Hi HN, I'm Rob. I built Broomy because I got frustrated with the one-thing-at-a-time workflow of existing coding tools. When I work with AI coding agents, I typically have 5-10 tasks going at once across different branches. The agent works on one thing while I review another, merge a third, and kick off a fourth. Existing IDEs aren't built for this — they assume you're doing one thing at a time. Broomy is a desktop app (Electron + React) that lets you: - Run lots of agent sessions simultaneously and see at a glance which are working, idle, or need your attention - Work with any terminal-based agent (Claude Code, Aider, Codex, etc.) - Review code, manage branches, and handle merges with AI assistance - Use built-in IDE features (Monaco editor, file explorer, git integration, inline terminals) — all designed around multi-agent workflows I've been using it daily for a few weeks and my productivity has dramatically improved compared to working in Cursor. The key insight is that most of the time you spend "coding with AI" is actually waiting — and Broomy lets you fill that wait time with other tasks. This is a first public release (v0.6.0). Pre-built binaries are available for macOS. It should work on Linux and Windows too — build from source is straightforward (clone, pnpm install, pnpm start:dist). MIT licensed. Built as a personal project, not affiliated with my employer. Repo: https://github.com/Broomy-AI/broomy Website: https://broomy.org Happy to answer questions. |
