Offrun, a new developer tool, puts Claude Code, Codex, AGY and Grok Build in one dashboard that tracks which agent is working, which needs input and how much quota each account has left.

A developer has released Offrun, a workspace that runs several coding agents at once so programmers can stop juggling separate terminal windows and browser tabs. The tool supports Anthropic's Claude Code, OpenAI's Codex, AGY and xAI's Grok Build, and its pitch is straightforward: keep every agent in one view. Offrun surfaced as a Show HN post, and the project is early, with little feedback so far.

The problem Offrun targets is coordination, not raw model capability. Once a developer runs more than one agent, it gets hard to tell which session is still generating code, which has paused to ask a question, and which has quietly hit a rate limit. Offrun answers with a single dashboard showing who is working, who needs the user, and what remains on each account.

That quota tracking may be the most practical feature. Claude Code, Codex and Grok Build all meter usage against paid subscriptions or API limits, and a task that dies mid-run because a cap was reached is a routine annoyance. Seeing remaining headroom across accounts in one place turns a scattered chore into a glance.

Offrun positions itself as a layer above the vendors rather than a competitor. Claude Code, Codex CLI and Grok Build each ship their own command-line interface and authentication, so combining them today means separate logins, separate usage pages and separate output streams. The tool abstracts that away while leaving the agents themselves untouched, and the inclusion of the lesser-known AGY signals a bet on breadth over loyalty to one ecosystem.

Breadth is also the risk. Vendors that change authentication flows or output formats can break third-party wrappers without warning, and Offrun's Show HN post does not detail how it handles credentials or conversation history. Those are the questions a tool sitting between a developer and four paid accounts will eventually have to answer.

What to watch next is whether developers want a neutral control plane for agents that compete with one another, or whether each vendor ships enough multi-session management on its own to make a third-party workspace redundant. Offrun's early feedback should give a first read on which way that goes.
