The AI Architect for your codebase
A cross-platform desktop app for orchestrating AI coding agents.
Wraps CLI-based agents with a task-driven workflow: Kanban board, git worktree isolation, multi-pane terminal sessions, GitHub integration, skills & rules management, and queue mode.
Download the latest release for your platform from the Releases page.
| Platform | Format |
|---|---|
| Windows | .exe installer (NSIS) or portable .exe |
| macOS | Universal .dmg (ARM + Intel) |
| Linux | .deb, .rpm, .AppImage |
macOS users: If macOS says the application is damaged, run:
xattr -d com.apple.quarantine /Applications/Faber.app
- Task-driven workflow — Kanban board with task specs, priorities, labels, dependencies, and full lifecycle management (Backlog → Ready → In Progress → In Review → Done)
- Multi-agent support — Claude Code, Codex CLI, Copilot CLI, Cursor Agent, Gemini CLI, and OpenCode — all auto-detected from your PATH
- Git worktree isolation — each task runs in its own worktree and branch, so multiple agents can work in parallel without conflicts
- Multi-pane session grid — run multiple agent sessions side-by-side with drag-and-drop layout and resizable panes
- Four session modes — Task (structured implementation), Research (explore & plan), Vibe (freeform coding), Shell (raw terminal)
- Queue mode — auto-launch a queue of ready tasks with independent or chained branching strategies
- Prompt templates & quick actions — configurable prompt templates with
{{variable}}interpolation for all session types, plus one-click Quick Action buttons on session panes - Skills & rules — install and manage agent skills and project rules to extend agent capabilities
- GitHub integration — issue import, PR creation, commit graph visualization, and label sync
- Review workflow — diff viewer with file list, change summary, and PR creation dialog
- MCP server — embedded Model Context Protocol server for real-time agent-to-app progress reporting
- Command palette — quick actions via Ctrl/Cmd+K
- Theming — Dark/Light × Glass/Flat (4 themes)
- Auto-updates — in-app update notifications with one-click install
- OS notifications — alerts on agent completion, errors, and waiting states (click to navigate)
