6 Repos That Let You Run Claude Code in Parallel (Vibe Kanban, cmux, Superset, Claude Squad, Container Use, CCManager)
TL;DR
One Claude Code session handles one task at a time. These 6 free tools let you run several side by side. Vibe Kanban turns each card on a board into a coding agent, cmux is a Mac terminal built for many agents, Superset is an IDE for orchestrating agents, Claude Squad and CCManager manage sessions in one terminal, and Container Use gives every agent its own container. Each section has the GitHub link, live star count and install line.

6 repos that let you run Claude Code in parallel
Star counts below were pulled from the GitHub API on October 4, 2026, so they will be higher by the time you read this. Every install line is copied from the repo README unless we say otherwise.
One Claude Code session works on one task at a time. These 6 free tools let you run several at once, each in its own workspace, so one agent can fix a bug while another writes tests. Superset's own GitHub description says it can orchestrate 100+ coding agents in parallel. That is the project's claim, not an independent benchmark.

Common questions
Are these 6 repos free?
Yes, all 6 are free to use. Licenses differ: cmux is GPL-3.0-or-later for the app with BUSL-1.1 server parts, and Superset uses the Elastic License 2.0, which is source-available rather than open source.
Does running Claude Code in parallel use more of my limits?
Yes. Every session uses your plan's usage, so 4 sessions at once burn through it faster than 1.
Which one should I try first?
Vibe Kanban, because npx vibe-kanban runs it without an install. If you prefer the terminal, try Claude Squad.
