## The brief

Written by Claude Opus 5.5 from 71 labelled posts and the numbers on this page. Interpretation, not measurement: every quote is verbatim and links to its post.

**Loved for parallel worktrees, punished for its picker and paywalled phone.**

TL;DR:

- Isolated worktrees and easy model switching make Conductor a favorite for running many agents at once.
- The redesigned five-slot model picker slowed daily users and drew the loudest complaints of the month.
- Mobile and remote access sit behind a Pro plan, and users openly shop for alternatives.

### What hurts

- **Five-slot model picker throttles switching** ([Which models are offered on a plan and when](https://feedbackbench.com/criteria/models.catalog_access.md), [Automatic model routing and fallback](https://feedbackbench.com/criteria/models.routing_auto.md), [How the interface shows work, and what the user can configure](https://feedbackbench.com/criteria/ui.display_settings.md)). The new picker caps quick-access models at five and limits new threads to pinned ones, so users who rotate many models lose speed.
  Users who juggle models from several providers say five slots are not enough. One finds new threads only start with the top two pinned models. Another suspects the cap was chosen for looks, notes a settings search found no toggle to undo it, and asks for the old flexible list back.
  
  Users also request mid-chat provider switching and removal of the slot cap. The complaint lands hardest because model choice is a core reason people pick the tool.
  Evidence:
  - Complaint, Conductor, @conductor_build, 2026-09-16: “i absolutely hate the new(ish) model picker in @conductor_build. it has slowed me down so much. really frustrating.” [source](https://twitter.com/1668000040869154816/status/2100302995070095539)
  - Complaint, Conductor, r/conductorbuild, 2026-09-22: “am i the only one that finds the new 5-model limit super restrictive? i have multiple models from multiple providers i switch between depending on task, 5 is simply not enough. the "share" button is also weird, this is a productivity tool not a game where you share your "loadout". i feel the 5 model limit was chosen for aesthetic reasons. i want to go back to the old one, with its flaws (like showing me codex despite me not even having it installed) it at least gave me the flexibility to switch models at will to any of the ones i have available. i searched the settings, there doesn't seem to be a toggle for this unless i am missing something. side note: it's asking me to add a flair before posting but there are not flairs available for me to add in the ui. <strict_link>” [source](https://www.reddit.com/r/conductorbuild/comments/1wndm16/helpdiscussion_new_model_picker_too_restrictive/)
  - Complaint, Conductor, @conductor_build, 2026-09-22: “while i like almost all of the the productization decisions @conductor_build makes for their harness, this is driving me nuts. especially with all these new models coming out, i need way more than 5 options quickly available to me. @charlieholtz 🥹🙏❓ <strict_link>” [source](https://twitter.com/1821276957428084738/status/2102479190054653992)
  - Complaint, Conductor, @conductor_build, 2026-09-17: “@conductor_build hey team, love the app but finding the model selector really annoying. i can't start a new thread with any except my top 2 pinned models. why?! a "more" option would be really great everywhere i select models 🙏 <strict_link>” [source](https://twitter.com/102718167/status/2100407910753018233)

- **Phone access missing or paywalled** ([Mobile, remote-control and voice access](https://feedbackbench.com/criteria/surfaces.remote_mobile.md), [How much use a plan's price buys](https://feedbackbench.com/criteria/limits.plan_value.md)). The iOS app is in TestFlight and tied to a paid plan, so users who want phone control either pay up or leave.
  Mobile is the most requested change. Users ask for a native iOS app and phone control of local sessions. One calls the tool Mac-only with no mobile app, so it loses by default. Another drops a $50 plan as poor value when remote and iPhone access are the only draws, and says a cheaper tier would sell instantly.
  
