## What it does

Munder Difflin wraps the CLI coding agents you already subscribe to — Claude Code, OpenAI
Codex, Antigravity (Gemini), GitHub Copilot CLI, xAI Grok, Kimi Code, OpenCode, Crush,
pi.dev — and turns them into a coordinated, forever-running team on your own machine:

- **Real terminals.** Every agent is a genuine CLI process (node-pty + xterm.js) in its own
terminal and its own isolated git worktree. Nothing is a log abstraction; you can watch
and type into any agent's session.
- **Your clone, Michael** routes work, spawns hires, and escalates to a human
for spend, scope changes, and destructive operations.
- **Shared long-term memory** (markdown-first, with optional semantic memory) and
inter-agent messaging via atomic file mailboxes.
- **Voice orchestration (v0.3.4+).** Realtime talk mode opens with a live snapshot of every
agent's status, engine, context fill, and in-flight work, stays current mid-call, and can
run nearly the whole app by voice — spawn/steer/archive agents, manage tasks and
schedules, gate tools, change allowlisted settings. Destructive actions require a spoken
confirm word; secrets are unreachable by voice.
- **Built-in Monaco IDE (v0.3.3+, expanded v0.3.4).** Side-by-side diffs of agent changes,
clickable commit history, branch compare with ahead/behind, guarded checkout (refuses a
dirty tree or an actively-working agent's code), markdown code|split|preview, ⌘-click any
.md path in a terminal for an instant rendered preview.
- **Autonomy with guardrails.** Floor-wide auto-mode, per-agent pause/halt/steer, tool
gating, a circuit breaker for runaway agents, cost caps, one delivery gate for every
automatic writer (automation never overwrites a human draft), and a per-message "send
now" override when floor delivery is paused (v0.3.5).
- **Background work.** Scheduled missions, Slack triggers (message the office from Slack,
get replies in-thread), webhook triggers, desktop notifications, Remote Control from a
phone.
- **Auto-update (working from v0.3.7).** Checks GitHub releases, downloads in the background, installs
only on the user's "restart to update" click.
- **Local-first.** No vendor cloud, no code upload, state in local SQLite; the only network
traffic is what the user's own CLIs already make to their providers.

## Positioning

Munder Difflin covers the same jobs as YC's qm (github.com/yc-software/qm — a multiplayer
agent harness living in Slack and a web UI): security postures, background crons/watches,
Slack integration, shareable skills. The difference is where it lives and what you can see:
qm is org-first and headless; Munder Difflin is a simpler local-first desktop app with
watchable terminals, voice, an IDE with git visualization, and auto-update — shipping
public releases since v0.2.0 (mid-2026). Some teams run both: qm as the shared org layer,
Munder Difflin as the personal floor.
New in 0.5.6: Capabilities (Pro), a marketplace of 2,347 MCP servers, skills, plugins and tools
from the public list HarnessMD/awesome-agent-capabilities, 622 of them reviewed by us; Integrations,
one place for Slack, webhooks, the apps your agents use and your keys; and Teams, so your office
talks to your teammates' offices. Agents also use fewer tokens by default, and a temp, a short lived
agent for one job, can answer Slack, a teammate, a webhook or a schedule.

Munder Difflin wraps the terminal coding agents you already use and turns them into a team
that coordinates itself on your own machine.

- **Every terminal is a real agent.** Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, Gemini CLI, Antigravity
(Gemini), xAI Grok, Kimi Code, Qwen, OpenCode, Crush, pi.dev, GitHub Copilot CLI, Cursor,
or a custom command, each running as the real CLI in its own terminal (node-pty and
xterm.js). You can watch any session live and type straight into it.
- **Your clone, Michael.** The one agent you brief. He assigns the work, routes the traffic
between agents, and escalates only spend, scope changes and destructive steps to you. Press
Talk to run the floor by voice.
- **The hive.** Per agent markdown memory, mailboxes, a shared board and an event log, kept in
a local git repository of plain files. Memory is mined into a shared palace that every agent
can search, so agents remember across sessions.
- **The office floor.** Agents appear as avatars on a 2D office floor; they walk to stations as
they work, and envelopes fly desk to desk when they message each other.
- **Command Center.** Kanban tasks with keys and dependencies, scheduled missions, live fleet
monitoring, memory search, an activity log and a CI watcher.
- **Built in Monaco IDE.** File tree, editor tabs, and git rails for changes, history and branch
compare, with guarded checkout.
- **Control and safety.** Per agent autonomy settings, human gates for spend, scope and
destructive operations, and a circuit breaker that steers, constrains, then stops an agent
that loops or runs away. Per agent token budgets.
- **Getting work in.** Slack messages and inbound webhooks (GitHub, Linear, Telegram or your
own), each with the agent that answers it. Michael can start a short lived worker for one
job, reply in thread, and tear it down.
- **Your own keys and local models.** Provider keys sit in a write only secret broker. Ollama,
LM Studio and vLLM base URLs are supported.
- **More than one floor.** File, New Floor opens another office on its own folder, with its own
agents, board and memory.
- **Setup help.** The onboarding wizard checks what you have and offers to install what is
missing. A missing agent CLI shows as a card with an Install button, and Settings,
Prerequisites lists the supporting tools.
- **Updates in one click** from the title bar badge.
- **Languages.** English, Simplified Chinese and Arabic, with right to left layout for Arabic.

## Free and Pro

The app is free. Pro is a paid plan, $150 USD a year adjusted for purchasing power, that adds
Capabilities, agent files, the Pro sidebar (Tasks, Inbox, Automations, Memory, Capabilities,
Integrations) and the Stapler, which records meetings with both sides of the call and sends
messages, screenshots and files to any agent. As part of the 0.5.6 launch, Pro is free for
everyone who signs in until Saturday 24 October 2026.
Plans: https://app.harnessmd.com/console/license

## Install

Download for macOS/Windows/Linux: https://github.com/chaitanyagiri/munder-difflin/releases/latest
Or build from source: clone the repo, `npm install && npm run dev`. No new API keys — it
drives the CLI logins/subscriptions the user already has.
1. Download the app for your system: https://harnessmd.com/download . You do not need Node, a
toolchain or the repository to use it.
2. Have at least one agent CLI, or let the app install it: a missing CLI shows as a card with
Install, and you sign in inside the app.
3. Open the app; the wizard takes you to the floor. Add an agent, or brief Michael.

Build from source (contributors): Node.js 18 or later, npm, and a C/C++ toolchain for
node-pty. Then `git clone https://github.com/HarnessMD/munder-difflin.git`, `npm install`,
`npm run dev`.

## Where it runs

The app runs on your computer. Each agent CLI talks to the model provider you signed it in
to, the same way it does on its own, or to a local model you point it at. Official builds
send a small set of anonymous usage events, never prompts, code, file paths or agent output;
the list and the three ways to turn it off are in
https://github.com/HarnessMD/munder-difflin/blob/main/TELEMETRY.md .
