Conductor Alternative for Windows and Linux: Foxpit

Conductor's site describes it as a desktop app for running parallel coding agents on your Mac. If your machine runs Windows or Linux, Foxpit is the desktop equivalent: rooms, real agent terminals, worktrees and one shared project memory.

Conductor in short

Conductor is a desktop app whose site sums it up as "Run parallel coding agents on your Mac" and "Create parallel Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor agents in isolated workspaces". Each task gets its own workspace with a branch, files, a terminal, a diff and a review path, and Conductor helps you review the diff, open a pull request, merge and archive the workspace. The docs also list OpenCode among the supported agents.

The site describes it as a Mac app, with cloud workspaces and a mobile app on the Pro plan. Pricing is Free at $0 with your own subscriptions and keys, Pro at $50/mo, Teams at $60/mo/user and Enterprise as custom. The product is closed source and the home page points at version 0.91.0. Sources: conductor.build, conductor.build/docs, conductor.build/pricing.

One thing worth being precise about: the pages we checked do not say whether Conductor uses git worktrees. They say "isolated workspaces" and "each task gets its own workspace, branch, files, terminal, diff, and review path", and that is what this page compares against.

Foxpit vs Conductor at a glance

When Conductor is the better choice

• You work on a Mac and want a Mac-first tool. Conductor was built around that platform, and its diff-to-pull-request flow is described as one continuous path.
• You want hosted workspaces and a phone. The Pro plan adds cloud workspaces and a mobile app, which a local-only desktop app does not offer.
• You prefer a turnkey review flow. Its docs describe reviewing the diff, opening a pull request, merging and archiving the workspace as one sequence, so less of that is left to you.
• You need a team plan. Conductor lists Teams at $60/mo/user and a custom Enterprise tier.

When Foxpit fits better

If your daily machine is Windows or Linux, the deciding factor is usually not a feature list but whether the app runs at all. Foxpit is a desktop app for Windows 10/11, macOS on Apple Silicon and Linux (AppImage), and Node.js is not required.

• One memory, not per-task context. Every agent in a project reads the same project memory, so a new session already knows yesterday's decisions, files and open threads.
• Several projects at once. Each project is a room in a 3D office; rooms in the background keep working, and you click one to fly in.
• Limits and approvals handled. When Claude Code hits its 5-hour limit, Fox parks the turn, shows the reset and sends "continue" by itself; permission requests arrive as desktop notifications.

Moving from Conductor to Foxpit

1. Download Foxpit for Windows, macOS or Linux from Getting Started and connect the agents you already use. Your Claude Code, Codex or OpenCode CLIs and subscriptions stay as they are.
2. Add the repository as a room. Point Foxpit at the project folder; the room becomes that project's team and memory.
3. Open a worktree per agent. Turn on per-agent Git worktrees so parallel agents do not overwrite each other, and check out the branches Conductor created for your tasks if you want to continue that work.
4. Write the plan once. Describe the goal and let Fox split it into task cards, then assign the cards to teammates instead of starting each workspace by hand.
