https://brainplane.app/guides/ Guides and comparisons for people who run Claude Code, Codex and Grok together. en Fri, 09 Oct 2026 08:00:00 GMT https://brainplane.app/guides/agent-inbox/ https://brainplane.app/guides/agent-inbox/ Fri, 09 Oct 2026 08:00:00 GMT An agent inbox collects the questions your AI agents ask into 1 list, so you answer them in 1 place instead of watching every terminal. brainplane's Inbox shows 1 card per topic, answers repeat questions with your saved decisions, and sends you only what still needs you. https://brainplane.app/guides/approve-agents-from-iphone/ https://brainplane.app/guides/approve-agents-from-iphone/ Fri, 09 Oct 2026 08:00:00 GMT To answer your coding agents away from your desk, pair your phone with the Mac where they run and get an alert when they need you. With brainplane you open app.brainplane.app in Safari, scan a code from your Mac, and answer cards with a 1 second hold and 5 seconds to cancel, end-to-end encrypted. https://brainplane.app/guides/claude-code-and-codex-together/ https://brainplane.app/guides/claude-code-and-codex-together/ Fri, 09 Oct 2026 08:00:00 GMT You can run Claude Code and Codex on the same project. The simplest setup gives both the same written context, lets 1 agent write and the other review, and checks the result before you read it. brainplane does this on your Mac with your own plans. https://brainplane.app/compare/claude-squad/ https://brainplane.app/compare/claude-squad/ Fri, 09 Oct 2026 08:00:00 GMT Claude Squad is a free, open source terminal app that runs several Claude Code, Codex, Gemini or Aider sessions in tmux, each in its own git workspace. brainplane is a paid Mac app that shares context between agents, checks handoffs and gathers their questions in 1 Inbox. If you only need parallel sessions in a terminal, Claude Squad is enough. https://brainplane.app/compare/conductor/ https://brainplane.app/compare/conductor/ Fri, 09 Oct 2026 08:00:00 GMT Conductor runs parallel Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and OpenCode agents in isolated workspaces on your Mac, then lets you review and combine their changes. brainplane works on what the agents know and when they need you: 1 shared brain per topic, checked handoffs between agents and 1 Inbox. They solve different parts of the job, and you can use both. https://brainplane.app/guides/handoff-between-agents/ https://brainplane.app/guides/handoff-between-agents/ Fri, 09 Oct 2026 08:00:00 GMT A good handoff between agents has 4 parts: a goal, the context the next agent needs, a time budget and acceptance checks that run before you see the result. brainplane calls this a checked handoff and runs it between Claude Code, Codex and Grok on your Mac. https://brainplane.app/compare/herdr/ https://brainplane.app/compare/herdr/ Fri, 09 Oct 2026 08:00:00 GMT herdr is a free, open source runtime that keeps your coding agents' terminals alive, marks each pane working, blocked or idle, and lets agents drive each other. brainplane works with herdr and adds 1 shared brain per topic, checked handoffs and 1 Inbox. herdr owns the terminals; brainplane owns the context and the questions. https://brainplane.app/guides/is-it-safe-to-let-agents-run-on-my-mac/ https://brainplane.app/guides/is-it-safe-to-let-agents-run-on-my-mac/ Fri, 09 Oct 2026 08:00:00 GMT Agents like Claude Code and Codex can edit files and run commands with the permissions you give them. You stay safe with 3 habits: keep risky actions behind a human step, keep a record of every change, and keep secrets out of what agents read. brainplane adds stop cards, holds, receipts and a secret guard, and never sends, pays, deletes or deploys on its own. https://brainplane.app/guides/run-multiple-coding-agents-on-mac/ https://brainplane.app/guides/run-multiple-coding-agents-on-mac/ Fri, 09 Oct 2026 08:00:00 GMT To run several Claude Code, Codex or Grok sessions on 1 Mac, give each its own working copy, keep 1 shared record of decisions, and gather their questions in 1 place. Terminal tools such as tmux and herdr keep the sessions running; brainplane adds the shared brain, file claims and 1 Inbox. https://brainplane.app/guides/shared-memory-for-coding-agents/ https://brainplane.app/guides/shared-memory-for-coding-agents/ Fri, 09 Oct 2026 08:00:00 GMT To give several coding agents the same memory, keep the state of each piece of work in 1 place and let every agent read and update it through MCP. brainplane keeps 1 shared brain per topic on your Mac and serves it to Claude Code, Codex and Grok with 10 MCP tools.
