Why use Baton over raw terminal windows?

CLI coding agents deserve a proper home. Baton gives every agent its own isolated workspace with tools built for the way you actually work.

Worktree isolation

Every agent gets its own branch

Each workspace is backed by a real git worktree — a separate working directory with its own branch. Agents never interfere with each other. No stashing, no switching, no conflicts. Run five agents on five features simultaneously.

  • Git changes and ahead/behind counts at a glance
  • Launch any agent in a new workspace in seconds
  • Push branches and open Pull Requests directly from the app
  • Archive or delete when you're done

Agent monitoring

Know when every agent needs you

Labeled status badges appear on workspace cards the moment an agent finishes, hits an error, or needs your input. Each badge tells you exactly what happened at a glance. No polling, no tab-switching — just glance at the sidebar.

  • "Input" badge when an agent is waiting for input
  • "Done" badge when a turn completes successfully
  • "Error" badge when an agent reports an error
  • One-click notification setup for supported agents
