For a while, I had active subscriptions to Codex, Cursor, Grok, Devin, Antigravity, Kimi, and StepFun, running them across the cloud and five local machines.
My main requirement was to keep each model running inside its official harness to get the best performance while staying compliant with their Terms of Service. Under the hood, they can all be invoked via CLI, but they often have to run in headless mode to work reliably. Because of that, I can't see the logs for sub-conversations or child threads, nor can I track the file changes they make or the reasoning behind them. So I wanted a unified setup that connects these harnesses over the ACP protocol, letting models in different environments communicate while a central orchestrator routes tasks to the right model.
I tried (Tailscale +) Devin and Cursor over SSH Remote, tmux, herdr, and luvus before settling on Lody. It handles cross-harness control on a single machine as well as across all my devices. Having a UI is also more comfortable than working purely in the terminal, and I don't need to memorize another set of keyboard shortcuts. The project is open-source, and the maintainers were quick to respond when I opened a few issues. Unlocking the full feature set requires a subscription, which I think is worth it and makes for a sustainable business model.
Orca, Paseo, and T3 Code are also positioned in a similar space, though I haven't tested them extensively. All of them are worth a try.
