paultannenbaum | on: Conductor is joining Meta
Heavy conductor user here. Does the hacker news community have any suggestions for replacements?

I will always recommend T3 Code, it is by far the best one I have tried that isn't glued to a specific model provider. Trades blows with Codex / Claude Desktop in terms of features. All of the other multi-provider orchestrators have not been keeping up with Claude Desktop in particular adding features at lightning-speed, but T3 Code somehow manages.

(I am building my own tool in this area and I literally downloaded and tried all of them as market research)

Wait, there's something called Claude Desktop that's actually useful for non-non-technical people?

I second this. T3 code especially for remote machine workflows is unmatched.

https://orca.dev I think it's probably the easiest switch (Conductor imports).

I work on Orca and we're shipping frequently.

Let us know if you have feedback! (MIT OSS)

I switched from conductor to orca because conductor didn’t support mobile app working with local instances and didn’t have a good cli/mcp at the time.

Very happy I switched. I’m extremely productive on mobile. It defiiitely feels power usery but i am one so it works great.

My only gripe is sometimes it loses connections to workspaces in a way that is hard to recover BUT the meta conductor living on top can resolve it for me. Kudos for having it.

If you make a GH issues for your connection problem we can also probably get to the bottom of it!

appImage is not a great packaging format for Linux. Any chance you could ship a flatpak instead? You'd likely need to host your own flatpak remote, but it's not rocket surgery.

Thank you for your consideration and for your work.

It is far, far easier to convert an AppImage into a Flatpak (or any other packaging form) than vice versa.

If a dev is only going to choose one, I'd much rather they ship an AppImage.

there are so many and I'm sure something has changed since I last checked but:

- paseo: open, mobile app is a first class citizen, i've been happy with it

- orca: vc backed, featureful (built in ios sim, for example)

- herdr: vc backed, terminal native, im sure there are more features since i last checked it

- t3: open, never used it but folks seem to like it

I moved to Paseo. Open source and let's you drive from your phone.

I'm one of the founders of https://podium.do. We created Podium because none of the other ADEs worked like what we wanted. I think it could be interesting for you to checkout as an alternative because there are similarities to Conductor, plus a few interesting additional features. We are pretty strong for complex tasks because we put an agent native issue tracker at the core of architecture which turned out as a super power in that case.

Does Podium support Gemini?

Free 3 month sub to any current Conductor user. We promise to never sell to Facebook, X or other weirdo billionaires. I started this company to get away from working at big tech and not to sell to it. Up to 10 cloud workspaces per person, works with all the things you need. https://hive.codes/signup

I use Paradev (https://paradev.com - previously Superset) and it's great. They posted a migration guide today https://docs.paradev.com/migrate-from-conductor

https://ampcode.com/ is amazing! Surprised the community here does not discuss it more.

Could be a Laravel and PHP X bubble thing, former JS/TS only devs mostly seem to promote T3.

Give my dreamcoder.ai harness a whirl. Runs in your browser on all 3 platforms. Tiling window manager; generous use of keyboard shortcuts, so it's not just for mouse users.

highly recommend https://www.scape.work - it's unlimited agents in parallel, and unlimited orchestrators in parallel.

Check Beolis (https://beolis.com).

Disclaimer: I'm developing it.

Agentastic is great for mac users. I'm hoping the project gets a boost with this acquistion.
hoakiet98 | parent | next
I'm obviously biased but Paradev, it imports your Conductor worktrees as is https://paradev.com
