% of the code. This changes what it means to be a developer. Our role shifts to knowing what good looks like. To do that, we need completely new developer tools. Tendril is that tool and replaces your IDE in an agentic era.
