An infinite canvas for Claude Code
& AI coding agents

Drop claude, codex, gemini or opencode into real workspaces and run them in parallel — across git worktrees and remote SSH hosts. Watch every diff live. Track work with a Kanban board that's just markdown on disk, which agents read and update over MCP.

hivemind — acme-pay
The full hivemind canvas — an issues board, a code editor, a live git diff, and two AI coding agent terminals, all on one infinite canvas

One infinite canvas per repo. Every tile is live — agent terminals, diffs that update as the agent edits, a file tree, an editor, an issues board, even a real browser.

Why hivemind

A bare terminal throws away everything around the work — which task, what changed, the session when you close the window. hivemind makes the project the unit of work: one canvas per repo, several agents in parallel, each scoped to its own directory, branch and issues.

Agents in real terminals

Full PTY tiles for claude, codex, gemini, opencode — not chat boxes. Sessions survive the window and resume after a reboot.

Parallel by worktree & SSH

Bind a frame to a local repo, a git worktree, or a remote SSH host. Run agents side by side, each isolated — no conflicts.

Live diffs, side by side

A diff tile next to each terminal updates as the agent edits — split or unified, with line comments you send straight back.

Kanban PM you can cat

Issues, acceptance criteria, cycles and an activity log as plain markdown under .hivemind/. No database, no API.

Agents update it over MCP

A small MCP server lets an agent pick up an issue, flip its state, tick acceptance criteria, and comment its own progress.

Local-first & private

Everything on your machine. No telemetry, no cloud account, no SDK lock-in — agents use your existing CLI login.

FAQ

Is there a canvas or GUI for Claude Code?+

Yes — hivemind is an infinite canvas for Claude Code and other AI coding agents. Each agent runs in a real terminal tile, alongside diffs, a file tree, an editor, an issues board and a browser, on one zoomable canvas per project.

How do I run multiple AI coding agents in parallel?+

Bind each frame to a local repo, a git worktree, or a remote SSH host, then spawn an agent per frame. They work side by side — each scoped to its own directory, branch and issues — and you watch every diff update live.

Is it like tmux for AI agents?+

Same idea, many agents on one screen, but with the structure agents need: a diff next to each terminal, a markdown issues board they update over MCP, worktrees as nested frames, and sessions that resume after a reboot.

Which agents are supported?+

claude, codex, gemini and opencode out of the box; any terminal-native coding agent can be added via the registry.

Is it local-first and private?+

Yes. Everything runs locally, the data is files on your disk, there's no telemetry, and agents use your existing CLI login — no extra API keys.
