A Conductor alternative for Windows and Linux
As of October 9, 2026
Conductor runs Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and OpenCode in parallel, each task in its own workspace, on a Mac or, with its paid plans, in the cloud. Moontors is an agentic development environment (ADE) that runs Claude Code, Codex and Gemini CLI side by side on macOS, Windows and Linux.
At a glance
Section titled “At a glance”| Conductor | Moontors | |
|---|---|---|
| Agents | Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and OpenCode | Claude Code, Codex and Gemini CLI |
| Platforms | macOS; not yet Windows or Linux; an iOS app for cloud workspaces | macOS 13+, Windows 10+ (x64), Linux (x86-64); an Android app on Google Play, the iPhone's coming soon; no build is signed yet, and macOS and Windows ask before the first open; on Windows 11, Smart App Control, when it's on, blocks unsigned apps, Moontors among them; early preview (0.x) (Known limits) |
| Needs | GitHub, and at least one agent provider | Each agent's own sign-in; no Moontors account (Signing in) |
| Isolation | A git worktree per workspace | A git worktree per session, when you want one (Worktrees) |
| When the app is closed | Cloud workspaces continue; local sessions end | Sessions keep working in a background service (Sessions and the board) |
| Cloud | Cloud workspaces, for GitHub repositories, on the Pro, Teams or Enterprise plans | No |
| Data | Analytics collected; local session data stays on your Mac, cloud sessions on Conductor’s servers | No Moontors account and no Moontors servers. Moontors itself sends no telemetry; each agent's own usage data follows that agent's settings |
| Price | Free for local workspaces; Pro $50 a month, Teams $60 a user a month | Free, with no Moontors account |

Where Conductor is the better fit
Section titled “Where Conductor is the better fit”- You work on a Mac and want agents to run in the cloud, and to follow them from an iPhone.
- You want to share workspaces and prompt agents together with your team.
- Your work runs through GitHub pull requests, and you want CI checks and merging in the same app.
- You use Cursor or OpenCode as agents.
Questions
Section titled “Questions”Is there a Conductor alternative for Windows and Linux?
Section titled “Is there a Conductor alternative for Windows and Linux?”Moontors runs on macOS, Windows and Linux, where Conductor is not yet on Windows or Linux. Both run several coding agents at once, and both run Claude Code and Codex, in Conductor’s case beside Cursor and OpenCode. Conductor gives each workspace its own git worktree; Moontors gives a session one when you ask for it.
Do the agents keep working when the app is closed?
Section titled “Do the agents keep working when the app is closed?”In Moontors, yes: a background service keeps every session working after you quit the app. In Conductor, local sessions end when you close the app, and its cloud workspaces carry on.
Does Moontors have cloud workspaces?
Section titled “Does Moontors have cloud workspaces?”No. Moontors runs your sessions on your own computer, with no Moontors servers. Conductor’s cloud workspaces come with its Pro, Teams and Enterprise plans.
What does Moontors cost?
Section titled “What does Moontors cost?”Nothing, and it needs no Moontors account. You sign in to each agent with your own plan or API key. Conductor is free for local workspaces.