  Posts show users moving to rivals whose mobile and handoff features already work.
  Evidence:
  - Complaint, Conductor, @conductor_build, 2026-09-08: “last try now before i switch harness: is @conductor_build's ios app coming soon!?” [source](https://twitter.com/31129757/status/2097212144018202650)
  - Complaint, Conductor, @conductor_build, 2026-09-11: “same, i'm still on @conductor_build because t3 code feels vibe-coded, some design choices are not polished and i see big diff in ui/ux for conductor. but they recently introduced pro plan and gated remote and iphone app to it, so looking for alternatives. paying 50$ for things i don't need is not worth it.” [source](https://twitter.com/258280288/status/2098435805714727400)
  - Complaint, Conductor, @conductor_build, 2026-09-22: “if @conductor_build would add a $20/mo plan to allow me to run agents on my own remote env and use ios app, i'd purchase instantly.” [source](https://twitter.com/18447460/status/2102352802613756317)
  - Complaint, Conductor, @conductor_build, 2026-09-12: “@euboid @conductor_build switched off conductor for paseo because their mobile app is and has been already working for a while. as well as agent handoffs!” [source](https://twitter.com/1403003368339951620/status/2098889188397416523)

- **Spinning tabs and memory bloat** ([Client crashes, freezes and failed tool execution](https://feedbackbench.com/criteria/rel.client_failures.md)). New tabs stall and large conversations eat RAM, turning routine sessions into restarts and forks.
  Every reliability post is a complaint. One user says about half of new tabs spin, then offer only a fork into a new tab. Others report heavy RAM use in workspaces with long conversations, a silent notification sound, and a default-model settings error that loops until the app restarts.
  
  None of these are dramatic outages. They are friction that compounds for people running many workspaces at once.
  Evidence:
  - Complaint, Conductor, r/conductorbuild, 2026-09-15: “agreed. about 50% of my new tabs just spin for a bit, then give me the the ... option to fork into a new tab. it's getting very very very tedious to deal with.” [source](https://www.reddit.com/r/conductorbuild/comments/1wdm8hc/conductor_regressions_are_making_it_harder_to/p9y4n50/)
  - Complaint, Conductor, @conductor_build, 2026-09-04: “ey @charlieholtz! looks like @conductor_build is eating a lot of ram when you have some workspaces with a large conversation. any option to reduce that consumption? <strict_link>” [source](https://twitter.com/887245408942137345/status/2095799574900199871)
  - Complaint, Conductor, r/conductorbuild, 2026-09-04: “i found a bug in the default model settings. after switching the default review model to grok, conductor throws an error. from then on, clicking the default models section only reopens the error, so i have to restart the app to access it again. has anyone else gotten this error? <strict_link>” [source](https://www.reddit.com/r/conductorbuild/comments/1w7kuqo/small_bug_in_the_default_model_section/)
  - Complaint, Conductor, @conductor_build, 2026-09-11: “@conductor_build the notification sound is not working for me anymore? yes, my macbook sound is turned on. how do i share logs?” [source](https://twitter.com/1630455952318283777/status/2098528367838363663)

- **Cloud gets features local lacks** ([Cloud and remote sandbox execution](https://feedbackbench.com/criteria/surfaces.cloud_sessions.md), [Can do the user's kind of task](https://feedbackbench.com/criteria/work.capability.md)). Users see the roadmap tilting to cloud, with CLI support for cloud workspaces but not local ones and a fixed worktree model.
  One user calls it absurd that the CLI can spin up a cloud workspace but not a local one, reading it as a Pro and cloud focus. Others want OpenCode inside cloud workspaces and a persistent root that survives ephemeral ones.
  
