Timon Introduction
Timon is a desktop app that puts the AI coding agents you already use, such as Claude Code, Codex, Grok, GitHub Copilot, opencode and Hermes, into one window on your own machine. You describe the work and approve a plan, and tasks land on a Kanban board where each one is coded, reviewed and merged in its own git worktree, with one model writing and another reviewing. When one provider hits its usage limit, Timon hands the conversation to the next with the full context. It also has a grid of up to nine live chats, a local notes vault that the agents read and write, scheduled runs, cron routines and GitHub or GitLab webhooks as triggers, a visual workflow editor, a built-in browser, and a web interface that sends push notifications to your phone. Timon works with your own subscriptions, API keys or endpoint and does not resell model usage. The Free plan covers one developer on one machine, while Pro and Cloud plans for teams have no prices yet. Its makers announced on X in November 2026 that Timon is now open source under the AGPL-3.0 license.
