## The brief

Written by large language models from this page's numbers and the posts it quotes, then checked: every number in the text is in the build. Interpretation, not measurement.

Conductor is a workspace for running many coding agents side by side, each in its own git worktree. Users like what that does for their work, but they talk about the interface more than anything else, and there complaints outnumber praise. On quality of work it ranks 6th of 14, above the category norm. The interface takes 30.2% of what its users rate, against 11.5% for other agents. Setup and reliability draw mostly complaints. Overall it ranks 12th of 17, and it has a small audience. Too few posts compare it directly with another agent to show how it fares.

### Why people choose it

- **Runs many agents in parallel across worktrees** ([Quality of work](https://feedbackbench.com/coding-agents/criteria/work.md)). 6th: of 14 on “Quality of work”. 18% of what users rate. Users say each new workspace gets its own git worktree, and archiving the workspace cleans it up. That lets them start a long task, switch to another feature, and come back later. Posts describe it working with Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and OpenCode subscriptions.
  Evidence:
  - 2026-09-28, r/ClaudeCode (Reddit): “conductor — i have access to open ai and claude for work and its so great. the opinionated workflow of a new git worktree gets auto-created for every new workspace. archiving the workspace cleans it up.” [source](https://www.reddit.com/r/ClaudeCode/comments/1wsfm2w/best_mac_app_dashboard_for_managing_multiple/pclgqmq/)
  - 2026-09-18, @conductor_build (X): “@arvidkahl maybe give @conductor_build a try. it takes away all the pain of managing worktrees.” [source](https://twitter.com/1163430424233877505/status/2100813562575000025)
- **Workspaces and tabs keep parallel work organized** ([Clear display and settings](https://feedbackbench.com/coding-agents/criteria/ui.display_settings.md)). 2.1×: 14% of what users rate, 2.1× the rate for other agents. Ranks 5th of 12 on “Clear display and settings”. Users like how projects, workspaces and conversations are laid out. They use tabs to split planning, building and review inside one worktree. One user says Codex now looks like what Conductor started with.
  Evidence:
  - 2026-09-12, @conductor_build (X): “@euboid @conductor_build @cursor_ai @t3dotcodes tabs is the killer feature for me in conductor helps a lot to manage context better and work on multiple things in rhe same worktree i have 1 tab to plan, another to work, and another one to review / commit” [source](https://twitter.com/1356251789520203777/status/2098921149904093186)
  - 2026-09-29, @conductor_build (X): “@farzad_yz i love using @conductor_build with codex and claude subscriptions! always have enough options to keep work going. they release updates often. the multidimensional organization of project x workspace x conversation helps a lot with managing work.” [source](https://twitter.com/143966456/status/2104908034220925288)

### Why people leave


### What would move its score

Rule: For each area where an agent's customer love is below the category norm: the Feedback Score and rank it would have if that one area were at the norm (0.5) and everything else stayed the same, computed with the same formula as the ranking. An area's pull follows its weight, so an area many users of the category rate moves the score more than one they rarely mention.

| Area at the category norm | Feedback Score | Change | Position |
|---|---|---|---|
| Setting up and connecting | 43.4 | +0.1 | 12th of 17 |
| Reliability and speed | 43.4 | +0.1 | 12th of 17 |

No single area moves the Feedback Score far. Bringing setup or reliability up to the category norm would raise it from 43.3 to 43.4 in each case, and Conductor would stay 12th. Its other areas are already at or above the norm.

### Six weeks

Weekly users rose from 90 to a peak of 162 in the week of 2026-09-07, then fell to 53 by the last week. Share of voice stayed between 0% and 1%, and rank moved between 12th and 14th. Category users fell from 32,348 to 26,760.

## Top requests

What users ask to add or change, most asked first. 146 user-weeks ask for something. Requests do not change the Feedback Score. Rule: A separate pass by a large language model reads every counted post and extracts what the user 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. A large language model groups the wordings within each criterion (the first criterion the request maps to) into themes, and a second pass merges themes that ask for the same change under different criteria; a merged theme sits under the criterion most of its requests map to, and code counts it once. A theme counts distinct user-weeks that ask for it, per agent; across agents, one user-week per agent. Themes asked in fewer than 2 user-weeks, and requests that share no theme, are not shown. Examples: up to 3 posts per theme from different users, without slurs: whole posts of 60 to 450 characters with at least 8 words beyond handles and links, posts of at most 280 characters first, then the newest.

