Operator
Run Claude Code and Codex in parallel from any browser.
Operator is a web-based control room for coding agents. Every task gets a persistent agent session in an isolated git worktree, so you can delegate across projects without juggling terminals or mixing branches.
Run Operator on your own computer, self-host it on a server, or use the hosted version. A deployed workspace is available from your computer, tablet, or phone.

One web workspace for every agent
- Run tasks in parallel. Each task has its own worktree, branch, transcript, and Claude Code or Codex session.
- Know where you are needed. One cross-project inbox surfaces every session waiting for your input while other agents keep working.
- Keep context alive. Save project knowledge once, persist transcripts across reloads,
and use
/clearto start a fresh context window without losing the task lineage. - Review before you ship. Inspect the diff beside the conversation, sync the branch, resolve conflicts, merge, or open a pull request.
Chain tasks into pipelines
Make a task depend on one or several earlier tasks. Work can branch into parallel paths, then join again for final integration. Enable Start when unblocked and Operator launches each task as soon as its last dependency finishes.
Create tasks → connect dependencies → agents work in isolated branches → review and merge
Run it your way
| Best for | Access | |
|---|---|---|
| Local | Using Operator on one machine with the least setup | localhost in your browser |
| Self-hosted | An always-on workspace on infrastructure you control | Any authorized browser or device |
| Hosted | An always-on workspace without managing a server | getoperator.dev from any browser or device |
Operator is a web app in all three modes. Running locally keeps the app and its data on your machine. Deploying it makes the same control room reachable wherever you are, including on mobile.
Quick start
You need Node 20.9 or newer, macOS or Linux, and at least one supported agent CLI.
git clone https://github.com/iishyfishyy/operator-oss.git
cd operator-oss
npm install
npm run build
npm start
Open http://localhost:3000. The first-run wizard connects Claude Code or Codex and guides you through a small real task. Both agents support subscription login, so an API key is not required. API keys remain an explicit option.
For Docker, authentication, TLS, and secure access from outside your machine, follow the self-hosting guide. Do not expose an unauthenticated Operator origin to a network.
More than chat
Operator also includes list and kanban views, agent-suggested follow-up tasks, per-project and per-task terminals, managed services with live logs, project recaps, and transparent token and usage insights.
