Vicoa is a fast-changing, very new multi-client orchestrator with broad agent and device coverage, but its development is concentrated in one contributor.
Good fit if
- You already use supported agent CLIs and want to manage parallel sessions and worktrees from a shared interface.
- Mobile access, remote machines, or both are important to your coding-agent workflow.
- You want to self-host the service and can operate its Docker Compose and PostgreSQL stack.
Look elsewhere if
- You need a mature project with a broader contributor base; the project is new and its contributions are concentrated in one person.
- You want a turnkey agent or model provider, since Vicoa launches agents you install and authenticate and expects you to bring your own credentials.
- Your deployment cannot accommodate the self-hosted backend requirements or the AGPL-3.0 license.

Overview
Vicoa is an open-source AI orchestrator for running a team of coding agents from desktop, mobile, or remote machines. Built around a local Python daemon and a Python/FastAPI backend, it launches coding agent CLIs you have installed and authenticated, including Claude Code, Codex, and OpenCode. Web and desktop clients use Next.js, while the iOS and Android apps use Flutter.
It addresses the coordination problem of managing multiple agent sessions across projects and devices. Sessions can run in parallel on separate Git worktrees, with status, conversation, and code changes available from a shared interface. Vicoa is BYO-key: it uses your existing agent credentials rather than providing its own model access.
Key Features
- Run multiple coding agents side by side, including built-in integrations and additional agents through ACP.
- Isolate concurrent work with a separate Git worktree and branch for each agent.
- Start agents on a local machine, VPS, or remote server and monitor sessions from another device.
- Review per-file diffs and commit history, and browse project files alongside agent conversations.
- Use native iOS and Android apps to continue sessions and receive notifications.
- Manage tasks and scheduled automations through the interface or CLI.
- Self-host the backend and supporting services with Docker Compose and PostgreSQL.
Use Cases
- A developer wants several agents to work on separate tasks in one repository without sharing a working tree.
- A developer wants to start agents at a workstation and check their progress or respond to requests from a phone.
- A team using different coding agent CLIs wants a common place to launch and monitor sessions.
- A self-hosting user wants to run the orchestration backend on their own infrastructure while agents run beside their code.

Getting Started
Install a supported agent CLI and sign in, then install the Vicoa CLI:
npm i -g @vicoa/cli
vicoa
The CLI requires Node.js 18 or newer. For Intel Macs or older glibc systems, the README gives a pip install vicoa alternative. See the README for desktop downloads, setup instructions, supported agents, and self-hosting details.
Alternatives
- multica: Multica centers on assigning issues and tracking agent progress and review, while Vicoa focuses on orchestrating agent teams across clients and machines.
- codeg: Codeg coordinates agents through the Agent Client Protocol, while Vicoa connects agent CLIs through its backend and local daemon.
- omnigent: Omnigent emphasizes policies and sandboxing across agent runtimes, while Vicoa provides web, desktop, and Flutter clients for managing agents.
- claude-code-by-agents: Claude Code by Agents is a native macOS app using OpenAgents workspaces, while Vicoa also offers web and mobile clients with a Python backend.

Considerations
The project is marked new and changing fast. Recent activity includes frequent commits and releases, but the measured contributor base is a single person, so maintenance continuity is a consideration. Recent pull requests were merged quickly, while the measured issue-closure data is limited and does not establish a typical resolution time. CI is present, but the repository metadata does not report tests. Running agents also depends on having at least one supported CLI installed and authenticated on the machine where they run. Self-hosting requires Docker Compose and PostgreSQL; the repository is licensed under AGPL-3.0, so review its terms for your intended deployment.
