HyperTeamsHyperTeams vs Conductor
Conductor is a Mac app that runs coding agents in parallel and lets you review and merge their diffs. HyperTeams keeps the agents you already use running on your own computer, and handles a second machine and a second person in one place.
Why HyperTeams over Conductor
The biggest difference is where "keep it running" happens. Conductor answers continuing after you close the Mac, scheduled runs, and working with teammates with paid cloud sandboxes, and in that case your session transcripts are stored on Conductor's servers. HyperTeams System keeps going on your own computer after you close the window, starts at the times you set, and keeps instructions and results on that machine. On top of that, HyperTeams Connect pools several of your machines into one list, puts policy, pre-approval and an audit trail on work others assign, and attributes cost to people and teams. HyperTeams does not replace Conductor — keep the code loop that ends in a PR there and run both side by side.
Keep it running without moving to the cloud
To continue after you close the Mac, or to run at a set time, work moves to a cloud sandbox on a paid plan. Those sessions' inputs and outputs are stored on Conductor's servers.
The control room keeps going on your own computer after you close the window, and starts on its own at the times you set. Instructions and results never leave that machine.
Rules travel with the handover
In a paid cloud organization you share workspaces, follow the same chats, and reassign work to a teammate.
Accounts and roles, plus policy per folder and per command and pre-approval per item. Who approved what, and when, stays in an audit trail.
The machines you already have, in one list
Local work stays inside that one Mac; anywhere else it runs is a cloud sandbox Conductor spins up.
Install a control room on each machine and Connect pools them into one list, including which machine is awake right now.
Answer "who spent what this month"
Model usage accumulates on the Claude or Codex account you connect.
Cost attaches to each job and is attributed to a person and a team. You can set ceilings.
HyperTeams vs Conductor
- ConductorA macOS app. On paid plans, also in Linux sandboxes on Conductor's cloud.
- HyperTeams SystemExecution stays on that machine — the control room sits on top rather than taking it over.
- HyperTeams ConnectIt does not touch execution; it receives what the control room reports.
- ConductorEach task gets its own workspace — branch and working tree — and runs in parallel.
- HyperTeams SystemOne card per job — hand it five and five run side by side, in five folders.
- HyperTeams ConnectThe control room does this
- ConductorOne window shows what each agent is doing, with a diff to review.
- HyperTeams SystemStatus, a summary of the answer, and an unread marker, all in one list.
- HyperTeams ConnectThe control room does this
- ConductorLocal work runs on that Mac. Cloud workspaces sleep after four idle hours.
- HyperTeams SystemResident, and it records progress: it continues after you close the window, and a tunnel shows it on your phone.
- HyperTeams ConnectThe control room does this
- ConductorRoutines run on a schedule or GitHub trigger — in the cloud, on paid plans only.
- HyperTeams SystemYou pick a time on screen, and a failure notifies you.
- HyperTeams ConnectThe control room does this
- ConductorLocal work is scoped to that Mac; what a team sees together are cloud workspaces.
- HyperTeams SystemIt stops at that one machine. It does not know what runs on the next one.
- HyperTeams ConnectA control room per machine, all of them in one list — including which machine is awake.
- ConductorIn a paid cloud organization, workspaces are shared and can be reassigned.
- HyperTeams SystemIt assumes the owner of the machine. The screen is behind one password.
- HyperTeams ConnectAccounts and roles, policy per folder and command, and pre-approval per item.
- ConductorOutput lands as branches and PRs; cloud transcripts are stored on Conductor's servers.
- HyperTeams SystemIt keeps that machine's run history. There is no notion of an approval.
- HyperTeams ConnectWho approved what, and when, kept as a policy audit trail.
- ConductorModel usage lands on the Claude or Codex account you connect.
- HyperTeams SystemIt shows cost per job on that machine, with no owner attached.
- HyperTeams ConnectAttributed to a person and a team, with ceilings.
- ConductorFree for local use. Cloud and multiplayer are monthly plans (Pro, Teams).

