Prometeu alternatives
TL;DR
Prometeu (prometeu.co) is a free, MIT-licensed desktop app from the prometeucorp GitHub org. It runs Claude Code, Codex, Cursor CLI and Antigravity side by side, each in a separate copy of your project on its own branch, called a git worktree. Agents show up as chats. Its git view is one of the fullest around, with split diffs, staging, history and conflict resolution, plus a local log of tokens and cost.
Its reach is narrow. The full app runs on Apple Silicon Macs and x64 Linux. The Windows build is experimental and runs only Codex, inside WSL (the Linux side of a Windows PC). There are no installers for Intel Macs. And it works with those four agents, through a chat view rather than their own terminals.
Pane runs any CLI agent in its real terminal, so you see exactly what it prints and can type straight into it. It has native builds for Windows, Intel and Apple Silicon Macs, and Linux. T3 Code is the closest chat-style app on every OS, Orca is the biggest all-in-one, and Superset is a polished Mac app.
the alternatives
These four go beyond Prometeu's platforms or agent list. Chip colors: green for native, amber when there's a catch, red when it's missing.
1.Pane
Best for any agent CLI in its own terminal, on Windows and Intel Macs too.
Builds for Windows x64 and ARM64, Macs on Intel or Apple Silicon, and Linux x64 or ARM64. Every agent, from Codex to Gemini CLI or Amp, runs in its real terminal inside its own worktree. Commit, push, rebase and squash-merge sit on shortcuts. Prometeu's git view goes further: when a rebase hits a conflict, Pane can hand it to Claude Code, but it has no merge editor. Free, AGPL-3.0.

2.T3 Code
Best for Prometeu's chat style, on every OS, with phone apps.
A free, MIT app from Theo (t3.gg). It runs Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Grok, OpenCode, Antigravity, Pi and more as chats, and each thread can get its own worktree. Native on Windows, macOS and Linux, with a newer WSL backend you pick in Settings that still has open bugs, plus iOS and Android apps.

3.Orca
Best for lots of agents, real terminals and git buttons in one app.
Free and MIT on Mac, Windows and Linux, including WSL repos. It runs about 40 agents in worktrees, with diffs, commit and PR buttons, and a browser where you click an element to send it to the agent. Like Prometeu, it can start work from GitHub and Linear issues.

4.Superset
Best for a polished Mac app with a deep git view and Linear and GitHub tasks.
If you're on a Mac anyway, Superset runs agent CLIs in real terminals inside worktrees, with diff, commit and PR in the app. It's free for one user. Pro ($20 a user a month) adds automations, Linear and mobile. You must sign in, and the license is source-available (Elastic License 2.0). Linux is experimental and Windows isn't available.

which one should you pick?
stay with Prometeu if
- → you're on an Apple Silicon Mac or x64 Linux and use Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or Antigravity
- → you want a full git client in the app, with split diffs, review notes, history and conflict resolution
- → you want to see local token use and cost per workspace
- → you start work from Linear or GitHub issues and want PR status in the same app
pick pane if
- → you're on Windows or an Intel Mac
- → you want Gemini CLI, Amp, OpenCode, Pi or another agent Prometeu doesn't list
- → you'd rather watch each agent's own terminal than a chat timeline

why people look for a Prometeu alternative
Narrow platforms, a Codex-only Windows build, and four agents.
Prometeu's homepage lists Apple Silicon Macs and x64 Linux, and says there are no installers for Intel Macs or Linux ARM64. The README and every recent release add a Windows .exe marked experimental. On Windows, your projects, git and agents all live in WSL, and only Codex is available. GitHub issue and PR features don't work on Windows yet.
The agent list is fixed at four, and nothing says other CLIs work. Prometeu talks to each agent through its machine interface and draws the replies as a chat, so you never see the agent's own screen.
moving from Prometeu to pane
Logins carry over. Each workspace becomes a Pane.
Prometeu relies on agent CLIs you've already signed into, and Pane uses those same logins. Open the repo and make a Pane where you'd start a workspace. It gets a worktree and branch, plus copies of your .env and agent folders. Claude Code, Codex and OpenCode launch from presets, Cursor too outside native Windows, and Antigravity or any other CLI runs as a custom command. The agent now shows its own screen instead of a chat. Review is simpler than Prometeu's: a diff, with commit, push and merge on shortcuts. Pane's Usage & Limits page tracks tokens and cost, for Claude and Codex only.
our verdict
Prometeu ships fast and has one of the best git views in this group, for free. Pane is the move if you're on Windows or an Intel Mac, or want any agent in its own terminal. T3 Code keeps the chat style everywhere, with phone apps. Orca crams the most into one window. Superset suits a Mac user who wants polish and deep git.
