From the README

Harnss is currently pending a large rewrite to improve usability, performance and overall codebase into a more production ready app. I will share more info about it soon.

Harnss is in early development and issues are to be expected. Please feel free to report bugs and issues in the Issues section.

  Harness your AI coding agents.

Harnss is a cross-platform desktop app that gives you one interface to run, manage, and switch between AI coding agents — Claude Code, Codex, and any ACP-compatible agent — without losing context, sessions, or tool state.

Why Harnss?

- One app, every agent. Run Claude Code, Codex, and custom ACP agents side by side. No more juggling terminals or losing context when switching tools.
- See what your AI is actually doing. Tool calls render as interactive cards with word-level diffs, syntax highlighting, and inline bash output — not raw JSON.
- Your workspace, your way. Built-in terminal, browser, git, MCP servers, and file panels — all scoped per project, all staying open while you work.
