## Works with

What Gemini CLI runs, and what can run Gemini CLI. "With your existing login" means the wrapped tool's subscription is reused, no second bill.

### Runs inside

- [agent-manager](https://whichcoding.tools/tools/agent-manager) (via CLI, Free with your existing login): Go terminal UI on tmux that runs Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, Gemini and other agent CLIs side by side, with live status in one list and diff comments sent back to the agent.
- [Claude Squad](https://whichcoding.tools/tools/claude-squad) (via CLI, Free with your existing login): Terminal app on top of tmux that runs Claude Code, Codex, Gemini, Aider and other agents in separate git worktrees, with a background auto-accept mode and a diff view.
- [cmux](https://whichcoding.tools/tools/cmux) (via CLI, Free with your existing login): Native macOS terminal on libghostty with vertical tabs, notification rings and a scriptable browser for running Claude Code, Codex, Gemini and other CLI agents at once.
- [Devin Desktop](https://whichcoding.tools/tools/devin-desktop) (via ACP, $20/mo on Pro, with your existing login): Cognition's AI-native IDE, renamed from Windsurf over the air on 2 June 2026. Devin Local, a Rust rewrite of the Cascade agent, adds sub-agents and sandboxing.
- [dmux](https://whichcoding.tools/tools/dmux) (via CLI, Free with your existing login): FormKit's open source tmux pane manager. Each pane gets its own git worktree and branch, launches the agents you pick, and merges or opens a pull request from the pane menu.
- [JetBrains AI](https://whichcoding.tools/tools/jetbrains-ai) (via ACP, Free with your existing login): AI Assistant and the Junie agent in JetBrains IDEs. Completions on JetBrains models are free, cloud agents draw from monthly AI Credits. Claude Agent and Codex plug in over ACP.
- [OpenHands](https://whichcoding.tools/tools/openhands) (via ACP, Free with your existing login): MIT licensed coding agent and control center. Runs in Docker, on your servers or on OpenHands Cloud, and drives Claude Code, Codex and Gemini CLI over ACP with their own logins.
- [Superset](https://whichcoding.tools/tools/superset) (via CLI, Free with your existing login): Source-available desktop app that runs many CLI agents in parallel, one git worktree per workspace, with a diff dashboard, SSH workspaces and scheduled automations.
- [Vibe Kanban](https://whichcoding.tools/tools/vibe-kanban) (via CLI, Free with your existing login): Kanban board that runs Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI and other agents in parallel worktrees with diff review. Bloop shut down in April 2026, the project is community maintained.
- [Warp](https://whichcoding.tools/tools/warp) (via CLI, Free with your existing login): Terminal with a built in agent and an Agent CLI, open sourced under AGPL-3.0 in April 2026. Runs Claude Code, Codex and other CLI agents in tabs with worktrees, plus cloud agents.
- [Zed](https://whichcoding.tools/tools/zed) (via ACP, Free with your existing login): Open source editor written in Rust with GPU rendering. Hosts external agents such as Claude Code, Codex and Gemini CLI over ACP at no charge, with its own hosted models on Pro.
