ProPR: the open-source alternative as Conductor winds down

Conductor gives Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and OpenCode isolated workspaces on macOS, and it is winding down after joining Meta. ProPR runs the same parallel, isolated work on a server the whole team shares.

ProPR
vs
Conductor

One Mac or a shared server

Conductor runs and merges agent work in a closed-source desktop app. ProPR runs a shared, self-hosted delivery path through GitHub.

Conductor pathWorkspace on your Mac → parallel agents → local review → mergeOne developer watches the agents and merges from the app.
ProPR pathPlan → isolated workspace → GitHub PR → follow-up commitThe same CLIs on a shared server, with the pull request as the handoff.

Switch from Conductor to ProPR.

Conductor Cloud shuts down on 20 November 2026 and the Mac app receives only new models and critical fixes until early 2027. Move your workflow to ProPR.

What you keep: your GitHub repositories and review process, and the Claude Code, Codex, and OpenCode logins Conductor already used.

From zero to the first pull request

Install ProPR, or skip the server

Run npm install -g propr-cli and propr setup on a Linux Docker host (quickstart). ProPR Hosted runs a dedicated instance for you when you would rather not run one.

Add the same repository and sign in your agent

Open the web UI, sign in with GitHub, and add the repository. Sign in the same Claude Code, Codex, and OpenCode accounts; each shows its health and default model.

Start the first task and approve the plan

Add the AI label to an issue, or describe the change in Planner Studio and create the issues from the plan. Start several at once; each runs in its own workspace.

Review the pull request in GitHub

Review the diff the way you review any pull request. A plain comment on it becomes the next commit on the same branch; /review posts scored findings and /fix applies them. The switch-and-revert playbook hands a stuck PR to another model.

What stays with Conductor: Conductor runs on your Mac with no server; ProPR needs a Linux Docker host or a Hosted plan, and the agents run there instead of on your laptop.

Conductor is a free macOS app for running Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and OpenCode in parallel; it bills nothing for model usage, which goes through your own provider accounts or API keys. On 4 November 2026 Conductor announced it is joining Meta: the Mac app receives new models and critical fixes until early 2027, and Conductor Cloud shuts down on 20 November 2026. Each task gets its own workspace, branch, files, terminal, diff, and review path, and workspaces start from a branch, pull request, GitHub issue, or Linear issue. Plan Mode asks the agent for a plan before it edits files. You review, open pull requests, ask the agent to address review comments, merge, and archive workspaces in the same desktop app. The source is closed.

ProPR moves the same parallel, isolated runs off one developer's Mac and onto a server the whole team shares. Each task starts from a plan and ends as a pull request, and a plain GitHub comment starts the next commit from any of the five agents, with nobody at the app.

Happening now: separate agents implementing and reviewing at the same time on storefront-web and orders-api
Agents implementing and reviewing at the same time on two repositories, each in its own workspace on the shared server.

Conductor fits best when...

  • You work on macOS and want a free local desktop app as home.
  • You want to watch parallel agents and merge their changes yourself.
  • The work belongs on one developer's machine, and a product in wind-down is acceptable.

ProPR fits best when...

  • The Claude Code, Codex, and OpenCode CLIs Conductor bundles keep working, with Antigravity CLI and Mistral Vibe beside them.
  • Agents run on a shared server while people use the web UI, the desktop client, or GitHub.
  • The source is Apache 2.0 and the installation is yours.

A Mac app in wind-down versus a self-hosted PR path.
