diriHonest notes on how diri differs from other tools for running coding agents, and when the other tool is the better fit. Each page lists the sources it was checked against and the date.
diri vs cmux
cmux is a free, scriptable Ghostty-based Mac terminal for agents; diri adds agent status, worktrees, review and agent-to-agent tasks, with sessions that outlive the app.
diri vs Conductor
Conductor runs four agents behind a Mac chat interface with a PR flow and paid cloud workspaces; diri runs 20 agent CLIs as real terminals, free and open source.
diri vs herdr
herdr is a cross-platform terminal multiplexer for agents with a socket API; diri is a native GUI with review, notes and MCP tasks, and sessions that survive Engine restarts.
diri vs Superset
Both run many terminal agents in parallel; Superset adds an in-app browser, a hosted MCP and paid remote access, while diri is native, Apache-2.0 and uses plain SSH.
