What is Canopy desktop app?

Canopy's an Electron/Svelte app that creates isolated terminals, agent sessions, and browser tabs per git worktree — perfect for running multiple AI coding agents like Claude without tab chaos.

How does Canopy manage AI coding agents?

Spawns agents as child processes, pipes stdout/stdin, tracks tokens/context visually, and lets you comment on diffs directly — all secure, no proxying.

Is Canopy free and open source?

Yes, fully free, no account needed. GitHub repo open for bugs; binaries on https://canopy.itsol.tech.
