synara: Manage Coding Agents in a Desktop Workspace

Overview

Synara is a desktop workspace for developers using coding agents. It brings project context, task-specific conversations, locally authenticated provider sessions, and tools for executing and reviewing changes into one application.

It is most useful when agent work spans multiple projects or providers and you want to keep terminals, previews, diffs, and Git actions close to the conversation. Synara connects to runtimes installed on your machine rather than replacing their authentication or subscriptions.

Key Features

• Organizes work into projects and threads with task history, notes, and status.
• Connects to locally installed coding-agent runtimes, including Codex, Claude Code, Cursor, OpenCode, and others listed in the README.
• Provides integrated terminals, file browsing and editing, browser previews, and change review.
• Supports Git workflows, including branches, commits, pushes, and pull requests.
• Uses managed worktrees to isolate parallel work and supports handing tasks between providers.
• Includes recurring automations and scoped external MCP integrations.
• Offers split views and appearance settings for tailoring the workspace.

Use Cases

• A developer coordinating agent-assisted work across several repositories can keep each project and its task history organized.
• A team member reviewing an agent's changes can inspect diffs, run commands, and check a local preview alongside the conversation.
• A developer comparing or switching coding-agent providers can use their locally configured runtimes within a shared workspace.
• Someone running parallel tasks can use managed worktrees to reduce the chance that threads modify the same checkout unintentionally.

Getting Started

Download a desktop build from the GitHub Releases page, or run from source:

git clone https://github.com/Emanuele-web04/synara.git
cd synara
bun install
bun run dev

See the README for provider setup, development requirements, and further details.

Alternatives

• Coven: Coven manages durable, project-scoped agent sessions across coding harnesses, while Synara centers on a desktop workspace with files, terminals, previews, and Git review.
• Orkas: Orkas coordinates specialist agents through a Commander LLM, while Synara provides a workspace for running and reviewing local coding-agent sessions.

Considerations

• The README describes Synara as early-stage software, with APIs and interface details still under active development.
• Provider runtimes must be installed and authenticated locally before sessions can use them. Synara relies on those providers' existing installations and subscriptions.
• The README specifies Bun 1.4.2 and Node.js 24.13.1 for development from source.
• Native desktop release targets listed in the README are Windows x64, macOS Intel, macOS Apple Silicon, and Linux x64.
