Zentty vs Supacode
A coding-agent command center, and a terminal with agent attention.
Overview
Supacode and Zentty both use libghostty and both assume you bring your own CLI agents. Supacode is much more orchestration-heavy: it is built around many agents, git worktree isolation, and GitHub workflows. Zentty is the smaller layer around the terminal: panes, worklanes, and attention state.
What each tool is
Zentty is a native macOS terminal, written in Swift and AppKit and built on libghostty. It runs your agents in real shells across worklanes and surfaces the moment an agent needs you: running, idle, needs input, needs approval, done. No telemetry. No editor, file tree, git diff UI, or cloud runtime. It stays a terminal.
Supacode is an open-source native macOS app for running many coding agents in parallel. It supports Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, and other CLI agents, and gives each agent its own git worktree.
Who each tool is best for
Zentty is best for Mac developers who run CLI agents like Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, or OpenCode in parallel and want to stay in flow while those agents work in other panes and worklanes.
Supacode is best for Mac developers who want to run many agents in parallel with worktree isolation and GitHub-oriented review/PR workflows.
Capability comparison
| Dimension | Zentty | Supacode |
|---|---|---|
| Primary purpose | Native Mac terminal with worklanes and agent attention | Command center for parallel coding agents |
| Isolation model | Your real shells and directories | One git worktree per agent |
| Agent scale | Several visible panes and worklanes | Designed for dozens of agents |
| GitHub workflow | No built-in PR flow | Built-in PR, CI, and conflict workflows |
| Agent attention | Running / idle / needs input / needs approval / done | Varies by tool |
| Built-in editor | No — keep your editor | Varies by tool |
| Cloud runtime | No — local only | Varies by tool |
| Platform | macOS only | macOS beta |
How to choose
- You want your agents in normal panes without mandatory worktree isolation.
- You want a calmer terminal layer instead of a command center.
- You already handle branches, PRs, and CI outside the terminal.
- You want many agents running in isolated worktrees.
- You want GitHub workflows close to the agent sessions.
- You want an open-source command center focused on agent fan-out.
Common questions
Supacode includes Ghostty-backed terminals, but its main point is agent orchestration across worktrees.
Zentty can open shells in worktrees you create, but it does not create one worktree per agent or manage PRs.
