Band Band

Getting Started

Band is an IDE-agnostic agent orchestrator that helps developers manage AI coding agents across multiple projects and workspaces. Whether you use VS Code, Cursor, Windsurf, or any other editor, Band provides a unified dashboard to dispatch tasks, monitor progress, and manage the git worktrees that keep your work organized.

Who is Band for?

Band is built for developers who work with AI coding agents and want a better way to manage them. If you find yourself juggling multiple agent sessions, switching between terminal windows to check on task progress, or manually creating git branches for each piece of work, Band is for you.

  • Solo developers running multiple agents in parallel across different features
  • Teams that want a shared view of what agents are working on
  • Anyone who wants to keep their main branch clean while agents work in isolated worktrees

What can you do with Band?

Band gives you four core capabilities:

  • Manage projects — Register your git repositories with Band so it can track them and create workspaces from them.
  • Create workspaces — Each workspace is a git worktree with its own branch, giving your agent an isolated environment to work in without affecting your main code.
  • Dispatch tasks — Send prompts to coding agents and have them execute in a specific workspace. You can submit tasks from the dashboard UI or the CLI.
  • Monitor agents — Watch task output in real time, see which agents are running, check whether tasks completed or failed, and re-run tasks if needed.

How it works

Band runs a local web server on your machine (port 3456 by default) that manages all state, git operations, and agent processes. You interact with it through either the dashboard UI (a desktop app with a web interface) or the Band CLI from your terminal.

The web interface is accessible from any browser, which means you can monitor your agents from your phone or another device on the same network.

Platform support

Band is currently available for macOS only (macOS 13 Ventura or later). The desktop app is a native Tauri application, and the CLI is a standalone binary that ships alongside it. Windows and Linux support is planned for a future release.
