Hyperlane
Hyperlane is a desktop IDE for running coding agents alongside a VS Code-based editor.
What Hyperlane is
Hyperlane is a desktop IDE for running coding agents alongside a VS Code-based editor. Agents work in separate Git worktrees, and Hyperlane describes running four agents on four tasks at once. It supports a catalog of agents, including Claude Code, OpenCode, Cursor, Codex, Gemini CLI, and GitHub Copilot, as well as CLI-based agents and agents that speak ACP. The editor provides language server support, extensions, terminals, source control, multi-cursor editing, snippets, and refactoring. You can review an agent’s branch as a pull request beside its checks, description, diff, and discussion thread. Other tools include project search, a three-way merge-conflict editor, an HTTP client, design mode, Prettier formatting, and Vitest support. VS Code settings, keybindings, themes, and extensions carry over. Hyperlane is free to download for macOS, Windows, and Linux. It says source files are processed locally and API keys are not handled by Hyperlane; content sent to third-party AI services goes directly to the chosen provider.