  The worktree-only design also excludes some workflows. A user who wants to work from plain folders says that is not supported.
  Evidence:
  - Complaint, Conductor, @conductor_build, 2026-09-21: “@shpigford @conductor_build @conductor_build seems to be 100% focused on their pro / cloud offering. it’s absolutely absurd now, you can use their cli to start new cloud workspace but can’t start local one.” [source](https://twitter.com/1824020603726069760/status/2101929186436825243)
  - Complaint, Conductor, @conductor_build, 2026-09-12: “@garrytan @steve_yegge @conductor_build yea, conductor is pretty good only if they support opencode in their cloud workspace as well.. :,” [source](https://twitter.com/1165494410114523137/status/2098756777676554730)
  - Complaint, Conductor, @conductor_build, 2026-09-13: “@euboid @conductor_build i want to work from folders, not worktrees. doesn’t look like conductor supports that” [source](https://twitter.com/577620902/status/2099004680915611714)
  - Complaint, Conductor, @conductor_build, 2026-09-24: “@tonyroslund @conductor_build while ephemeral workspaces vanish ✨ persistent root would stay and dev to main rebase feels overdue” [source](https://twitter.com/356609569/status/2103135899206717867)

### What works

- **Worktrees make parallel agents manageable** ([Subagents, parallel agents and orchestrators](https://feedbackbench.com/criteria/work.multi_agent_orchestration.md), [Git commits, branches and sync](https://feedbackbench.com/criteria/work.git_workflow.md), [How the interface shows work, and what the user can configure](https://feedbackbench.com/criteria/ui.display_settings.md)). Each task runs in an isolated worktree, so users run many agents side by side without collisions.
  Users describe running a dozen agents at once and praise how projects are organized around worktrees. Multiple chats inside one worktree feel first-class rather than side threads. Auto-organizing with PR status and spotlighting workspace changes to the repo root get specific credit.
  
  For people who want to work on several things at once, the UI fits the habit.
  Evidence:
  - Praise, Conductor, @conductor_build, 2026-09-24: “how it feels ripping 12 agents at 3am using @conductor_build <strict_link>” [source](https://twitter.com/2062382921479049216/status/2103020839436509191)
  - Complaint, Conductor, r/conductorbuild, 2026-09-25: “i really like the way the projects are structured with worktrees, makes it easy to keep things organised and do more work in parallel. like others have said, the recent ui changes can be confusing at times. i think its best to stick to a default and let users configure the rest through a preferences page.” [source](https://www.reddit.com/r/conductorbuild/comments/1wp7deq/favourite_thing_in_conductor/pbxng4x/)
  - Complaint, Conductor, @conductor_build, 2026-09-13: “for managing worktrees and complex setups it’s fantastic. it feels super quick and intuitive. i love having multiple chats within one worktree too. they feel more involved and first class citizens rather than codex “side chats” that feel mainly for asking questions. it uses then codex cli so it can still access computer use etc… the in-app browser is lacking though. codex is still king there and the plugin ecosystem feels seamless within codex too. i prefer it for all models outside of codex.” [source](https://twitter.com/50570112/status/2099046528161567197)
  - Praise, Conductor, @conductor_build, 2026-09-11: “@poteto try @conductor_build auto organise with pr status is amazing” [source](https://twitter.com/1031961576893382656/status/2098261024042586384)

- **One harness, many models and CLIs** ([Automatic model routing and fallback](https://feedbackbench.com/criteria/models.routing_auto.md), [Subagents, parallel agents and orchestrators](https://feedbackbench.com/criteria/work.multi_agent_orchestration.md), [Which models are offered on a plan and when](https://feedbackbench.com/criteria/models.catalog_access.md)). Conductor wraps Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and OpenCode CLIs, so users mix models per task inside one workspace.
  Users call it the best multi-model harness they have tried. One runs a planner model as architect and another as the worker in isolated worktrees. Others pair it with outside context tools and keep working through OpenCode with cheaper models.
  
