Description
HarnessDesk is a comprehensive control plane designed for coding agents such as Codex, Claude Code, Cursor, Gemini, and any ACP agent. It provides a centralized platform where users can manage context, policy, history, and cost for their agents. The application runs entirely on macOS, ensuring that all operations are performed locally on the user's machine.

HarnessDesk supports Codex natively, while Claude Code and Cursor are integrated through verified bridges. The platform allows users to manage multiple agents from a single JSON entry, providing a seamless experience across different coding environments. One of its key features is a unified usage meter that tracks the usage across all plans, reading directly from each agent's cache on the user's machine.
The platform offers a shared board where three agents can claim jobs. This ensures that a job is never handed out but claimed by an agent, preventing overlaps with live claims. Additionally, HarnessDesk facilitates hand-offs by packing goals, changed files, and branches, then staging them in another agent, allowing work to continue seamlessly.
HarnessDesk is available for free, making it accessible to developers who already run multiple coding agents. It is particularly suited for those who are part of the developer preview group, willing to provide feedback on any issues encountered. The application is optimized for Intel Macs, with checksums available for verification.
