Core features.
Feature cards focus on what the tool helps users do, not generated setup commands.
Emdash is a provider-agnostic desktop app that lets you run multiple coding agents in parallel, each isolated in its own git worktree, either locally or over SSH on a remote machine.
We call it an Agentic Development Environment (ADE).
Emdash supports 27 CLI agents, including Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, Gemini and Amp.
Users can directly pass Linear, GitHub, Jira, or Asana tickets to an agent, review diffs, test changes, create PRs, see CI/CD checks, and merge.
Connect to remote machines via SSH/SFTP to work with remote codebases.
Emdash supports SSH agent and key authentication, with secure credential storage in your OS keychain.
Run agents on remote projects using the same parallel workflow as local development.
Claude Code ✅ Supported curl -fsSL | bash