  Switching models across contexts is described as clean and effortless. Fast access to new releases earns praise too.
  Evidence:
  - Praise, Conductor, @conductor_build, 2026-09-07: “@forgebitz @conductor_build is pretty clean at switching across contexts within worktrees using different models” [source](https://twitter.com/1907106491850715136/status/2096877597279797545)
  - Praise, Conductor, @conductor_build, 2026-09-26: “@itsvlady it's crazy man, astra as architect and opus 5 as the henchman -- try out @conductor_build btw, it's awesome, so far the best 'multi-model' harness (supports cc, codex, cursor and opencode clis), and all your work sits in isolated worktrees so you can parallelize it to the maxx” [source](https://twitter.com/2891185809/status/2103772258376294595)
  - Praise, Conductor, @conductor_build, 2026-09-23: “@willcb you should try @conductor_build with @thesageox conductor: to switch between models and harnesses sageox: to never lose context across harness.” [source](https://twitter.com/103273439/status/2102827689749233895)
  - Praise, Conductor, @conductor_build, 2026-09-01: “@conductor_build is so fast that fable 5.1 released there before the changelog went live good stuff @charlieholtz <strict_link>” [source](https://twitter.com/2891185809/status/2094883199289565246)

- **Cloud workspaces with local sync** ([Cloud and remote sandbox execution](https://feedbackbench.com/criteria/surfaces.cloud_sessions.md), [MCP servers, plugins, skills and hooks](https://feedbackbench.com/criteria/setup.extensions_mcp.md)). Agents run in the cloud while local sync lets users test the running frontend, which posters call a real developer-experience gain.
  Users single out local sync as the part most harnesses skip. They can poke the frontend while the agent works elsewhere. Pair that with MCP and a CLI that creates cloud sessions programmatically, and one user calls it the best agent environment by a wide margin.
  
  Another closed a laptop during a hotel fire alarm and kept working from a phone.
  Evidence:
  - Praise, Conductor, @conductor_build, 2026-09-12: “@euboid @conductor_build local sync for cloud agent workspaces is the part most harnesses skip. being able to poke the frontend while the agent runs elsewhere is a real dx unlock.” [source](https://twitter.com/1847773141231423489/status/2098896936115880375)
  - Praise, Conductor, @conductor_build, 2026-09-13: “@euboid @conductor_build local sync is the underrated part. an agent workspace only becomes useful when the work can survive contact with the running product.” [source](https://twitter.com/1790690608639590400/status/2098932724832559239)
  - Praise, Conductor, @conductor_build, 2026-09-12: “the best agentic development environment is @conductor_build and it's not even close. → multi-agent workspaces → local sync (so you can test frontend even when working in the cloud) → ios app → mcp + cli - create cloud sessions programmatically. such a joy to use <strict_link>” [source](https://twitter.com/1476508432559714304/status/2098880125886509326)
  - Praise, Conductor, @conductor_build, 2026-09-15: “fire alarm comes on in hotel saying we need to leave, just closed the laptop, packed up, left and continuing the work on my phone thanks to @conductor_build 😁 this is the way” [source](https://twitter.com/1499051022295179268/status/2099810730929160564)

### Under the surface

- **Redesign swing around the picker** ([How the interface shows work, and what the user can configure](https://feedbackbench.com/criteria/ui.display_settings.md), [Updates break working setups](https://feedbackbench.com/criteria/rel.update_breakage.md), [Which models are offered on a plan and when](https://feedbackbench.com/criteria/models.catalog_access.md)). The picker update drew early praise for curation, then a wave of complaints about lost flexibility and removed UI, partly walked back.
  One early post celebrated finally being able to keep only the models you use. Within days, users said they missed the simpler dropdowns and found recent UI changes confusing. One asked for a sane default with a preferences page. A later post thanks the team for putting something back.
  
  Restoring removed UI elements and reverting the new picker both appear among top requests. Changes to core surfaces move sentiment fast here.
  Evidence:
  - Praise, Conductor, @conductor_build, 2026-09-10: “so much news that i forgot to share the coolest thing that was released yesterday... @conductor_build finally fixed the model picker to a decent one, it's really good now now you can leave only the ones you use there and already in the way you use it <strict_link>” [source](https://twitter.com/3183420959/status/2098073132057727437)
  - Complaint, Conductor, @conductor_build, 2026-09-22: “@kylezantos @conductor_build @charlieholtz i kinda miss the easiness of the previous ui for this, i don't think it was that bad to pick a model on the fly for dropdowns without having to go to the shortcuts edit view.” [source](https://twitter.com/1231065733918068736/status/2102503769032319365)
  - Complaint, Conductor, r/conductorbuild, 2026-09-24: “isnt this a bad thing? i kinda felt the ui we had a few months back was much cleaner” [source](https://www.reddit.com/r/conductorbuild/comments/1wp7deq/favourite_thing_in_conductor/pbsz9de/)
  - Praise, Conductor, @conductor_build, 2026-09-17: “@conductor_build @conductor_build thanks for putting it back :)” [source](https://twitter.com/1454183904848474113/status/2100653577387810994)

