cadre.rocks is a local-first, Kanban-style orchestration tool that runs and coordinates coding agents (via installed CLIs or user API keys) inside a task board. It is designed for developer workflows: create tasks with descriptions and acceptance criteria, route work to the right model/agent, run agents in parallel with isolated worktrees, surface blockers and implementation plans, review diffs, and require human approvals before changes proceed. The product emphasizes privacy and control: agent credentials remain on the user’s machine (OS keyring), tokens are billed by the provider, and cadre.rocks charges only for the orchestration layer. Start with a private desktop board and opt into online workspaces, cross-device sync and team invites when collaboration is needed.

Manage Claude Code, Codex, Grok, Opencode and OpenAI-compatible coding agents from one local-first Kanban board. Run tasks in parallel and approve every change.

Key Features

Kanban-style boards and workflow

Create tasks with descriptions, acceptance criteria, images and tags; move tasks through custom sections and columns and follow the full lifecycle from brief to branch, plan, diff and approval.

Agent routing and column-scoped credentials

Route work to specific agent CLIs or saved API keys per column; the credential is scoped to that agent in that column and separate from other keys.

CLI detection and BYOK (Bring Your Own Key)

cadre.rocks detects installed coding CLIs on the machine and can reuse CLI logins; alternatively users can save API keys which are stored in the OS keyring rather than in files or browser storage.

Human-in-the-loop approval gates

Four approval gates (questions, plans, commands and diffs) keep humans in control: agents propose plans/changes which must be reviewed and approved before continuing.

Parallel and ordered runs with isolated worktrees

Run multiple agents in parallel, order subtasks and create isolated worktrees per run to avoid conflicts and ensure reviewable diffs.

Local-first, offline-by-default execution

Boards, repositories, worktrees and agent runs stay on the user’s machine by default; credentials remain local and sync is opt-in per workspace.

Cross-device sync & team workspaces (Pro & Team)

When needed, enable online workspaces to sync board activity across computers, invite collaborators, and share boards while keeping source repos and credentials local.

Guides and live deep dives

Six in-depth guides with live replicas of the app demonstrating workflows such as multi-agent runs, approval gates, and CLI-specific workflows.

Use Cases

Orchestrate multi-agent coding workflows

Turn well-defined engineering tasks into parallel agent runs, coordinate multiple agent families in a queue, collect plans and diffs, and require human review before merging.

Local-first agent execution with privacy

Run agents via local CLIs or saved API keys that live in the OS keyring so credentials and source code remain local and under team control.

Add agent orchestration around existing CLIs and models

Use the CLIs you already have installed or BYOK API keys so teams can reuse existing provider subscriptions and billing without creating new accounts.

Sync and share work when teams grow

Start privately on a desktop board and opt into online workspaces and cross-device sync to collaborate with teammates while keeping secrets and repositories local.

Issue tracker synchronization (planned)

Sync issues and cycles from trackers into the board and push status back when tasks ship — integrations like Linear and Jira are listed as coming soon.

Integrations

Claude Code (Anthropic)

Anthropic's engineering agent is supported via local CLI or BYOK credentials.

Codex (OpenAI)

OpenAI Codex-compatible CLI integration and model runs via CLI or API key.

Grok (xAI)

xAI's assisted build CLI can be used as an agent adapter on the board.

opencode (anomaly)

Open-source, multi-provider coding agent adapter integrated via local CLI.

OpenAI-compatible profiles

Support for local OpenAI-compatible endpoints and profiles; any OpenAI-compatible endpoint can be used via a local profile.

Issue trackers (Linear, Jira)

Syncing with Linear and Jira is mentioned as 'in the works' and 'Soon' for two-way issue and cycle sync.

Benefits

Keep credentials and tokens local: OS keyring storage and local-first execution reduce exposure of secrets.
Reuse existing provider billing: CLI logins or user API keys mean no double billing and 'no token markup'.
Human approval gates ensure reviewability and prevent automatic merges or pushes.
Run agents at scale with ordered, parallel runs and isolated worktrees to minimize conflicts.
Opt-in online sync provides collaboration without forcing cloud-first workflows.

Limitations

Some issue-tracker integrations are planned but not yet available (Linear and Jira are listed as 'Soon').
No public pricing details for Pro & Team tiers are provided on the page.
Columns without configured agents remain manual — automation requires configured CLIs or BYOK credentials.
The product is local-first; online/team features require opting into Pro & Team online workspaces.

Frequently Asked Questions

No verified FAQs are available.

Getting Started

  1. 1 Download the desktop app for your platform (Windows, macOS or Linux).
  2. 2 Start a local board — boards, repositories, worktrees and agent runs remain on your machine by default.
  3. 3 Allow cadre.rocks to detect installed coding CLIs or add a BYOK API key stored in your OS keyring.
  4. 4 Create tasks with descriptions, acceptance criteria and tags; assign columns to specific agents or make columns manual.
  5. 5 Run agents, inspect questions/plans/diffs, and approve or reject outcomes; opt into online workspaces when you want cross-device sync or collaborators.
