What is paneflow?

paneflow is a cross-platform desktop app built with GPUI (the Rust UI framework behind Zed) for running multiple coding agents in parallel. It gives each agent its own pane so you can watch, compare and steer several agent sessions at once without juggling terminals.

Pros

  • Native, GPU-rendered UI via GPUI feels fast
  • Designed specifically for parallel agent sessions
  • GPL-3.0 open source

Cons

  • Early-stage with a small user base
  • Focused on agent workflows only

Who should use paneflow

Developers who run several coding agents at once and want a native console for them.

Who may not need it

Developers who run a single agent inside their editor.
