In their own words

Devs upgrading their AI workflow.

I'm deep in the weeds in the AI world and I've tried so many different orchestrators, and I've not resonated with a single one until Baton. I typically sling 10+ terminal sessions across 4-5+ projects — I'm now moving all that to Baton. It's simple, takes custom start commands for the agents, and it just works.

I love the product and have been immersed in it since I first bought the license. Keep up the good work, you're on to something great here!

JP R. Co-Founder & CEO

The app you've built has been tremendously helpful with improving my workflow.

One agent is fun. Two feels clever. Four is usually where the whole thing turns into branch soup and nobody remembers which window is doing what. This is for that point.

Built-in MCP server

Agents can spawn Baton workspaces and run tasks in parallel from inside their own conversation.

Smart Notifications

Workspace cards badge the moment an agent finishes, errors, or asks for input. Optional sound cues too.

Built-in Git GUI

Fetch, pull, rebase, and push branches directly from the toolbar. Once your agent is done, open a Pull Request to GitHub or GitLab with a single click.

Git Blame

Multiple terminals per workspace with tabs and split panes. Search output, multi-line input, drag-and-drop reordering.

Workspace Archiving

Archive or delete finished workspaces. Batch operations and drag-and-drop reordering across projects.

Custom Agent Commands

Configure your own agent commands and startup scripts. Use any tool that runs in a terminal.

Multi-Window

FAQ

Common questions

Your code never leaves your computer. Baton runs locally with no accounts required. The one optional cloud feature is AI-generated workspace titles and branch names — enabled by default, easy to turn off in settings. When on, your first prompt (not code) is routed to one of a few highly trusted providers that don't train on your data: Google Vertex, Google AI Studio, Mistral, or DeepInfra. Inference cost is on us — no API key needed. Baton never stores your prompts. You can also bring your own key or disable this entirely. The AI agents you run (Claude Code, Codex, etc.) connect to their own APIs directly, same as if you ran them in any other terminal.

Any agent that runs in a terminal. Claude Code, Codex CLI, OpenCode, and Gemini CLI have first-class support with features like smart notifications and one-click MCP setup. You can also configure any custom command — if it runs in a shell, it works in Baton.

Yes. Every workspace is backed by a real directory on disk with a built-in shortcut to open it directly in VS Code, Cursor, Windsurf, or Xcode. You can also point any other editor at the worktree path. Baton manages the git branches and agent orchestration; your IDE handles editing.

You're in full control. Archive a workspace to hide it from the sidebar, or delete it to remove the worktree and branch from disk. You can also push the branch and open a PR before cleaning up. Worktrees are standard git worktrees — nothing proprietary.

Every feature, every agent, every tool — and you can create as many workspaces as you want. The only limit on the free tier is 4 running concurrently; stop one to start another, or activate a paid license to run unlimited workspaces in parallel. Choose monthly ($19/mo), yearly ($79/yr), or a one-time lifetime license ($99). Yearly and lifetime include a 14-day money-back guarantee.

Baton gives every agent its own git worktree — a separate working directory with its own branch — so agents can't step on each other's work. On top of that, you get a clean GUI to organize everything: live status indicators, a built-in diff viewer, file viewer, content search, commit history, seamless PR creation, and keyboard shortcuts that make common operations fast and effortless.

Yes, Git must be installed on your system. Baton uses your local Git installation to create and manage worktrees.
