Pane vs Superset
작성자 Parsa Khazaeepoul, Pane 공동 창업자. 이 비교에 나온 모든 에이전트 관리자를 실제 개발 환경에서 테스트했습니다. .
Both Pane and Superset are 에이전트-agnostic tools for running AI coding 에이전트 in parallel. The key differences: Pane is AGPL-3.0 오픈 소스 and the 전용 option with first-class Windows x64, Windows ARM64, Mac, Linux, and WSL-aware 작업 흐름 지원. Superset is source-available under ELv2 (not OSI-approved 오픈 소스), built and tested on macOS — Linux added a AppImage in February 2026, Windows remains untested. Superset 2.0 (April 2026) added 원격 워크스페이스 and a standalone CLI binary. Pane is 로컬 우선 by default, and Remote Pane lets the 데스크톱 앱 connect to your own daemon on a VM, WSL box, or another Machine when you want the runtime elsewhere.
사용 사례별 결론
- → If your team has a single Windows or Linux developer, choose Pane. Superset's 데스크톱 앱 is Mac-tested 전용; Linux via AppImage is partial and Windows is untested.
- → If you need 원격 워크스페이스 across Machines, compare the model: Superset has 원격 워크스페이스; Pane has an optional self-hosted Remote Pane daemon.
- → If SOC 2 is a hard procurement requirement today, choose Superset. Pane is source-auditable AGPL-3.0 but uncertified.
- → If you want zero extra 의존성 (no Bun, Caddy, gh CLI), choose Pane. Pane ships as a single desktop installer and needs 전용 git.

Pane이 앞서는 부분
cross-플랫폼 — actually
Pane runs on Windows x64, Windows ARM64, Mac, and Linux with identical UI, shortcuts, and features. Windows and WSL are first-class 작업 흐름s — not "might work" footnotes. Superset's repository states macOS is the 전용 tested 플랫폼; Linux gained an AppImage in February 2026, and Windows remains untested. 70% of developers use Windows or Linux.
zero 의존성 beyond git
Pane requires git and nothing else. Superset's 데스크톱 앱 requires Bun v1.0+, Git 2.20+, GitHub CLI, and Caddy. Fewer 의존성 means fewer things that can break. Superset 2.0 also ships a standalone CLI binary, but the 데스크톱 앱's dependency footprint is unchanged.
키보드 우선 by design
Every single action in Pane has a keyboard shortcut — new pane, switch pane, view diff, commit, push, rebase, squash, merge. The 명령 팔레트 (⌘K) puts everything one keystroke away. Pane was built as a keyboard app that happens to have a GUI.
full git 작업 흐름 from the keyboard
Commit, push, rebase, squash, merge — all from keyboard shortcuts with command p검토 before execution. The 에이전트 writes code, you 검토 the diff, you ship. That loop is seamless in Pane.
always 무료, no lock-in
Pane is 무료 and AGPL-3.0 — no paid tier, no lock-in, self-hostable with full source access. Superset has a $20/seat/month Pro plan and is source-available under ELv2 — you can read the code, but you cannot offer it as a competing service.
where superset has an edge
richest primitive set of any competitor
Superset has the most complete feature set of any 에이전트 manager: 워크스페이스s, 프로젝트s, 에이전트, 작업s with org-wide 상태 and priority, automations (RRULE-based recurring 에이전트 runs), and — since 2.0 — 원격 hosts. Pane is intentionally minimal; Superset is the choice if you want a full orchestration layer.
SOC 2 Type 1 + penetration testing
Superset passed SOC 2 Type 1 and an independent penetration test in March 2026. If your procurement checklist requires a formal compliance certificate, Superset has it today. Pane is source-auditable AGPL-3.0 but uncertified.
원격 워크스페이스
Superset 2.0 (April 27 2026) lets you point your 로컬 app at any Superset device on the 동일한 network. If your team shares a powerful workstation or needs 에이전트 to run on a specific Machine, this matters. Pane handles 원격 실행 through Remote Pane: install the headless daemon on your own VM, WSL box, or workstation, paste the printed pane-remote://... code in Settings, and keep the desktop UI 로컬.
theme marketplace + standalone CLI binary
Superset ships a theme marketplace and, as of the 2.0 release, a standalone CLI binary for headless use. Pane has a single terminal-native 데스크톱 앱 with no theme marketplace.
두 도구의 공통점
Both are 에이전트-agnostic — run Claude Code, Codex, Aider, Goose, or any CLI 에이전트. Both use git worktrees for isolation. Both have 내장 diff 뷰어s and 세션 유지. Both are Electron apps using xterm.js for terminals. The common HN critique of 에이전트 managers — "you're just converting typing time into reading time" — applies to both equally. The 작업 흐름 section below addresses this directly.
PR 작업 흐름
Superset에서
Select or create a 워크스페이스 in the 프로젝트 panel, spawn an 에이전트 in that 워크스페이스, then 검토 the generated diff in Superset's 내장 side-by-side viewer. Run any setup scripts the 프로젝트 needs, then push from the Superset CLI or a terminal session. With Superset 2.0, the 워크스페이스 can run on a 원격 Machine while your 검토 UI stays 로컬.
in pane
Open Pane and create a new pane — a git worktree is provisioned 자동ally. Launch your 에이전트 in the embedded terminal. When the 에이전트 finishes, press ⌘D to open the 구문 강조 diff 뷰어 without leaving the keyboard. Review, then ⌘K to open the 명령 팔레트 and commit and push in one step. The entire loop — 작업 to merged 브랜치 — stays 로컬 by default, or runs on your Remote Pane host when you connect one.
기존 superset 데이터를 Pane으로 옮기는 방법
| superset | Pane | note |
|---|---|---|
| 워크스페이스 | pane + worktree | 1:1 — 브랜치-scoped worktree; 이름 and 브랜치 carry over directly |
| 프로젝트 | working directory | point Pane at the 동일한 repo directory; 프로젝트 metadata is implicit |
| 에이전트 (terminal-에이전트 row) | 에이전트 | 1:1 — command, args, env all export via superset agents list --json |
| 작업 | 작업 | 제목, description, and 상태 carry over; org-wide priority and assignee are lost |
| automation | no equivalent | RRULE-based scheduled runs — Pane has no scheduler |
| host (원격 Machine) | 원격 pane profile | Install the Pane daemon on the host and import its pane-원격:// code in Settings. |
| session | session | 1:1 개념 — live terminal state cannot be exported |
Today this is 수동. Superset exports structured JSON via its CLI (superset workspaces list --json, superset tasks list --json) — the best export of any 에이전트 manager. A one-click "Import from Superset" adapter is on the Pane roadmap.
결론
If you're on macOS and want a rich orchestration layer with 원격 워크스페이스, automations, and SOC 2 compliance, Superset is a strong choice. If you're on Windows or Linux, Pane is the 전용 option with first-class 지원. If you want a 키보드 우선 작업 흐름 with a simple 로컬 경로, optional self-hosted 원격 runtime, full git control, and no lock-in — Pane is built for that.
