Agents that use the deck
Through Hydradeck's MCP server, agents open diffs for you to review, start terminals, and build and run workflows themselves. You decide what each may do without asking.
For developers running many agents at once
Organize your agents. Orchestrate the work.
Hydradeck keeps every coding agent in its workspace, shows you the few that need you, and moves work through agents on pipelines you design. It all runs on the host, so it carries on while you're away.

Organize
Every agent in its place, and the ones that need you on top.
Every workspace has its own tabs and agents. Their status rolls up to the workspace and the title bar, so with a dozen agents across five workspaces you still see the two waiting on you, and jump straight to them.
Needs you
Asking a question or waiting for permission. Counted first, everywhere.
Working
Leave it alone. Hide its tab and it keeps reporting.
Done
Finished, with something for you to look at.
Idle
Open and waiting for its next prompt.
Orchestrate
Hand agents a list of work and let it run.
A board is your process as lists: investigate, agree on a plan, build, review. Each list does its job to every card that reaches it, with as many agents at once as you allow, then passes the card on. Work keeps moving with the app closed.
You step in only where you're needed. A card that has a question shows it, and you answer on the card. Each list's job is a workflow you draw on a canvas, with agents, scripts, branches, loops and steps that wait for you.

Always running
Close the laptop. Your agents keep going.
Your terminals run on the host, not in the app. Disconnect, switch computers or restart Hydradeck, and every workspace, tab and screen is where you left it.
Even if the host reboots, your tabs come back in the same folders and Claude Code agents pick up their sessions.

Also built in
Everything around the agents.
Rules and skills, once
Write them once, globally, per host or per workspace, and every agent gets them. Each skill also becomes a slash command.
Git in the sidebar
Every workspace shows its branch, worktrees and changes. Review diffs, commit, push and pull without leaving the deck.
The Vault
Notes, snippets and documents, kept globally, per host or per workspace. Agents keep their work here too.
Local or any SSH host
Nothing to install on the host.
Pick a host
Your own machine, or any host in your
~/.ssh/config. On Windows, your own machine means WSL.Hydradeck sets itself up
It installs what it needs in
~/.hydradeckon the host and keeps it up to date. Nothing system-wide, and no root.One SSH connection
Everything goes over a single connection with your usual keys. There are no ports to open.
Works with Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and GitHub Copilot CLI. Hosts can run Linux (glibc 2.28 or newer) or macOS, on x64 or arm64.
