What is Canopy desktop app for AI agents?

Canopy manages multiple AI coding agents like Claude and Gemini across git worktrees in isolated Electron workspaces with terminals and browsers.

Does Canopy work with git worktrees?

Yes, it creates a dedicated workspace per worktree, complete with status indicators and token tracking.

Free to use, no account needed; source on GitHub but contributions internal-only for now.
