Baton— Review, Pricing, Alternatives

Description

Baton is a desktop application designed for development with AI coding agents. Run multiple agents in parallel, each in its own isolated Git workspace. Compatible with Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, and any terminal-based agent. Smart notification badges highlight agents requiring your attention. Review differences, browse files, search your codebase, and let agents create new ones via the integrated MCP server. Each workspace is a separate Git branch, ensuring no agent interferes with another's work. Quick workspace creation from an idea is possible, with an option to accept agent edits immediately. An integrated diff viewer allows reviewing every change before creating a Pull Request. Workspaces are organized into active, stashed, and archived sections, with quick search by name, description, and branch name. Actions allow saving reusable agent commands and prompts. File and content search are powered by fzf and ripgrep. Commit history is browsable, with per-commit diffs and file change stats. A built-in file viewer allows browsing and reviewing files without leaving Baton. Workspace setup allows defining per-project setup steps. Line-by-line Git blame annotations are available in the editor. File history allows browsing every commit that changed a file. Terminal tabs and splits allow multiple sessions per workspace. Finished workspaces can be archived or deleted. Custom agent commands and startup scripts are configurable. A built-in Git GUI allows managing branches and creating Pull Requests. Customizable themes and keyboard shortcuts are available. Multi-window management allows spreading work across monitors.
