Product Introduction
- Definition: 1Code is a macOS/web-based orchestration platform for Claude Code agents, classified as an AI development acceleration tool. It enables parallel execution of multiple Claude Code instances.
- Core Value Proposition: It eliminates sequential Claude Code bottlenecks by running agents concurrently—locally on macOS or via cloud sandboxes—dramatically accelerating feature development cycles.
Main Features
- Parallel Agents Engine:
- Executes multiple Claude Code agents simultaneously using isolated environments. On macOS, agents run locally (with/without Git worktrees); web versions use containerized sandboxes. Live mobile/web previews enable real-time monitoring.
- Claude Code Integration:
- Mirrors all native Claude Code capabilities—plan mode, skills, message editing—via direct Anthropic API synchronization. Utilizes users’ existing Claude Pro/Max subscriptions without feature degradation.
- Keyboard-First Workflow:
- Fully navigable via hotkeys for agent creation, task switching, and PR management. Built on reactive UI frameworks (likely React/Electron) to eliminate mouse dependency and reduce context switching.
Problems Solved
- Pain Point: Slow iteration speeds in AI-assisted development due to linear Claude Code execution.
- Target Audience:
- AI engineers building multi-feature products
- Remote teams requiring collaborative agent monitoring
- Solo developers managing complex projects with Git worktrees
- Use Cases:
- Simultaneously prototyping 3+ app features via parallel agents
- Testing mobile-responsive UIs through live web sandbox previews
- Merging code changes directly from the PR workflow interface
Unique Advantages
- Differentiation:
- Versus Claude CLI: Adds parallelization, visual previews, and Git integration
- Versus Conductor: Specialized for Claude Code (not generic LLMs) with macOS-native performance
- Key Innovation:
- Hybrid execution model: Local processing (macOS) for latency-sensitive tasks + cloud sandboxes for cross-device access. Patent-pending agent concurrency management minimizes resource contention.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
- Does 1Code require Claude Pro?
Yes, 1Code mandates an active Claude Pro or Claude Max subscription for API access but doesn’t charge extra for Claude usage. - Is my code sent to 21st.dev servers?
No—macOS runs code locally; web sandboxes use ephemeral containers destroyed post-session. Zero code retention on external servers. - How does 1Code handle Git operations?
Directly creates/monitors PRs via integrated Git workflows. Supports worktrees for isolated branch testing without repository corruption. - Can I use 1Code without macOS?
Yes—web version offers full functionality via browser, including mobile previews. macOS app adds local execution benefits. - What support exists for Free tier users?
Free plan includes source code access for self-hosting and community support via GitHub. Pro/Max add live previews and priority troubleshooting.
