Overview
Conductore is a desktop terminal manager built for AI-driven development. It runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux as a native Electron application.
What is Conductore?
Modern AI-assisted development means running multiple agents simultaneously — Claude Code refactoring one module while opencode writes tests for another, all while you monitor git status and review a PR. Conductore is the control plane for that workflow.
It is not a replacement for your shell or terminal emulator. It is a workspace layer that organizes, monitors, and automates the terminals you already work in.
Key capabilities
- Split panes — 2 to 10 simultaneous terminal panes in quad, grid, and custom layouts
- AI agent automation — rate limit auto-resume, idle/stuck detection, session ID capture, plan detection
- Git integration — full workflow across Azure DevOps, GitHub, and GitLab from a sidebar panel
- Task system — YAML-based tasks linked to agent sessions and plans
- TUI apps — btop, lazygit, and any CLI app in a persistent slide-out panel
- Remote access — control your terminals from any device via a public tunnel
- Keyboard-first — 50+ shortcuts with a customizable editor and command palette
Architecture
Conductore is an Electron application with a React renderer. Terminals run as node-pty processes in the main process and are rendered with xterm.js (WebGL backend) in the renderer. The main process handles all file system, git, terminal, and network operations via IPC.
