Orbit
Add tasks from your phone. AI agents build them in parallel

I kept losing track of which AI agent was waiting on me, so I built a desktop app
opens on the failure being you, not the agents - an agent idling for an hour while you stare at a different terminal, two agents mangling the same file. Then the three decisions that actually matter to a technical reader: a real second working copy per task rather than branch-switching, merges computed with git merge-tree so your checkout is never touched, and "done" as a gate that runs your own tests rather than a status the agent reports. It closes with the queue-not-dashboard idea, and the detail that Orbit was built by agents running inside Orbit, so a broken merge lane stopped your own work.

The “queue, not dashboard” distinction is a strong one.
Especially because it came from the failure mode you were experiencing yourself rather than being added as another layer of agent tooling.
Seems like a legit problem to be solved. I can do a live video review with honest reactions and feedback?
