comet vs omnigent
Zeron: control Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Grok, Hermes and Pi from a local Rust daemon — sessions live on the device, with optional sign-in to drive them from another machine. — 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 sit above the harnesses — Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and friends — and let you follow a session from any device. Omnigent adds policy and sandbox enforcement across harnesses; Zeron stays a thinner local-first engine whose selling point is the device-owned data directory.

comet — the curator's take
The pick when you want agent sessions that outlive the laptop lid: a per-device engine owns the data directory, a fresh install is local-only with no account and no network, and signing in adds a synced workspace you can start on one box and follow from another — a VPS keeps agents working after you close the laptop. The profile boundary is unusually honest: login and logout refuse to touch credentials while an engine holds the data dir, and signing in never uploads or imports your existing local sessions. Caveats: the repo is named comet but the product is `zeron`, Linux installs via a `curl | sh` daemon, macOS wants the desktop release or a source build, and it's young enough that the docs are the architecture file.
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.
