Leon is an open-source native desktop workspace that runs multiple coding agents like Claude Code, Codex and OpenCode in parallel across projects and machines.
- for
- Developers who use AI coding agents and need a unified local environment
- pricing
- open source
- license
- Apache-2.0
Key features
- Multi-agent support — Run Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode or any other coding agent side-by-side in real terminals.
- Project-wide tree view — Organise machines, projects, git worktrees and agent sessions in a single searchable tree.
- Remote pairing with code — Connect another computer via a one-time pairing code; communication is end-to-end encrypted.
- GPU-rendered terminals — iTerm-style split terminals with fast GPU rendering run inside real login shells.
- Agent memory — Persist and search shared memory entries per project, visible to all agents.
- Task board integration — Create, sync and manage tasks; agents can read/write the board and sync with GitHub issues.
Use cases
- Debug a repository by running Claude Code and Codex in parallel on separate worktrees
- Collaborate with a teammate on the same codebase using the encrypted pairing code
- Maintain a shared memory of decisions across multiple agent sessions for a long-running project

- Leon vs Inkscape: Jan runs LLMs locally but focuses on model hosting, not a multi-agent workspace
- Leon vs Cline: Cline provides an autonomous coding agent inside an IDE, whereas Leon manages multiple agents across projects
- Leon vs Selvedge: Selvedge offers a memory layer for coding agents, a feature that Leon includes as part of its workspace
Leon FAQ
How do I connect another machine to my Leon workspace?+
Enable “Share this machine”, generate a one-time pairing code, and type it on the other computer; the connection is encrypted via the relay service.
Does Leon require any external servers or ports?+
No, both computers dial out to the relay service, so no ports need to be opened and no SSH keys are required.
What agents are supported out of the box?+
Leon ships with built-in support for Claude Code, Codex and OpenCode, and can run any other coding agent in a real terminal.
Is my code or terminal output visible to the relay?+
The relay only passes ciphertext; it cannot read your terminals or commands.
Can I sync tasks with GitHub?+
Yes, Leon can sync a project's tasks with its GitHub issues, keeping changes in both directions.
