AgentGlass turns a local machine into a live control room for multiple coding agents
serallap · reddit · 2026-07-21
An open-source project called agentglass aims to be a local control room for multiple coding agents running on one machine.
What it does
- Shows a live fleet view of every agent, tool call, token, cost, and real tool latency, with SQLite history that persists across reloads.
- Surfaces a “what needs you” panel for stuck sessions, cost spikes, and approval requests.
- Can optionally gate risky tool calls for approve/deny decisions from any device, while failing open so agents are not blocked accidentally.
- Supports Claude Code hooks and any provider that speaks OpenTelemetry; Gemini CLI and Codex CLI can be wired up in one command, and Bedrock, LangChain, and LiteLLM can plug in via OTLP exporters.
- Bundles a workspace: diff viewer, git panel, Docker panel, PTY terminal, and a chat UI for local Claude sessions.
Practical notes
- Installers are available for Linux, macOS, and Windows, with no build required.
- The dashboard is browser-based and binds to localhost by default, so the author warns users to review the security section before exposing it.
- The project is explicitly presented as something built with heavy Claude involvement, plus contributions from others.
