Best for
Developers who need to manage multiple concurrent AI coding agent sessions on macOS and want to maintain context across different models and projects.
Not ideal for
Users on Windows or Linux, or those requiring server-side deployment or remote SSH session hosting, as the tool is currently macOS-only and runs locally.
Xirp is a highly effective local orchestration layer for power users of AI coding agents, offering excellent workflow isolation and context management, though it requires careful manual review of transcripts to avoid leaking sensitive data.
Recent updates include support for the Cursor coding agent, the addition of the Pi coding agent, improved session cost and context monitoring for newer models, and various UI enhancements like a notification center and project-level terminal management.