- **Rivals win on specific gaps** ([Subagents, parallel agents and orchestrators](https://feedbackbench.com/criteria/work.multi_agent_orchestration.md), [Mobile, remote-control and voice access](https://feedbackbench.com/criteria/surfaces.remote_mobile.md), [How the interface shows work, and what the user can configure](https://feedbackbench.com/criteria/ui.display_settings.md)). Switchers cite named features, such as mobile apps, subagent introspection, team collaboration and design, rather than core quality.
  Users who leave or hesitate point to concrete missing pieces. One wants introspection of each harness's subagents. A team lead says it lacks collaboration for human-plus-agent handoffs. Others move for orchestration depth or visual design.
  
  The pattern suggests the core loop holds and churn comes from the edges.
  Evidence:
  - Complaint, Conductor, @conductor_build, 2026-09-26: “@mattgapp @capydotai @conductor_build capy does next level orchestration i’ve switched” [source](https://twitter.com/11768582/status/2103996834704466324)
  - Complaint, Conductor, @conductor_build, 2026-09-05: “our working styles are evolving internally such that it's often me + my agent handing off tasks, updates to team + their agents the current terminal ui or slack is not really built for this who's solving for this? @conductor_build is what we use, but doesn't really have collab” [source](https://twitter.com/251140617/status/2096268659845185986)
  - Complaint, Conductor, @conductor_build, 2026-09-08: “i looked at a bunch of options now. thanks a ton for all the replies. @tryreplicas looks really nice but huge bummer that you have to pay for it and you can't just use the ui without automations etc. bummer, that leads me to @conductor_build which also looks solid but lacks some features that replicas has, e.g., introspection of subagents of each harness.” [source](https://twitter.com/2843813092/status/2097291719033151838)
  - Complaint, Conductor, @conductor_build, 2026-09-10: “@gabrielbuzziv @conductor_build i was using the conductor, but then i fell in love with the design of monocode <strict_link>” [source](https://twitter.com/388551191/status/2098116795362128238)

### Fine print

- Most posts come from X threads tagging the vendor, which skews toward enthusiasts and active requesters.
- Nearly every area has too few judging posts for firm conclusions; treat area-level patterns as directional.
- Model names and plan prices are as users reported them, not verified.

## Top requests

What users ask to add or change, most asked first. 94 author-weeks ask for something. Requests do not change the Feedback Score. Rule: A separate pass by Claude Sonnet 5 reads every counted post and extracts what the author asks the agent or its vendor to add or change, with the criteria it maps to and a short normalised wording; it does not touch the labels or the Feedback Score. Claude Opus 5.5 groups the wordings within each criterion (the first criterion the request maps to) into themes; code counts them. A theme counts distinct author-weeks that ask for it, per agent; across agents, one author-week per agent. Themes asked in fewer than 2 author-weeks, and requests that share no theme, are not shown. Examples: up to 3 posts per theme from different authors, without slurs, preferring posts of 60 to 450 characters, most recent first.

### 2. Phone control of local and desktop sessions

- Conductor, 2026-09-20, @conductor_build (X): “@shpigford following for the same exact problem. would consider myself a @conductor_build super user but it’s becoming a bottle neck when i don’t have a mobile app with access to my development environment. i don’t want a cloud instance.” [source](https://twitter.com/15086904/status/2101804467083460662)
