Direct coding agents on your own machines.

Alisa Code is a native Mac app for working with Codex and Claude. Threads, workflows, issues and Git, in one window.

  • macOS
  • Written in Rust
  • Open source planned
The Alisa Code window on a Mac. The sidebar lists two threads, each with its finished sub-agents under it. The open thread shows the request, the two checks it delegated to sub-agents and its answer. Beside it the Git tab shows what the agent changed in two files, line by line.

Threads

One thread for each piece of work.

Start a thread with Codex or Claude in a project folder. It shows the work as it happens: the commands it ran, what failed, what it changed. Sub-agents, and agents you delegate to, sit under the thread that started them, and you can open or stop any of them.

A thread. What the agent did: it ran two commands, one of which failed, and changed one file. The change is shown line by line, and the answer below says what happened.

Workflows

Workflows you can see.

A workflow is a file that says which agent does what, and in what order. One implements, another reviews, and the first fixes what the review found, until it passes. Alisa Code draws the file as a graph and shows each run on it as it happens.

A workflow drawn as a graph: Implement leads to Review; Review leads to Fix if a finding blocks, and Fix loops back to Review; otherwise the run is done.

Automations

Work that starts on a schedule.

Give a prompt a schedule and it runs as its own thread: every morning, every two hours, on Fridays, or just once. One list shows what runs next, what ran last and what needs you.

A list of automations in three groups: Needs you, Active and Paused. Each row shows its schedule, when it runs next and when it last ran.

Tasks

Issues, beside the agents.

Tasks is an issue tracker inside the app. Write an issue, hand it to an agent, and follow the work from the issue.

An issue list grouped by status: Todo, In Progress and Done, with ids, labels and dates.

Git

Review what the agents changed.

Agents can each work in their own worktree. The Git tab puts every worktree and branch on one graph, shows what changed line by line, and commits, pushes and opens the pull request with one button.

A commit graph with one lane per branch. Three worktrees each show their uncommitted files at the top of their lane.
A branch with four changed files and their line counts, the diff of each file beside them, and one button that commits, pushes and creates the pull request.

Also in the app

Your agents

It runs the agents you already have.

Alisa Code doesn’t include a model and doesn’t sell access to one. It drives Codex and Claude Code as they are installed on your machine, signed in with your own accounts.

Open source

Open source, as planned.

The plan is to publish the source: the desktop app under the GPL, and everything else under Apache 2.0. It isn’t public yet, and there is no date.

Alisa Code is made by Kensei.