Conductor docsWhat the control room does, and what Connect does
HyperTeams is two products. Which of them answers each row above is exactly where the boundary sits.
HyperTeams System
Runs the work on your machine
A program you install with one command. It assigns work per folder, runs jobs in parallel, and keeps going after you close the window. While you work alone, this is all you need.
- Where it runs
- Several jobs at once
- How far along it is
- If you close the window
- At a set time
HyperTeams Connect
Makes it something others rely on, unattended
It starts paying the moment there is a second machine and a second person: pooling machines into one list, filtering work others assign through approval, keeping an audit trail of what happened, and splitting cost per person.
- Several machines in one place
- When someone else assigns work
- Retracing it later
- What it cost
When do you move up a rung?
- L1 · Observe
You watch several machines. The moment there is a second one.
- L2 · Share
The team sees what was asked for. The moment you start sharing one password.
- L3 · Delegate
Others assign work and see the results. This is where approval, policy, and audit earn their place.
Running both
You don't remove or migrate what you use today. Here is how to layer HyperTeams on top of it.
- 1
Keep Conductor
Nothing is removed. Keep the branch, review and merge loop running there.
- 2
Install the control room with one command
Install it on the same computer and register the folders you work in. Claude Code signs in with the Claude subscription you already have.
- 3
Split the work
Code work that ends in a PR goes to Conductor; work you walk away from, work on a schedule, and work outside code go to the control room. They sit side by side — HyperTeams does not drive Conductor.
Which one should you pick?
When to just use Conductor
When branch, review, merge is the whole job
A branch and working tree per task, a diff viewer, checks, and PR merge, all in one app. HyperTeams does not try to take that seat.
When you want Cursor or OpenCode on the same screen
Conductor drives Cursor and OpenCode agents as well as Claude Code and Codex. HyperTeams drives Claude Code, ChatGPT Codex and Antigravity.
When you want the cloud, with no machine left on
Paid-plan cloud sandboxes run while your Mac is off, and teammates watch the same workspace live. HyperTeams needs a computer of yours that stays on.
When HyperTeams is the answer
When you hand it over and walk away
HyperTeams SystemIt keeps running on your computer after you close the window; check progress and add instructions from your phone, and get a notification when it is done. Scheduled work is set on the same screen.
When the work is not code
HyperTeams SystemResearch, first drafts, tidying survey data — work that never ends in a PR goes on a job card too, and you just check the result. Open it and edit in place, or publish it as a link behind a password.
When a second computer appears
HyperTeams ConnectA control room on each machine, all of them in one list. Each machine's folders and environment keep running where they are.
When colleagues start assigning work
HyperTeams ConnectThis is where Connect starts: accounts and roles, policy per folder and command, pre-approval per item, an audit trail, and cost per person and team with ceilings.
A layer, not a replacement
Put it on top of what you already run
One command to install. Nothing you use today gets removed or moved — you only add the command screen above it.

Common questions
Conductor is a Mac app that runs Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and OpenCode agents in parallel. Each task gets its own branch and working tree, and you review the diff and merge it as a PR. Paid plans add cloud sandboxes, multiplayer, and scheduled runs (routines).
The overlap is "many agents on one screen." If the branch, diff and PR loop is the center of your work, Conductor is tighter there and HyperTeams does not replace it. If you want always-on runs, schedules and teammates without moving work to a cloud, and you need approvals and cost attribution for work others assign, HyperTeams is the answer.
Yes. Both use the Claude Code already signed in on your computer. The usage limit sits on the account, not the tool, so both draw from the same limit. HyperTeams shows what is left and what each job cost on one screen, and when you hit the limit you can carry on with another account such as Codex or Antigravity.
Conductor states that local workspaces stay on your Mac, while cloud workspaces store session inputs and outputs on Conductor's servers. HyperTeams System keeps instructions and results on your computer; the only thing leaving it is the question going to the AI you picked.
Work is split by registered folder. Create worktrees however you already do; HyperTeams keeps a change history of what changed and when. If branch isolation and diff review are the core of it, Conductor is the better fit.
