Why it mattersRunning two or three coding agents at once means switching windows all day to check on them. Agent Clan moves that check into a glance and a gesture.
A developer running two or three coding agents at once still ⌘Tabs through their terminals every few minutes. Someone is always waiting on a permission prompt. Agent Clan launched on Product Hunt this week. It puts each Claude Code or Codex agent on the Mac desktop as a small 3D character. The maker is independent developer 鄭策 (TSETSE). The app is free on any Mac with a webcam.
The gesture language is three moves. Open your hand and make a fist. The characters appear on screen. Pinch and pull toward one, and that agent is selected. Let go and speak the task. Permission prompts normally hide inside a terminal window. In Agent Clan they come up as popups. The user accepts by pulling right, or declines by pulling left. Mouse and keyboard still work for anybody who wants them.
What runs locally, and what does not
Agent Clan's homepage says the hand tracking and speech-to-text both run on the user's computer. The hand tracking is built on Google's MediaPipe. The speech-to-text uses OpenAI's Whisper. The camera frames never leave the Mac. The agent calls themselves still need the internet. Claude Code and Codex send their prompts to Anthropic's and OpenAI's own servers. The developer is clear that Agent Clan is independent. It is not endorsed by Anthropic or OpenAI.
The design came from one problem the maker named on Product Hunt. He kept switching windows to check on his Claude Code sessions while watching or reading something else. His fix was to turn each agent into a small 3D character he could run with his hands. The app had 88 upvotes on Product Hunt when this was written.
Price, platforms and what the free plan leaves out
Agent Clan is free on Mac. A Pro upgrade is listed at US$14. The site says that is a launch price, down from US$19. The payment is one-time and covers a year of updates. The free plan is limited to one project and up to two agents. Pro adds unlimited projects and agents. It also adds custom characters and a feature called Mods. Mods let a user ask an agent to change Agent Clan itself. The app then decides whether to apply the change. Mods are listed as Claude Code only for now. Codex cannot create them yet. The site lists support for always-on assistants as planned. That group includes ChatGPT Dots, Grok Bot and Claude Duet. None of it is in the app today.
Only the Mac build is downloadable today. Windows is listed on the page but has no download link next to it. The app is closed source. The measurements shown on the site are the developer's own. Nothing independent has been published. A team can try it with a real workload inside the free tier. That is enough to judge whether two agents at once needs more.
A coding agent that waits on the user has a cost. That cost grows with the number of agents a developer runs in parallel. A small interface that pulls the waiting into a corner of the desktop changes how much attention each agent needs. The webcam is pointed at your face all day, which is the trade. Each team can judge the trade after a week with the free tier.
