CodeNomad vs omnigent
Desktop cockpit for OpenCode: multi-instance sessions, git worktrees, remote browser access, voice input and a command palette — a workspace for living in AI coding sessions. — versus — Open-source meta-harness over Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, OpenCode, Hermes, Pi and custom agents: swap harnesses without rewriting, enforce policies and sandboxes, follow sessions from any device.
Both are cockpits for living in AI coding sessions with remote access; CodeNomad is OpenCode-only, Omnigent spans many harnesses.

CodeNomad — the curator's take
For developers who run OpenCode all day and have outgrown the terminal: parallel sessions across projects in one window, git-worktree awareness for agent branches, a password-protected server mode for driving sessions from any browser, and quality-of-life extras (voice input, SideCars for embedding local web tools). NOT useful if OpenCode isn't your driver — it's a cockpit for that engine specifically, not a general agent UI; and it's young (2k stars), so expect rough edges alongside the fast release cadence.
omnigent — the curator's take
Use when you run several coding harnesses and want one control plane: mix agents in a session, gate risky actions with policies, run in Modal/Daytona/E2B/K8s sandboxes, and pick a session up from phone or browser. Team sharing (co-drive, fork) is a real differentiator. NOT if you live in one CLI on one laptop — it's a server + desktop app stack, and it's alpha; expect churn. Apache-2.0.
