Fix PR conflicts

Resolve the merge conflicts in the most recent PR, run the tests, and push the fix.

Ship itsends

Commit all changes, push to a new branch, and open a PR.

Start next task{{ }}

Pull main, create feature/{{task}}, and start on it.

Review this diff

Read the diff on this branch and list what would break in production.

Write the tests

Add tests for the code you just changed, and run them.

An empty window and a folder. Start an agent — nothing here runs for real.
task handoff

One agent stops.
The next one picks it up.

A limit, a finished plan, a dead end — hand the task over instead of retyping it.

  • Drafted from facts. Task, folder, branch, log path. Never from the screen.
  • You press Send. No timer, no status, ever starts an agent.
  • Or into a new worktree — fresh branch, uncommitted work carried across.

accounts

Two logins.
Same agent. Same window.

One config directory per account, handed to the CLI as one variable at launch.

  • You log in, in the terminal. No credential is ever read or copied.
  • Labels and paths only, in a 0700 directory of Patchbay's own.
  • Switching restarts the pane — and offers to hand the task across.

voice dictation

Hold a key.
Say the task.

Long prompts are faster spoken. Hold ⌘⇧D, talk, let go.

  • Entirely on this Mac. Recognition and clean-up both run on-device.
  • Off until you turn it on. No key monitor, no microphone asked for.
  • It never submits. The text waits in the prompt. Esc cancels.

⌘⇧Dheld down

Armed. Hold the key to dictate.

Look at the widget refresh scheduler andtell me why a run outlives its workspace.▌
Off by default. No monitor installed, no microphone asked for.
snippets

Stop retyping
“commit, push, open a PR”.

One prompt library for every workspace and every agent. ⌘P, pick, done.

  • Works across CLIs, and writes into none of their folders.
  • Fill in the blanks. {{task}} is asked for as it inserts.
  • Arrives as one block, never ten half-submitted lines.

custom widgets

Let the agents
keep score.

A strip under the toolbar, set up per project, filled by the agents themselves.

  • Fourteen types, each with a full card and a compact chip.
  • Read-only. A widget shows its value. It cannot touch a pane.
  • Refreshed on a schedule, if you ask — a headless turn in its own process group.

Pick a type — the card beside it is the real one, with example data.

demo · progress bar
Full card
Compact chip

One 30 px chip when
the strip is collapsed.

The value is kept on this Mac, and survives a restart.

Empty. Nothing to show until an agent reports.
the rest of the panel

What else is wired in.

Git worktrees

Its own branch, its own checkout, on your confirmation.

Workflows

Claude plans, Cursor builds, Codex reviews. Saved, reusable.

Delegation

A planner asks for an executor. You press Start.

Status worth trusting

From each CLI's own hooks. A word and a shape.

Local models

Ollama as a pane, and for Patchbay's own background work.

Light and dark

Both first-class, down to the terminal palette.

pricing

Free to start. Pro when you grow.

Two plans. Pro is $5 a month, billed monthly, with a 30-day free trial that starts when you create a Patchbay account. A trial needs an account; signed out, you stay on Free.

    $0

    • All agents, git worktrees, task handoff, local models and themes
    • A Patchbay account
    • Up to 3 terminals per workspace and 3 workspaces
    • Keeps the 3 starter snippets

  • Pro

    $5 / month

    Monthly only. 30-day free trial.

    • Everything in Free, plus:
    • Widgets and workflows
    • Creating new custom snippets
    • Voice dictation
    • Up to 16 terminals per workspace and unlimited workspaces

    Upgrading is not open yet.

Downgrading never deletes anything. Your workspaces, workflows and snippets stay.

Nothing leaves your Mac unless you sign in.

non-negotiables

Your workflow stays yours.

Six promises about your machine, your files and your keys — written as invariants the build enforces, so a violation blocks the commit rather than shipping.

I-1

Never orphan a process

SIGHUP to the whole group, two seconds, then SIGKILL.

I-6

No network, unless you opt in

Strict CSP, no analytics, no remote fonts. Two exceptions: an opt-in check against GitHub for new versions, and signing in to a Patchbay account. No sync, no telemetry.

I-7

No secrets, no output, stored

Terminal output lives in memory only. Logs carry ids and timings.

I-8

Your files are read-only

Except a git worktree you asked for. Nothing else is written.

I-2

⌘-only shortcuts

Ctrl, Esc, Option and plain keys always reach the terminal.

I-3

Your real login shell

$SHELL -l -i — your PATH, your version managers, your aliases.

Give your agents
one window.

Patch them in.

A dark room: one desk, one display running Patchbay, someone in an armchair facing it. A cable drops from the button above into the display, and each pulse down it patches another agent into the window.
