Munder Difflin

Munder Difflin is a desktop app that runs terminal coding agents as a coordinated team on one machine, using the subscriptions and hourly limits each CLI already has. Each agent is a real CLI process in its own pseudo-terminal: Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, Antigravity, Grok, Kimi Code, Qwen, OpenCode, Crush, Pi, GitHub Copilot CLI, Cursor, or any custom command. Per-provider API keys and local models through Ollama, LM Studio, or vLLM are also supported.

The user briefs one orchestrator agent, Michael, which acts as their clone. It reads every request, assigns and routes work, resolves routine items itself, and escalates only spend, destructive operations, and scope changes to an approvals queue. Agents coordinate through a shared hive kept in a local git repository of plain files: per-agent memory, file-based mailboxes, a shared blackboard, and an append-only event log. Agents write to their own outbox, a router delivers messages to inboxes, and only the harness commits to git, which avoids lock conflicts. Each agent's Markdown memory is mined into a shared, searchable semantic index that persists across sessions.

Agents appear as avatars on an animated office floor that walk to stations as they work and pass envelopes when they message each other. Clicking a desk opens that agent's live terminal for reading and typing. A command center adds kanban tasks with dependencies and ticket keys, scheduled missions, a skills browser, cost reporting, and a built-in code editor with git history, diffs, and branch comparison. A circuit breaker steers, constrains, and then stops agents that loop, repeat errors, or exceed their token budget.

Work arrives from the app, by voice, from Slack, or through inbound webhooks, and Michael can spawn a short-lived worker for a Slack thread. The app also includes local dictation into any application, with a bundled Whisper model as the default engine, and a Pro feature, the Stapler, that transcribes both sides of a meeting and sends the transcript to an agent.
