# What is Agentastic?

> Agentastic is a native macOS code editor built for AI agentic workflows. Run multiple AI coding agents in parallel using git worktrees, without conflicts.

Agentastic is a native macOS code editor built specifically for AI agentic coding workflows. Written in Swift and SwiftUI, it gives you a lightweight environment where multiple AI coding agents can work simultaneously — each in its own isolated branch — without interfering with your work or each other.

## The problem with traditional IDEs

Traditional IDEs weren't designed with AI agents in mind. When you try to run multiple AI coding assistants in a standard editor, you quickly run into problems:

* **Conflicts** — Multiple agents editing the same files leads to chaos
* **Blocked workflow** — You can't work while an agent is making changes
* **No isolation** — One agent's mistakes affect everything in your project
* **Missing context** — Agents don't understand your project's branch structure

## How Agentastic solves it

Agentastic uses **agent isolation through git worktrees**. Every AI agent gets its own complete checkout of your repository on a separate branch. This means:

* **One branch per agent** — Each agent works in its own git worktree, a full copy of your repo
* **Zero conflicts** — Agents can't overwrite each other's work because they're on separate branches
* **Keep coding** — You stay productive in your main workspace while agents run in the background
* **Easy review** — Inspect exactly what each agent changed using the built-in diff viewer

## Architecture

Each agent branch lives alongside your main branch as an independent worktree. When an agent finishes, you review the diff and merge if you're satisfied.

```
Your Repository
    |
    |-- main branch (your workspace)
    |
    |-- feature-auth (Claude agent)
    |
    |-- feature-api (Codex agent)
    |
    |-- bugfix-login (Another Claude agent)
```

## Key features
