- Git worktrees, session forking, MCP and skill attach from the CLI.
- Many more agents, including Gemini CLI, OpenCode and Copilot.
- A conductor session you can message from your phone through a bot.
Where Overvibe is the better pick
- The browser page is the main interface, with drag-and-drop files, copy on select and a command palette.
- Choice prompts on an agent's screen show up as dialogs you answer from the page.
- The sidebar keeps your saved project order and pins and never reorders by itself.
- Runs agy (Google Antigravity CLI).
Questions
Is Overvibe the same as Agent Deck?
No. Overvibe was called Agent Deck during development. asheshgoplani/agent-deck is an unrelated MIT project, a Go TUI for tmux agent sessions, with its own maintainer.
Is Overvibe an alternative to agent-deck?
Yes, if you are on a Mac and prefer a browser page to a TUI. Both run real CLIs in tmux and let one session send prompts to another. agent-deck has worktrees, forking and Linux support; Overvibe has prompt dialogs, per-folder Claude accounts and agy.
Does agent-deck work with Codex?
Yes. Its tool table lists Codex with status detection, MCP, conductor and fork support, and Codex status uses Codex's notify hook (agent-deck codex-hooks install).
