cadre.rocks
Summary
Running three coding agents at once across the same codebase means you either babysit each terminal window or accept that something ships you never reviewed — cadre.rocks is a kanban board built specifically to close that gap.
The tool wraps Claude Code, Codex, Grok, and OpenAI-compatible CLIs in a single workspace where tasks move through columns, agents run in parallel, and nothing merges until you approve the diff. Your existing CLI logins and API keys stay intact — cadre.rocks sits between you and the agents, not between your machine and the provider. That architecture means token requests go direct to OpenAI or Anthropic with no markup and no intermediary logging. The approval layer is the point: every agent output stops for your sign-off before it ships, which is exactly what breaks in raw terminal workflows at the third concurrent task.
Bottom line: Pick this when you are already running two or more coding CLIs and need one place to queue, route, review, and approve their outputs — but if you want a tool that plans and executes tasks without you in the loop, this is deliberately not that.

Pros
Sign in to edit- Parallel agent runs across multiple CLIs managed from one board, so you stop tracking which terminal is on which task and start seeing actual queue state at a glance.
- Approval gates on every plan and diff, which means nothing generated by an agent ships without your explicit sign-off — the failure mode that bites teams running raw CLI agents in background processes.
- Requests route direct from your machine to the provider with no intermediary, so token costs stay on your existing provider bill with no markup and no third-party access to your completions.
- CLI login reuse and BYOK both supported, so adding a new agent model to a column does not require a new account or a new billing relationship with cadre.rocks.
- Local-first with a self-hosted option, which means the board and task context stay on your machine — relevant for teams with IP or compliance constraints that rule out SaaS-hosted workflow tools.
Cons
Sign in to edit- cadre.rocks is a workflow and approval layer, not an agent — it does not plan tasks, break down requirements, or decide what to run next. Teams that want agents operating without constant human checkpoints will hit that wall on the first sprint and move to an autonomous agent framework instead.
- Linear and Jira sync are listed as in progress and not yet available. Teams whose entire backlog lives in one of those trackers have to manually move work onto the board until sync ships, which adds overhead that defeats part of the tool's value for larger teams.
- The agent roster is limited to CLIs cadre.rocks detects on the local machine. Teams running agents through cloud-hosted CI pipelines or custom inference endpoints outside the supported CLI list have no integration path described in the current docs.
- The paid orchestration layer gates team-scale and cross-device features. A solo developer on the free local tier who needs a second team member to review diffs or share board state hits that paywall before the workflow is actually collaborative.

The terminal juggling problem
Running three coding agents at once across the same codebase means you either babysit each terminal window or accept that something ships you never reviewed. cadre.rocks places Claude Code, Codex, Grok, and OpenAI-compatible CLIs on one local Kanban board so tasks move through columns while agents run in parallel.
How it works
Nothing merges until you approve the diff. Your existing CLI logins and API keys stay intact; the tool sits between you and the agents, not between your machine and the provider. Token requests go direct to OpenAI or Anthropic with no markup. The vendor states free local boards are available under a subscription model.
Use cases listed by the vendor
Parallel execution of coding tasks across multiple agents, review and approval of agent-generated plans and code changes, and syncing tasks with external issue trackers (Linear and Jira sync listed as in progress).
Who it is for and who should skip it
Best for developers already using multiple coding CLIs who want explicit control over agent outputs and local-first workflows. It supports Windows, macOS, and Linux. Skip it if you need agents that plan and run without constant human checkpoints, or if your backlog lives entirely in Linear or Jira today, since those syncs are not yet available.
