Description
Maestro solves a problem most developers accept: AI coding assistants only work one task at a time.
You ask Claude to build Feature A. You wait.
Then you ask it to fix a bug. You wait again.
Context switching piles up, and progress stays stubbornly serial.
Maestro takes a different approach. It lets you run 1 to 6 AI coding sessions in parallel, each inside its own isolated git worktree, with its own terminal, branch, and shell environment. No stepping on each other’s changes. No guessing which agent touched what.
It’s built for people who already live in the terminal and want AI to work alongside them.
Use Cases
- Work on multiple features at the same time without context switching
- Run bug fixes, refactors, and experiments in parallel branches
- Compare outputs from different AI coding tools side by side
- Keep AI-generated changes isolated and easy to review
- Use AI assistants without sacrificing git hygiene
- Treat AI agents like junior devs with their own sandboxes

How to Use Maestro??
Maestro is designed so you don’t have to think too much before it becomes useful. The basic flow stays the same every time.
- Open Maestro
Launch the app like any normal desktop application. - Choose your project
Pick the folder you want to work on. A git repository works best, since Maestro relies on branches and worktrees. - Set up your sessions
In the sidebar, decide how many AI sessions you want to run. Anywhere from one to six. - Pick what each session does
For every session, choose the AI tool (Claude Code, Gemini CLI, Codex, or just a plain terminal) and assign a branch. - Launch everything
Click Launch. Maestro spins up all sessions at once, each opening in its own isolated workspace.
At this point, every terminal is live and ready. You can start giving tasks immediately.

Conclusion
Maestro doesn’t try to replace your editor or your terminal.
It just removes the bottleneck that comes from treating AI like a single-threaded process.
Running multiple AI agents in parallel sounds chaotic.
In practice, the git worktree isolation makes it feel controlled, even boring, in a good way.
If you already use AI coding tools daily and wish they’d stop slowing each other down, Maestro is worth your time.
