Free, no account.<br>Free .dmg · v1.4.67 · macOS 14+<br>It all stays on your Mac.<br>Your repos, terminal history, and code never leave the machine, and your agents run on the AI subscription you already pay for.

They stay out of each other’s way.<br>Give each agent its own git branch, so no run clobbers another’s working tree, and watch them all on one board.

Your keys stay yours.<br>Agents use your secrets without the plaintext ever entering their context. A seatbelt, not a guarantee.

Workspace Features & Pro Upgrades<br>Many agents. One board.<br>These run your agents like a team. Notebooks and your Vault are free on any account; Pro syncs the Collab board across every Mac you run and adds Fork Lab to drive it from the web or your phone. You stay the lead.

01 · CollabsFree AccountPro Sync<br>One goal. One Collab Thread.<br>Assemble a Collab Thread of agents around one goal and they run it as one: break it into a live task backlog, claim work as they go, and hand off cleanly. No two ever touch the same task; nothing falls through. You're the lead: see who's on what and jump in to unblock anyone. Free on a single Mac; Pro syncs the same board across every machine you run.<br>One goal, split into a live task backlog<br>Agents claim and hand off, no two on the same task<br>See who's on what: the whole board at a glance<br>Stays in sync across every machine you run

You choose which notes each thread can see, and they carry across every session, device, and machine.<br>Write it once, hand it to any agent that needs it<br>Filed by notebook; grant a note or a whole notebook to a thread<br>You choose what each thread sees: read or read-write<br>Private to your account, synced across every session and Mac
