Our take: Lanes suits developers who already use CLI coding agents like Claude Code or Codex and want to run several in parallel on separate branches and worktrees.

Main limitation: Free plan is limited to one user, no team seats

What is Lanes, and how does it work?

Lanes is an agentic development environment that runs several CLI coding agents (such as Claude Code and Codex) at once. Each agent works on its own issue, branch and worktree, tracked on an issue board. The company also offers Lanes Link, an open-source MCP endpoint, and hosted form backends. Desktop is included on every plan.
