About Pane
Pane, from RunPane, is an open source desktop agent manager for running several AI coding agents in parallel. It is keyboard first and works with Claude Code, Codex, Aider, Goose, Cursor's agent and any other terminal based coding CLI, with no plugin or SDK required. The vendor, Dcouple Inc, describes the project as formerly Dcouple Pane and now RunPane by Greenfield.
Each task gets its own git worktree, meaning its own branch in a separate folder, so agents working at the same time do not overwrite each other. Users can split panes into terminals and browsers, review diffs as agents work, run setup and run scripts defined in a pane.json file, and adopt existing worktrees. A runpane command line interface and an API let agents themselves start panes, read output and send input. A Remote Pane feature lets users manage agents from a phone, and the app runs on Windows, WSL, macOS, Linux, virtual machines and remote hosts. It is local first, and opening a pane does not upload code.
Pane is licensed under AGPL 3.0 and the desktop app is free, with no subscription, seat fee or usage cap. Users pay their own AI providers for the API keys used by the agents they run. The vendor says it plans to charge separately for optional services such as managed cloud worktrees and team collaboration features.
