What is paneflow?

paneflow is a cross-platform desktop app built with GPUI (the Rust UI framework behind Zed) for running multiple coding agents in parallel. It gives each agent its own pane so you can watch, compare and steer several agent sessions at once without juggling terminals.

Pros: what paneflow does well

  • Native, GPU-rendered UI via GPUI feels fast
  • Designed specifically for parallel agent sessions
  • GPL-3.0 open source

Cons: where it falls short

  • Early-stage with a small user base
  • Focused on agent workflows only

Who paneflow is for

Developers who run several coding agents at once and want a native console for them.

Who can skip it

Developers who run a single agent inside their editor.
