Start with the kind of work you want to do
These tools cover different parts of agent-assisted development. Warp, Wave Terminal and Terax focus on terminals; Orca and Superset manage parallel agents; T3 Code coordinates coding agents. Devin also offers a cloud software engineer, CLI and desktop app. Start with the workflow, then check platform, license and account requirements.
- Choose Lomi for an open-source desktop workspace for local projects, installed CLI agents, files, a browser preview and Git. Its managed Agents launcher supports macOS and Linux; on Windows, start a CLI from a regular terminal.
- Choose a terminal-first tool such as Warp, Wave Terminal or Terax if you want terminal features like AI assistance, SSH, an editor or previews. Check each product’s current docs for the features you need.
- Choose an agent workspace such as Orca or Superset to run agents in separate Git worktrees. T3 Code is an open-source control plane for coding agents.
- Compare Devin if you want a cloud engineer, CLI or desktop app alongside its agent.
Lomi does not include CLI accounts, model access or usage. Claude Code and Codex have their own sign-in and pricing.
What each product offers
| Product | Product type | Key features | Good fit for |
|---|---|---|---|

| T3 Code | Open-source control plane for coding agents | Agent coordination with your own agent subscriptions and its GitHub workflow. | You want to coordinate coding agents. |
| Superset | Agent workspace | Parallel coding agents in Git worktrees. Its docs identify the Elastic License 2.0. | You want a worktree-based multi-agent setup. |
| BridgeMind | Desktop environment for coding agents | Agent detection, panes, Code Mode and guided setup. | You want agent setup and management in a desktop app. |
Lomi and Terax use Apache 2.0. Warp’s client repository lists AGPL v3 for most code and MIT for its warpui crates. Wave Terminal and T3 Code also publish open-source code. Superset’s site says a new name is planned, so check its current product and license pages.
Choose by workflow
You already use Claude Code or Codex from a terminal
Start with Lomi’s Claude Code guide or Codex CLI guide. Lomi puts the project, terminal, browser preview and Git tools in one workspace. On macOS and Linux, its Agents launcher can detect and start supported CLIs. On Windows, start the CLI from a regular terminal and follow its platform instructions.
Lomi does not create or manage worktrees. To run agents in separate checkouts, create the worktrees with Git and open each in Lomi.
You want several agents working independently
Compare Orca and Superset’s worktree setup, supported agents, review steps, platform support and license. Their sites describe parallel agent workflows; Lomi leaves worktree setup to you.
See a local Claude Code and Codex workflow in Lomi using separate Git worktrees.
Your main goal is a more capable terminal
Compare shell behavior, command history, remote access, AI features, editors, previews and platform support. Warp documents terminal agents and third-party CLI setup; Wave highlights SSH and remote files; Terax includes an editor, Git and preview.
For a focused look at moving from Warp’s terminal-centric workflow, read Lomi as an open-source Warp alternative.
You are evaluating an autonomous agent product
Devin offers a cloud software engineer, Devin CLI and Devin Desktop. Check what runs locally or in the cloud, how you review work, what account or plan is required, and how repository access works.
Where Lomi fits
Lomi is a free desktop app under Apache 2.0. It brings local project files, an editor, terminal sessions, browser previews and Git tools together. Install and sign in to each CLI with its provider, then open your project in Lomi.
The managed Agents launcher supports macOS and Linux. On Windows, use a regular Lomi terminal and follow the CLI provider’s Windows or WSL instructions. Lomi does not include agent subscriptions, model access or API usage, and it does not create worktrees automatically.
Choose Lomi for a local workspace around the CLIs you already use. For a cloud engineer, remote-machine management, built-in terminal AI or coordinated agent fleets, compare those products’ current features and terms.
Read the Lomi feature and platform guide or download Lomi to evaluate it with your own project.
