The record

Purpose: ELVES is a desktop app for orchestrating AI agents in isolated Git worktrees with embedded terminals.
Workflow: Users describe a task, review the resulting diff, then merge the branch or discard the worktree.
AI runtimes: ELVES works with Claude Code and OpenAI Codex.
Parallel work: Multiple concurrent sessions can run in separate tabbed workspaces called floors.
Persistent memory: SQLite-backed memory uses FTS5 search and can automatically add relevant memories to an agent’s context before a task.
Integrations: The app includes MCP server management and supports importing MCP servers from Claude.
Task attachments: A task can include up to 10 attached files totaling 500KB.
Privacy: The maker says projects, memory, and sessions are stored locally, with no cloud, accounts, or telemetry.
Notarization: The macOS app is not notarized, and the maker provides instructions for opening it despite Gatekeeper warnings.
Intended users: The landing page describes the app as built for developers who want AI to work with them.
License: ELVES is released under the MIT License.
Price from: Free
