About Starkomand
Starkomand is a macOS app for orchestrating AI coding agents. It runs the agent command-line tools you already have installed, such as Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI, Copilot, OpenCode and Aider, signed in as you, and it never resells tokens or asks for a key. Agents appear as windows on an infinite canvas, one workspace per project, each keeping its own crew, layout and backdrop.
The workflow has four steps: drop a GitHub issue onto an agent, ask an agent to draw an editable diagram of the system, hand work to a fresh agent with a focused brief, and review the result in a browser preview window beside the terminal. Holding the Option key lets you speak commands to a named agent. Extras include a pull request board, usage rings per provider, a limit handoff that continues work in another agent when one runs out, and review loops. It runs on Apple silicon, has no account, and keeps its local server on loopback only.
