Better Agent: a local workspace for persistent Gemini CLI, Claude, and Codex sessions

[ofekron]

Maintainer disclosure: I build Better Agent.

I wanted a way to run Gemini CLI alongside Claude and Codex without losing each provider’s native session semantics or scattering work across terminals. Better Agent is a local web workspace that keeps those sessions persistent and inspectable, supports delegated/parallel work, and lets trusted LAN clients observe the same backend-owned state.

For Gemini CLI specifically, the design keeps its provider events and session lifecycle separate rather than flattening everything into a generic chat transcript. A parent session can delegate bounded work, while recovery replays through the same state-mutation path as live execution so interrupted or restored runs remain understandable.

Current support is for Gemini CLI; I am not claiming Antigravity CLI support yet.

Tech stack: Python/FastAPI backend, React/Electron frontend.

Repository: https://github.com/ofekron/better-agent

License: source-available and free for non-commercial use; commercial use requires separate permission. Provider subscriptions/API access are separate.

I’d value feedback from Gemini CLI users on which session events, approval prompts, or recovery details matter most when supervising long-running or delegated work.
