We're two european builders who spent the last 2 months building Ariana, essentially Claude Code Web on steroids with some aspects ressembling Conductor.
We were frustrated with how managing multiple coding agents, sync and async, was feeling. Always either too much friction to go all-in most times, and once all-in too hard to manage. Especially as a team.
In Ariana you can launch multiple agents powered by your Claude Code on the same codebase, they go on to work on their own Hetzner VPS, on their own branch. They auto-commit, and you can generate a PR in the end.
You can launch & use agents from web, mobile web, desktop (win, mac, linux).
Why VMs over local git worktree? Well it doesn't clutter your disk space. It also makes agents shareable (one link share with your team), and useable from anywhere even away from the desktop. For example, you can start an agent on your local code and keep prompting it later in the metro.
Coding in a cloud VM is often annoying because you'd like to run or edit the code locally in your IDE. So on desktop we added real-time bidirectional file sync and network forwarding which allows you to fully focus on one agent as if it was there locally while the others keep working. You can also fork agents and by switching focus test multiple variants or features.
VMs can run anything like docker, docker compose, most languages. They each have an IP with firewall on by default. You can open ports and host what your agent worked on even.
We leave it for you to discover many other features and quality of life UX things.
You can try it on the web immediately for free using you claude subscription or API key. Linking a GitHub acc is optional (can just give a public clone url from github, gitlab, azure or bitbucket), but usage is more limited.
If you want to try also the desktop, download it at: https://ariana.dev
Mixing desktop & web rhather than web only is highly recommended.
Thank you for your attention, curious to know what you think!