### 1. Customizable model picker

- Conductor, 2026-09-22, @conductor_build (X): “@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)
- Conductor, 2026-09-22, @conductor_build (X): “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 🥹🙏❓ [link]” [source](https://twitter.com/1821276957428084738/status/2102479190054653992)
- Conductor, 2026-09-17, @conductor_build (X): “@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 🙏 [link]” [source](https://twitter.com/102718167/status/2100407910753018233)

### 2. Control local desktop sessions from mobile app

- Conductor, 2026-10-04, @conductor_build (X): “👋🏼 @conductor_build i’m sorry but i don’t want your “cloud organization”, i don’t need multiplayer, collab nor compute hours. the only thing i need the mobile app to do is to tailscale to my desktop conductor and let me use it. happy to pay $20/mo for it 🤗 [link]” [source](https://twitter.com/279977050/status/2106742574795182190)
- 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)

### 3. Native iOS app

- Conductor, 2026-09-24, r/conductorbuild (Reddit): “yeah i was sarcastic. it drives me crazy. the review button moves every update, the model selector changes, plan mode button is gone, etc. they keep changing shit that is fine and meanwhile there’s still no ios app 😭” [source](https://www.reddit.com/r/conductorbuild/comments/1wp7deq/favourite_thing_in_conductor/pbszn7p/)

### 6. Windows support and Windows desktop app

- Conductor, 2026-10-09, r/conductorbuild (Reddit): “\+1 ... this would be an absolute game changer. i constantly have to switch between windows (work) and macos (personal). conductor on both platforms in combination with the pro plan and conductor cloud would be a banger.” [source](https://www.reddit.com/r/conductorbuild/comments/1x13gv6/when_are_we_getting_a_windows_version_ballpark/pet4pg1/)
- Conductor, 2026-10-08, r/conductorbuild (Reddit): “i'm dying to conductor on pc. i got a new job and i have to use pc (please kill me) and now i can't use conductor on it. it's my #1 harness and surface. really would love a solution for pc. thank you guys for everything you do! 🙏” [source](https://www.reddit.com/r/conductorbuild/comments/1x13gv6/when_are_we_getting_a_windows_version_ballpark/)

### 12. Confirmation before archiving a workspace

- Conductor, 2026-09-30, @conductor_build (X): “@ktkaushik @conductor_build i find the lack of a confirm step costly; i'm building [link] that records a snapshot before archiving, giving me a quick way to restore.” [source](https://twitter.com/1724070962902028288/status/2105331860762947601)
- Conductor, 2026-09-30, @conductor_build (X): “@conductor_build is there a way to have conductor confirm before archiving? and is there a way to retrieve recently archived workspace? you can perhaps guess, i accidentally archived a workspace.” [source](https://twitter.com/39042776/status/2105125877826871709)

## Ranks highest on

How the interface shows work, and what the user can configure (5th of 12)

## Ranks lowest on

No criterion where it sits clearly in the bottom half.

Position on a criterion: its place among the agents with at least 30 rated user-weeks there, ordered by customer love. It ranks high when both its position and its 95% interval put it in the top half, low when both put it in the bottom half; neither otherwise, or when fewer than 4 agents qualify.

## All 63 criteria

Criterion love: 0.5 is the category norm. n: rated user-weeks.

### Paying and limits: Too few posts (customer love 0.521, n 23)

Users rarely talk about cost. It makes up 9.1% of what they rate, against 31.9% for other agents. Posts describe using the Claude and Codex subscriptions they already have. Praise and complaints are close to even.

### Choosing models: Too few posts (customer love 0.513, n 29)

Users like switching between models across workspaces and using more than one provider's subscription. Complaints still outnumber praise. Users ask for a customizable model picker and support for a new Haiku model.

### Instructing and context: Too few posts (customer love 0.501, n 9)

A minor topic: 3.6% of what users rate, against 10.1% for other agents. Users who mention it say tabs help them keep context separate within one worktree.

### Doing the work: 6th of 14 (customer love 0.522, n 44)
