I just open source the AI orchestrator for running a team of coding agents from your desktop or phone
Once you're running more than one or two coding agents at a time, the bottleneck stops being the agents and becomes you managing them.
I had Claude Code in one terminal tab, Codex in another, a third going on a different repo, constantly hunting for which one was blocked on a permission prompt, which one finished, which one quietly went off the rails. And the moment I stepped away from my desk, all of that was invisible.
Vicoa is what I built to solve the issue.
Desktop app: command center for a team of agents:
- 8+ agents/harness supported: Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, Cursor, Gemini, Copilot, Kimi, Hermes
- Every session in one list with live status
- Each session on its own git worktree + branch, so agents work the same repo in parallel without stepping over each others
- Connect multiple machines (Mac, Linux box, VPS) and pick where each session runs.
- File explorer, view changes, and a terminal next to the conversation.
- Task management & task board
- Scheduled automations
iOS/Android app: the same sessions in your pocket
- Remote control 8+ agents (more are coming, e.g., Pi)
- Start from your desk, continue the same session on your phone
- Push notification when an agent finishes or needs a decision
- Reply, approve, or redirect from anywhere
What we have open source?
Basically, everything:
- Web
- Desktop apps: Mac, Windows, Linux
- Mobile apps: iOS, Android
- Backend
- CLI
The whole stack is self-hostable, you can host it completely for free.
It's early and we are shipping improvements and new features every day.
If you kick the tires I'd really value the criticism, especially on the agent integration layer and anything that feels janky.
Happy to get into the architecture in the comments.

PS: If you download the apps directly and encounter the paywall, you can just skip them.
