A Superset alternative for Windows and Linux
Superset, a Y Combinator company, calls itself an IDE for the agents era: an Electron app that runs many CLI agents in parallel in git worktrees, with a diff viewer. It is optimized for macOS, and Windows and Linux are not officially tested. AgentVera runs parallel agents on macOS, Windows and Linux, with flows, checks and team features around them.
Superset and AgentVera side by side
| Feature | Superset | AgentVera |
|---|---|---|
| Platforms | Optimized for macOS; Windows and Linux are not officially tested. | macOS, Windows and Linux desktop app. |
| Supported agents | Any CLI agent. | 18 CLI coding agents, including Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, Copilot, Cursor Agent, opencode, Amp and Aider, plus plain terminals. Each uses its own CLI install and login. |
| Open source / license | Source-available, Elastic License 2.0 (about 15k GitHub stars). | Closed source. |
| Pricing model | See superset.sh for current plans. | Free plan with unlimited agents; Pro and Team plans are paid. |
| Git worktrees | Yes, with a built-in diff viewer. | Yes. Create a worktree per task from the Git panel and start an agent in it; night-shift tasks get their own worktree. You are warned when two agents edit the same file. |
| Kanban | not confirmed | Team kanban shared across your organization; assign a card to Claude or Codex and the reply lands on the card (Pro and Team). |
| Flows and pipelines between agents | not confirmed | Flows pass one agent’s output to the next; research→plan→build pipeline; staged task line; night shift (Pro and Team). |
| Acceptance checks | not confirmed | Verify extracts acceptance criteria from your request and a separate read-only verifier checks each one after the agent’s turn; automatic code review. |
| Database manager / SSH | not confirmed | Database manager for PostgreSQL, MySQL/MariaDB and SQLite (Pro and Team); SSH/SFTP panel; agent SSH and database access with your rules. |
| Token savings | not confirmed | Context profiles, automatic /compact, bundled RTK output compression, automatic per-task model routing and a project map (code graph) for agents. |
| Team features | not confirmed | Organizations, team kanban, client boards, AgentVera Runner on your own server, automatic account switching. |
A dash means we could not confirm the feature on Superset’s own pages. It may exist or arrive later; check their site.
When to pick Superset
- You work on a Mac and want an IDE-style app built around many parallel agents.
- You want to read the source; Superset is source-available under the Elastic License 2.0.
- You run a CLI agent AgentVera does not list. Superset works with any CLI agent; in AgentVera an unlisted CLI runs in a plain terminal pane without the per-agent features.
When to pick AgentVera
- You or your team are on Windows or Linux and want a supported build.
- You want agents to hand work to each other: flows, research→plan→build, night shift.
- You want acceptance checks (Verify), automatic code review and warnings when two agents edit the same file.
- You want a database manager, SSH/SFTP, a team kanban and account switching in the same app.
Moving from Superset to AgentVera
- Download AgentVera and open the same repository as a project.
- Add the agents you ran in Superset; AgentVera starts the installed CLIs with their own logins.
- Worktrees created by Superset are ordinary git worktrees: open them from the Git panel, or merge and remove them first.
- Review changes in the Git panel or with automatic code review, then commit and open a pull request from the GitHub card.
