Really interesting take on multi-agent workflows. As more teams rely on multiple AI agents in parallel, orchestration and approval become the real bottleneck—not the models themselves. Axel’s task-first approach with isolated worktrees and a clean macOS-native UX feels like a very practical solution. Curious to see how this scales with more complex dependencies between agents. Nice launch 🚀

Whoa, Axel looks incredible! Todoist for AI agents is such a smart idea. Im especially curious how the agent dispatching works with different coding languages. Can it prioritize tasks based on agent specialty?

Hey! I like this idea. Just wanted to mention that I can't grab the app on my work laptop as the SSL for the site is broken and marked as dangerous. Thought I'd raise it in case it's impacting others too.

Interesting project. Are there any overload management features? Like when the queue can’t handle the current volume, and you can send messages about delays or something like that?

Approval gates matter for safe agent actions.
We route tasks to different models via GTWY.
Parallel steps stay isolated, fewer collisions.

This is exactly what AI-powered development needs! 🚀

Managing multiple AI agents and their tasks gets chaotic fast. Having a Todoist-style interface to queue work, dispatch to the right agent, and approve/deny actions is genius.

I'm building LaunchStack (Next.js + Flask boilerplate) and using Claude Code daily. This would be a game-changer for my workflow.

Question: Can it integrate with different AI coding tools, or is it primarily for Claude/Codex/OpenCode?

Upvoted and following! Open-source is the way 💪

This is actually huge, I've been using the vscode commit message as my todo list for agents right now and it's messy aha. Is there a way that you can have a title and an expanded prompt for a todo item? just the quick note is quite small as a prompt

It gives a clear picture of what's going on, I love that you support different agents.

a lot more agents are coming very soon.

Using git worktrees for agent isolation is genius - makes spawning agents "as cheap as opening a tab."

How do you handle the merge back to main when two agents touch related files? Does OpenTelemetry help detect potential conflicts before merge?

Love the Things-inspired UI approach!

Keyboard-driven and native for macOS? That’s exactly what developers need. As someone building tracking tools, I'd love to know if Axel can handle task dependencies when multiple agents are working on the same repo.

Seems interesting. What is a typical workflow with Axel? Would I be creating multiple tasks which are then spread over multiple agents? Or is it more a 1:1 workflow where I'm "baby sitting" an agent?

been running Claude Code and Cursor side by side for months, biggest pain is when they both want to touch the same file. the worktree approach is smart - does each agent get its own isolated git state or do they somehow sync changes back? also curious how you're handling permissions, like can agents accidentally blow away each others work or is there some kind of conflict detection built in?

One of the hurdles I have is waiting for the task to finish to start next or work on two different projects. This seems to solve that. Good work.
