A Mac app with a small background service that tracks your Projects and the coding agents working on them. It queues work, collects everything waiting on you into Needs you, and checks each run before you merge.

Claude Code and Codex natively, and about 22 more over ACP, a standard way for apps to talk to coding agents, OpenCode among them. Vakr uses the subscriptions you already have; it never sells tokens and never installs an agent for you.

No. Every run gets its own branch and worktree. Vakr never pushes to main, and it never writes to your agent config without asking and making a backup first.

Each run works in its own git worktree, a folder named .vakr-worktrees inside the repo, on its own branch. Vakr adds that folder name to the repo’s .git/info/exclude, so git ignores it. It never pushes, and it never changes main until you merge. Worktrees of ended runs are removed when you ask: in Agents, or with vakr worktrees clean, which only removes clean ones. The branches stay.

Runs use the Project’s permission mode, Auto by default, and the Project’s agent policy, which can block commands such as force-pushes. Halt all runs stops everything at once. Claude Code asks for anything the mode doesn’t allow, and the question waits in Needs you. Codex runs don’t ask for approval; they stay in their own worktree. A second agent you ask to try to break a change runs without asking, in a sealed copy of the repo.

Your sessions, code and Vakr’s database stay on your Mac, and Vakr sends nothing to me: no analytics, no account. Your agents send your code to their own company (Anthropic for Claude Code, OpenAI for Codex), as they do without Vakr. Vakr itself asks Claude Haiku, through your own Claude Code and on your plan, to check each finished run against what you asked and to keep each Project’s notes; both read your prompt and the change, and you can turn them off. Machines you pair talk to each other directly and encrypted. Anything else, like the built-in Tailscale, phone notifications or a second agent from another company, is off until you turn it on. The privacy page lists each one.

Yes. Turn on Your phone in Settings › Machines and open the page over Tailscale to answer questions and approve runs.

Nothing during early access, with everything unlocked. Pricing for after that is coming soon, and the waitlist hears about it first.

Terminals give you agents. Vakr gives you one list for everything they need from you, a view across every Project, and proof with each review: the tests you approved are untouched, what the agent said matches what it ran, and a second agent can be sent to try to break it.

macOS 15 or later on Apple silicon or Intel, and at least one coding agent installed and signed in. A Linux VPS can join as a Machine.

In the app, Settings › General › Remove Vakr from this Mac… uninstalls it. It stops the background helper, removes the login item and the vakr command, and keeps or deletes Vakr’s data, whichever you pick. A backup is made first.

By hand:

1. Quit Vakr.
2. Run launchctl bootout gui/$(id -u)/app.vakr.daemon.
3. Drag Vakr to the Trash.
4. Delete ~/Library/Application Support/Vakr if you don’t want its data.
5. Remove /usr/local/bin/vakr if you added the terminal command.

Your repos, branches and agents are not touched.
