Manage multiple, isolated AI coding sessions across VS Code, JetBrains IDEs, and the terminal. Claude Code, Codex CLI, and Gemini CLI out of the box. No context contamination. No broken git states.
Capabilities
Built for developers who run multiple AI coding agents without the chaos of conflicting file changes.
Each session runs in its own Git Worktree. File changes in one lane never leak into another. Switch contexts without stash/pop headaches.
Closing VS Code? No problem. Lanes remembers your active sessions and resumes them exactly where you left off using --resume.
See at a glance which agents are waiting, working, or have errors. Auto-configured hooks keep you informed.
Review all changes with a built-in diff viewer. Compare against any branch and add code review comments before merging.
Create sessions with a form: choose your agent, set a name, starting prompt, attach files, select source branch and permission mode.
Done with a session? Delete the worktree and terminal with one click. Your git branch stays intact and ready to merge.
And more
Platforms
Use Lanes wherever you write code — in your IDE or from the terminal.
Full-featured extension with sidebar, session form, diff viewer, file attachments, and more.
Install from Marketplace →Plugin for IntelliJ IDEA, WebStorm, PyCharm, GoLand, and other JetBrains 2024.1+ IDEs.
Build from source →Manage sessions directly from the terminal. No IDE required — perfect for headless and remote workflows.
Build from source →Workflow
Open the Lanes sidebar, choose your agent (Claude Code or Codex CLI), fill in a session name like fix-login-bug, your starting prompt, and optionally attach files.
Lanes creates a hidden Git worktree (.worktrees/fix-login-bug), spawns a dedicated terminal, and launches Claude with your prompt.
Create as many sessions as you need. Each agent works on its own isolated copy of the codebase. No conflicts, no context contamination.
Use the built-in Git Changes viewer to review all modifications. Delete the session when satisfied — worktree removed, branch preserved, ready to merge.
Automation
MCP-based workflows that guide Claude through structured phases: Plan → Implement → Test → Review. Built on Anthropic's research for long-running agent reliability.
