About Zerg Client
Zerg Client (ZTC) is a beta AI coding agent for developers working in existing code projects. It reads and explores project code, plans changes, edits files, runs commands and tests, and checks results. Users can work in a terminal client or, on Apple Silicon Macs, the native desktop app; named sessions can be saved and resumed. Its screen layer lets the agent open and operate terminal panes (zmux) while users watch. ZTC connects to models through a ZergAI account or local provider API keys; available models depend on the sign-in route and provider access. The command-line client runs headlessly on macOS, Linux, and Windows. ZTC is source-available under the Zerg Source Available License and free to evaluate; other commercial use requires a separate license. Model usage is billed separately.

Claude Code
Claude Code is an AI-powered coding agent designed to work directly inside your existing development environment. It goes beyond simple autocomplete by understanding entire codebases and helping developers build, debug, refactor, and ship features faster. Developers can interact with Claude Code from the terminal, IDEs, Slack, or the web, making it easy to stay in flow without switching tools. By describing tasks in natural language, users can let Claude handle code exploration, modifications, and explanations. Claude Code can analyze project structure, dependencies, and architecture to onboard developers quickly. It integrates with common command-line tools, version control systems, and testing workflows. This makes it a powerful companion for both individual developers and teams working on complex software projects.

Herdr
Herdr is a terminal-based runtime and multiplexer for developers who run AI coding agents, shells, tests, and other command-line tools. It organizes work into workspaces, tabs, and panes managed by a background server, so processes can keep running when a client disconnects. Users can reattach locally or connect to Herdr on other machines over SSH. The software detects supported coding agents and displays whether they are working, blocked, idle, or done; integrations can preserve native agent sessions after a server restart. Its CLI and local socket API let scripts and agents inspect sessions, manage panes, start or prompt agents, and wait for state changes. Developers can configure keybindings and themes and extend workflows with local executable plugins. Herdr is installed on macOS, Linux, or Windows and is released under the Apache 2.0 license.

AgentVera
AgentVera is a desktop application for running and coordinating AI coding agents across software projects. It opens installed command-line agents in separate terminal panes, so developers can work with several agents side by side, assign tasks, pass work between agents through configurable flows, and monitor status and approvals in one workspace. The application includes project and Git tools, code-change review, MCP server management, and connections to development services such as GitHub and Sentry. Agents run on the user’s macOS, Windows, or Linux computer and use their own existing logins; a companion Android app lets users check and control running sessions remotely. AgentVera is aimed at developers and software teams, with a free plan for individual use and paid plans adding automation and team features.

Unstoppable AI
Unstoppable is a desktop agent IDE for software developers and engineering teams working with AI coding agents. It brings Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and other command-line agents into one workspace, where tasks can run in parallel across repositories with separate Git worktrees, terminals, and browser tabs. Users can create repeatable workflows for code review, issue triage, ticket planning, and other development tasks, and connect project context through GitHub, Linear, and Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers. The desktop app is available for macOS and Windows, with web agents and a mobile companion for remote access to workspaces. App features are free; agent usage can rely on a user's existing provider subscription or optional AI credits.
