Maestri is a native macOS application offering an infinite canvas for coding agents. Each terminal is a visual node you can freely position, accompanied by notes and sketches. Connect agents by drawing a line: they collaborate via PTY orchestration. Claude Code dialogues with Codex. Gemini delegates to OpenCode. Ombro, a local AI companion via Apple Intelligence, monitors everything and summarizes activity in your absence. Developed in SwiftUI with a custom engine, no cloud or telemetry. The new version includes features like workspace navigation with shortcuts, browser portals for embedding web views, Git integration in the file tree, and SSH remote connections.

Use cases
Solopreneur managing multiple AI coding projects
Independent developer, solopreneur
For independent developers, Maestri enables managing multiple AI coding agents on a single infinite canvas. A solopreneur can have one agent writing code, another testing it, and a third documenting changes, all visible and interconnected without alt-tabbing. This allows for efficient parallel development and oversight of complex projects.
Student visualizing complex coding concepts
Computer science student
For computer science students, Maestri provides a visual environment to understand and experiment with AI-driven coding workflows. A student can use Maestri to connect different AI agents, sketch out architectural diagrams on the canvas, and observe how they interact to solve coding problems. This hands-on, visual approach aids in grasping complex concepts.
Remote team lead coordinating AI agents
Software team lead, remote worker
For remote team leads, Maestri facilitates the orchestration and monitoring of AI coding agents across distributed projects. A lead can set up distinct workspaces for different team members' AI agents, connect them for collaborative tasks, and use the Ombro assistant to receive summaries of agent activity. This ensures project continuity and clear oversight, even when not actively engaged.
Developer prototyping with multiple AI models
Software developer, AI researcher
For developers prototyping with AI, Maestri allows for seamless integration and comparison of different coding agents on one canvas. A developer can simultaneously run Claude Code, Codex, and Gemini, connecting them to test various code generation and refactoring strategies. The ability to sketch and add notes directly on the canvas helps in documenting and iterating on AI model performance.
Frequently asked questions
Is Maestri free?
Maestri offers a free tier that includes one workspace, unlimited agents, an infinite canvas, sketching tools, sticky notes, agent connections, connected notes, and the Ombro assistant. This tier provides access to all core features to get started.
How much does Maestri cost?
Maestri has a Pro version available for a one-time payment of $18. This Pro version includes unlimited workspaces, addictive shortcuts for workspace navigation, and the ability to use the license on up to two Macs. A 7-day free trial is available for the Pro version.
Is Maestri secure and GDPR-compliant?
Maestri is designed with a strong emphasis on privacy, stating that it does not collect, store, or transmit any personal information. All data is stored locally on your Mac, and its on-device AI companion, Ombro, uses Apple Intelligence for local processing. Maestri itself makes no network connections beyond license activation and update checks, which can be disabled.
What platforms does Maestri support?
Maestri is a native macOS application and requires macOS 26.2+ with Apple Silicon. It is not available for Windows, Linux, web, or mobile platforms.
What are alternatives to Maestri?
While Maestri offers a unique infinite canvas for coding agents, alternatives for managing multiple terminal sessions and AI coding assistants include tools like Warp, Fig, and standard terminal multiplexers such as tmux or iTerm2, though these may not offer the same integrated visual canvas and agent collaboration features.
How do I install Maestri?
Maestri can be downloaded directly from its official website. It is a native macOS application and installation typically involves downloading a disk image (.dmg) file and dragging the application to your Applications folder.
Can Maestri agents talk to each other?
Yes, Maestri allows agents to communicate with each other directly. You can connect terminals and let agents prompt each other, enabling task delegation, question asking, and work hand-offs without manual intervention.
