Developer built an orchestrator to run parallel Claude Code sessions from a phone
A developer trying to make full use of a Claude Code built a tool called Operator to run and manage many sessions from one screen. Previously, juggling multiple terminals and (isolated working copies of the same repository) while tracking which agent was doing what ate up more time than the actual coding work.
With Operator, you create a project, add tasks inside it, and starting a task spawns an agent session using Claude Code or Codex. Each task gets its own and branch so agents never interfere with each other.
It's built as a web app rather than a desktop app, so it can run locally or be hosted remotely — letting work continue after closing the laptop and letting the developer send prompts or review diffs from a phone while away from the computer. For the past two weeks, the developer has used Operator to build Operator itself.
Key points
- Operator is an open-source web orchestrator for running multiple Claude Code/Codex agent sessions in parallel
- Each task gets its own and branch to prevent agents from colliding
- Can run locally or be hosted remotely; remote hosting lets work continue after closing the laptop and be controlled from a phone
- The developer used Operator for two weeks to build Operator itself
