Do I need new API keys?

No. Each agent keeps the login it already has, whether that's a plan, an API key or a compatible endpoint. MAO never asks you to export a key.

Does my code leave my computer?

Only to your agents' own providers, the same as when you run them in a terminal. It never passes through MAO, and diagnostics are off unless you turn them on.

Do I need an account?

Yes, a free one. Sign in with your email once and the 7-day trial starts. No password and no card.

Is it a subscription?

No. You pay once, and it comes with a seat in the Discord.

Does the price depend on where I live?

Yes. It's $20 in most countries, and less where money goes further, the way a coffee doesn't cost the same everywhere: $17 in China, $18 in the rest of East Asia, Singapore, the Gulf and Israel, $14 in Vietnam, India, Indonesia and Asia's other lower-income countries, and $13 in Brazil and the rest of South America. The site and checkout show your price automatically.

What happens after the 7 days?

MAO locks until you buy, then picks up where you left off. Your workspaces stay on your disk either way. The trial belongs to your account and your computer, so a new email on the same machine won't start another.

How many computers can I use it on?

One at a time. You can move it to another computer up to 3 times a year, and going back to one you've used before is free.

How do agents talk to each other?

Through the wires you draw. A wired agent can ask, delegate and hand results back. An agent with no wire can't reach anyone.

Do I need to write code?

No. Tell the Orchestrator what you want and approve what it does. If you do write code, every node is a real terminal you can take over.

Which platforms does it run on?

macOS on Apple silicon and Intel, Windows x86_64, and Linux x86_64 on Wayland or X11.

MAO — Multi-Agent Orchestration for Claude Code & Codex

How it works

Pick any agent. It runs on your own login.

Layers

Each layer is a real git worktree, so agents never step on each other.

plannerClaude Code

> split retries and dedupe into layers

● mao layer create "retries"

└ Created layer retries on strata/retries-7c41e2a9.

● mao recruit builder --preset codex --layer "retries"

● mao layer create "dedupe"

└ Created layer dedupe on strata/dedupe-1d0b5f3e.

● mao recruit coder --preset claude --layer "dedupe"

● Two layers, two agents. I'll say when one is ready.

Attention

Running agents stay quiet. The ones that need you line up.

Features

Twelve agents. Only one of you.

The canvas does the busywork.

Agents click through your app before you do.

A portal is a real browser on your canvas. Wire an agent to it and it fills the form, clicks Place order and screenshots the result.

Type once. Three agents start.

Select the agents, write one prompt, press send. It lands in all of them.

Your agents take the night shift.

Routines send a prompt every night at 2 AM. A busy agent is skipped, not interrupted.

Nine places. One key each.

Saved views bookmark the camera. Option and a number flies you back.

Try it

Agents on your server. Canvas on your desk.

Remote workspaces open over SSH. Agents run on the Linux box, the canvas runs on yours.

Save a team. Drop it anywhere.

Arrangements keep the agents, their roles and the wires between them. Drop one on any canvas and it's ready to go.

Roles in plain Markdown
Sessions pick up where they left off
Backups in one file

Privacy

We never see your code. Here's everything we do see.

MAO runs on your computer. Every item below is a real screen in the app, so you can check it yourself.

Accounts

Sign-ins your agents can run as. MAO never stores a password.

Settings

Every change applies right away.

Keep workspaces alive

Switching away leaves this workspace's terminals and agents alive.

Automatic backups

One backup of the workspace you open, once a day, kept 14 days. Off until you turn it on.

No backup yet

Back up nowRestore from file…Show folder

Chat over ACP (beta)

Turning chat on hands the agent's session to its ACP server, and turning it off brings the terminal back on the same session. Off until you turn it on.

Notifications

Notify when a routine fires

A desktop notification each time a scheduled prompt is sent.

Allow agents to notify you

An Orchestrator agent may send you a short desktop message when you ask it to.

Notify when a layer needs you

When an agent marks a layer you are not looking at blocked or ready for review.

Diagnostics

Off unless you turn it on, and off again whenever you like.

Sends app starts, crashes, the kind of an error you were shown, the kind of node you created, and rage clicks. Each carries a random id made on this computer, or your account's id once you sign in. Never prompts, never terminal output, never note contents, never file paths or project names.

Automatic update check

Asks the licence server once each time MAO starts. Checking by hand works either way.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

Something else? Ask in the Discord or write to hello@miguer.com.

Yes. Every node runs its own CLI on its own login, so Claude Code, Codex, Gemini, Grok, OpenCode and Antigravity can share one canvas and hand each other work.

Stop copying between terminals. Let your agents do the talking.

Put every agent you use on one canvas and draw the wires. They hand off the work. You make the calls.
