Argus

An agentic IDE for mobile and web development.

Orchestrate a flock of Claude Code agents in parallel — each in its own isolated git worktree — with live iOS simulators, Android emulators, an embedded Chromium browser, and a full VS Code editor, all in one desktop app. One developer. A hundred hands. A hundred eyes.

Highlights

Parallel by default

Every session is an isolated worktree with its own agent, simulator, and terminals. Fan out five ideas at once — none of them step on each other.

See what the agent sees

Live iOS simulator and Android emulator mirroring, an embedded Chromium browser with CDP screencast, and streaming tool-call cards in real time.

Review like a human

A full git workflow — branches, commits, stashes, hunk-level staging, diff viewer — baked into the UI. Accept, reject, or refine without leaving the app.

Edit like an engineer

A real embedded VS Code via @codingame/monaco-vscode-api. Extensions, search, intellisense, multi-file edits. Not a chat box pretending to be an IDE.

Orchestration tree

Visualise agent-spawned subagents and their tool calls as a live hierarchy. Swap models per-agent on the fly. Resume long-running conversations from persisted history.

Granular permissions

Approve, deny, or 'always allow' specific tool patterns through a permission broker without ever stopping the agent mid-flight.

Changelog
  1. v0.41.0

    Highlights

    • You can now switch a session's runner from the model picker until the first message is sent — in the start-agent dialog and in a fresh chat. The picker also lists the runner's own models instead of Claude's.

    Fixes

    • Signing in to MCP servers that only accept known clients — Figma among them — now works instead of failing with a registration error.
  2. v0.40.2

    Fixes

    • Messages queued from the phone or web client now continue automatically when the agent's turn ends, even if that chat isn't open on the desktop.
  3. v0.40.1

    Fixes

    • On the phone, the chat input now sits exactly on top of the keyboard and the newest message stays visible when the keyboard opens.
    • Your phone and browsers stay quiet while you're working in a focused Argus window — notifications only reach them once you've stepped away. Turn on "Notify my devices while I'm using Argus" in Settings → Remote access to get them regardless.
