Argus

An agentic IDE for mobile and web development.

Orchestrate a flock of Claude Code agents in parallel — each in its own isolated git worktree — with live iOS simulators, Android emulators, an embedded Chromium browser, and a full VS Code editor, all in one desktop app. One developer. A hundred hands. A hundred eyes.

Highlights

Parallel by default

Every session is an isolated worktree with its own agent, simulator, and terminals. Fan out five ideas at once — none of them step on each other.

See what the agent sees

Live iOS simulator and Android emulator mirroring, an embedded Chromium browser with CDP screencast, and streaming tool-call cards in real time.

Review like a human

A full git workflow — branches, commits, stashes, hunk-level staging, diff viewer — baked into the UI. Accept, reject, or refine without leaving the app.

Edit like an engineer

A real embedded VS Code via @codingame/monaco-vscode-api. Extensions, search, intellisense, multi-file edits. Not a chat box pretending to be an IDE.

Orchestration tree

Visualise agent-spawned subagents and their tool calls as a live hierarchy. Swap models per-agent on the fly. Resume long-running conversations from persisted history.

Granular permissions

Approve, deny, or 'always allow' specific tool patterns through a permission broker without ever stopping the agent mid-flight.

Changelog
  1. v0.35.1

    Fixes

    • Agents no longer claim a web browser view is attached when the runtime panel has none open. They're now told the project targets the web and a browser can be opened, instead of being pointed at a non-existent view.
  2. v0.35.0

    Highlights

    • Pin a specific conductor CLI version from Settings → Tools. Argus installs it on demand and uses it for all device interaction — no app update needed. Leave it blank to use the bundled version.
  3. v0.34.0

    Highlights

    • Add a tile-size slider to the Devices grid view so you can scale the live device tiles up or down.
    • Watch several devices at once with the new grid view on the Devices screen. Pick devices to tile them side by side as live monitors, and flip any tile to interactive to tap and type on it. Multiple Android emulators can now stream at the same time, alongside iOS, web, and video devices.
    • Stay signed in to several Claude accounts at once and switch between them from Settings without logging out. Sessions can be pinned to a specific account, so work can keep running on another account when one is rate-limited.

    Fixes

    • Android emulator previews now start promptly even when the device screen is idle, instead of hanging on "Starting capture…" until something on screen changes.
    • Updated conductor to 0.24.0.
