The IDE for working
with many agents.
Run Claude Code and Codex side by side, let sessions talk to each other, and see what needs you, all in one window.

Sessions
Every agent.
One list.
Each Claude Code or Codex session is one row: its state, what it is doing, and how much waits for you. The ones that need you turn amber, so they never hide.
Between sessions
Agents that work
together.
Sessions can message each other and type into each other’s terminals over a local bus. One agent can check another’s work. Every line shows who typed it, and you can read every exchange.
To check
Only what
needs you.
Decisions, questions and expired sign-ins collect in To check and stay there until they are resolved. You see what a decision will do before you make it.
IDE views
A full IDE,
when you want one.
Easel is built on Code - OSS. The editor, Source Control, Search and Open VSX extensions are one shortcut away, and one shortcut gone.
The real thing
Not a mockup.
This is Easel, captured from a build: four sessions on one project, a decision waiting, the files they changed, and what they said to each other.
Made for agent work.
Your accounts
Sign in to each CLI yourself.
Claude Code and Codex run as the official CLIs, in their own terminals, signed in with your own account.
0
telemetry.
Nothing about your work leaves your Mac.
Built on
Code - OSS.
The editor and Source Control you already know.
Extensions
Open VSX, reviewed.
An allow-list runs; anything else waits for you.
Appearance
Dark and light.
Follows your Mac, terminal included.
Privacy and security
Your keys stay yours.
Easel never opens the CLI tools’ tokens. You sign in to each tool yourself.
Its own GitHub sign-in is kept in your macOS Keychain and is never passed to a session.
No telemetry. Logs stay on your Mac and never include message text, terminal content or tokens.
Extensions outside the allow-list run only after you review them.
Coming to iPhone
Decide from
your phone.
See what needs you and approve a decision with Face ID, away from your Mac. Easel for iPhone is planned.
Start with Easel.
Easel is in a private trial. Tell us what you would use it for, and we will write when it opens.
