VS Code, Cursor, Windsurf, open files, write code. Same paradigm. Coddo is different. Built around tasks. Define what needs done. Coddo spins up a Git branch, delegates to AI, tracks progress. You stay at the task level. Always. π Task-first Kanban β every card is a unit of work π§ Skills β your conventions, applied everywhere πΏ Auto Git branches β clean, isolated, automatic Not a better IDE. A different way to build software. Free. macOS only for now.
I built this because I was drowning in Claude Code tasks with no visual structure. Branches everywhere, context lost between sessions, no idea what was actually running. I wasn't coding faster, I was just managing mess faster.
So I built a task-first dev environment. Not a better IDE. A different paradigm entirely, your Kanban board is the interface, the code is just the output.
I've been using Coddo to build Coddo itself for the past few months. That was the real test.
The app is free to download on macOS.
Curious: what's the first thing you'd delegate to Claude Code if your whole workflow was organized around tasks?
You can now run up to 5 tasks simultaneously, each in its own Git branch via worktree, fully isolated.
While Claude refactors your backend, it can write your tests, fix bugs, and document your API. At the same time.
This is what real delegation looks like.
Available now in v1.1.0
The skills concept is the most interesting part to me. Managing AI agents across a team means everyone ends up with slightly different prompting patterns and code conventions drift fast. If skills can encode team standards and actually get applied consistently, that's a much bigger deal than the kanban UI. Does the skills layer work per-project or is it shared across the team?
Congrats on the launch! This is so real. I always think of new tasks while working with AI agents and just forget them by the time I'm done reviewing. Love having the Kanban right there for that.
I've been using Cursor daily and still find myself context-switching between "what am I building" and "which file am I in." congrats on your launch!
the "skills" concept caught my attention. we work on a lot of healthcare integrations where conventions matter (FHIR naming, security patterns, etc). if this can actually learn and apply team conventions automatically, that's huge. most AI tools ignore the stylistic consistency that makes codebases maintainable. what kinds of conventions have you tested it with?
Congratulations on the launch! Do you have plans to release a Windows/Linux version in the near future?
Looks refreshing!
I love the Kanban first opinion. Iβm A bit skeptical about the homemade chat interface instead of the terminal. With the Claude code release pace, nobody can follow to add the same feature levels.
But congrats for the launch ππΎ
