SHIPIT: one Mac window for Claude Code, Codex and the rest of your agents
SHIPIT is a native macOS app for working with AI coding agents. It runs Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and Gemini CLI over your own folders, side by side, on your own Claude or OpenAI plan.
A developer uses it to run several agents at once and hand tasks between them. Someone who has never coded picks the Beginner level and gets a website or a Telegram bot from a short chat.
What SHIPIT does
- Three modes in one window. Agent: named teammates with a lead, a chat each, routines on a schedule and reports. Code: live terminals tiled over your folders, a docked browser and a Git panel. Chat: threads with no project attached.
- Agents in parallel. Switch on Parallel chats and every chat runs its own turn at the same time. A cap on concurrent turns keeps your plan limits from running out mid-task.
- Handoffs with @. Type @Name and the task goes to another teammate. Your chat shows its state (queued, working, needs you, replied) and the reply comes back to you.
- An approval for every change. With Ask before acting, a file change or a tool run waits for Approve or Reject. Full access is a separate switch that asks before it turns on.
- Limits in sight. The Dashboard shows how much of each Claude or Codex subscription window is used and when it resets.
- Git without the terminal. The Changes panel shows the branch, the changed files and the diffs, and pushes the branch to GitHub. A pane menu creates a Git worktree for a new branch.
Three levels, from first site to a team of agents
| Level | For | What you see |
|---|---|---|
| Beginner | You have never coded | A website, a Telegram bot or a reminder from a few questions. Agents work in a chat, no terminals. |
| Intermediate | You have tried AI tools | Agent, Code and Chat. Agents look like chats, with the terminal one click behind each. |
| Pro | You live in the terminal | Terminals side by side, plugins, skills and every setting. |
The level changes any time in Settings, and nothing is locked behind it.
Which agents it runs
SHIPIT has no model of its own. It drives the agent command-line tools you already use and finds them on your PATH: Claude Code from Anthropic, Codex from OpenAI, Cursor, Gemini CLI and Grok. If Claude Code or Codex is missing, SHIPIT installs it and opens the sign-in for the plan you already have. Claude Code needs no API key.
Each chat picks its model from the installed engines, so one teammate can run on Claude while another runs on Codex. How to choose: which model for which task.
Price
SHIPIT comes with the Dzhura subscription: $25 a month or $199 a year. The same subscription includes the Dzhura notch app (dictation, screenshots, clipboard, AI) and Homin on iPhone. The agents run on your own Claude or ChatGPT plan, paid to Anthropic or OpenAI. 7-day money-back guarantee; consumers in the EU, the UK and Ukraine have 14 days.
Privacy
Files, prompts and answers stay on your Mac and go only to the agent services you connect. Agents ask before acting by default, and crash reports stay off until you turn them on. Details: privacy and access.
Questions and answers
Is SHIPIT a Claude Code GUI for Mac?
Yes, and more than that. The Claude Code pane runs the real Claude Code in your project folder, with modes (Ask before acting, Plan first, Auto-approve), a model picker and an effort setting. The terminal behind it is always one click away. Codex, Cursor and Gemini CLI get panes of their own.
Can I run several Claude Code agents in parallel?
Yes. Switch on Parallel chats in Settings, Agents & AI, and set a cap on concurrent turns. Each chat runs one turn at a time, so for a second job open a new chat or another teammate. Every agent draws on the same plan, so five agents use your limits about five times as fast.
Can Claude Code and Codex work on the same project?
Yes. Make one teammate on a Claude model and another on a Codex model, then type @Name to hand a task from one to the other; the reply comes back to the chat that sent it. In the Code tab the two can also sit side by side. More: Claude Code and Codex together.
Do I need to know how to code?
No. At the Beginner level SHIPIT asks a few questions and an agent builds a site, a Telegram bot or a reminder while you watch. Any change can be undone, and publishing a site is free.
Does SHIPIT work on Windows or Linux?
No. SHIPIT is a native macOS app and needs macOS 14 or later.
Is SHIPIT a Conductor alternative?
For running Claude Code and Codex side by side on a Mac, yes. Conductor is joining Meta, and its cloud shuts down on 20 November 2026. Comparison: Conductor alternatives.
What does it cost?
The Dzhura subscription, $25 a month or $199 a year, plus your own Claude or ChatGPT plan for the agents.
