Baton

“The worktree isolation model is genuinely the right architecture for running multiple coding agents. Each agent gets its own branch, its own working directory, and its own terminal — no stashing, no conflicts, no overwritten files. The built-in diff viewer means I never have to jump between terminals to review changes. The free tier's 4-workspace limit covers most real workflows. $49 once is a bargain if this saves one hour of merge conflict debugging.”

“Baton is a convenience wrapper around git worktrees and terminal multiplexing — both of which any developer can set up in a shell script in 30 minutes. The Monaco diff viewer is nice but you already have VS Code. The free tier is genuinely limited if you're running more than 4 concurrent tasks, and paying $49 for a worktree manager feels steep when the underlying tools are all free. Windows beta support means this isn't ready for mixed teams.”

“The developer workflow of 2027 is: describe N features, spawn N agents in parallel worktrees, review diffs, merge winners. Baton is the first polished interface for that workflow. The MCP server integration — where agents can spawn new workspaces mid-task — is the killer feature that turns this from a convenience tool into an agent coordination primitive. The $49 price point makes it trivially adoptable by solo developers.”

“I ran four Claude Code agents in parallel on a feature spec and had draft implementations to compare within 25 minutes. Reviewing all four in Baton's diff viewer side-by-side is so much cleaner than switching terminal tabs. The status badges caught one agent stuck on an ambiguous prompt without me having to actively monitor it. This changed my solo development speed more than any single AI model upgrade has.”
