Plexus,
Honest comparisons with the tools you might use instead, or alongside. Every claim about another tool links to its own documentation, with the date we last checked it.
- vsClaude CodeRunning Claude Code by hand in tmux or terminal tabs, or in Anthropic's Desktop app, compared with Plexus, which runs the same claude CLI on your login.
- vsClaude Squad and NimbalystClaude Squad is a tmux terminal UI over worktrees; Nimbalyst, Crystal's successor, is a visual workspace for coding agents. How both compare with Plexus.
- vsConductorPlexus and Conductor both run coding agents in parallel git worktrees. How they differ on platforms, the claude binary, review, hooks, git hosts and cloud.
- vsCursorPlexus runs the Claude Code CLI; Cursor, Copilot in VS Code and Claude Code's IDE extensions put an agent in an editor. Compared on models and billing.
Run your agents
Plexus is free to download for macOS, Windows and Linux. It runs the Claude Code you already have, with your existing login.
