Ret: desktop workbench for running many Codex and Claude Code agents
An open-source Electron desktop app that spreads Codex and Claude Code threads across browser-style tabs, an infinite canvas, a Monaco code view, and a unified triage inbox with approvals, forks, and plan mode.
Why it matters
It drives the official, unmodified Codex and Claude Code engines with the user's own sign-ins, so parallel agent sessions across every project become visible, forkable, and triageable from one surface instead of scattered terminals.
What you could build with it
An indie developer juggling several projects could run Codex and Claude Code sessions side by side on Ret's canvas, clearing approvals from one inbox and forking experiments into git worktrees without losing track of any thread.
Does it hold up?
Too early to judge — launched today; only the maker's Show HN post and the product site exist, no independent hands-on reviews yet.
