Comet
Comet is an open-source cross-device control plane for coding agents. It enables users to manage and synchronize coding agent sessions across multiple machines, providing a single interface to monitor and control agent activity. The tool runs an always-on daemon that keeps agents running in the background, even when the user disconnects, ensuring long-running tasks persist and can be resumed from any device. Comet integrates with popular coding agents including Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Grok, Hermes, and Pi. This allows developers to route tasks to their preferred agent while maintaining session continuity. The control plane architecture centralizes state and offers features such as session syncing, remote monitoring, and background execution. By decoupling agent execution from the local client, Comet addresses the common pain point of losing work when switching devices or closing a terminal. It is designed for developers, DevOps teams, and AI engineers who rely on multiple coding agents and need a persistent, cross-device workflow. The project is open source and hosted on GitHub, allowing community contributions and self-hosting.

Problem solved
Comet solves the problem of fragmented coding agent workflows by providing a central control plane that syncs sessions across devices and runs an always-on daemon. This prevents lost sessions when switching machines and enables long-running agent tasks to continue unattended, with the ability to resume from any device.
Use cases
- Sync coding agent sessions across multiple workstations
- Run long-running coding tasks on a persistent daemon
- Monitor and control agent activity from a remote device
- Switch between different coding agents without losing session context
- Automate background coding tasks and review results later
- Manage multiple coding agent instances from a centralized dashboard
Audience
- Developers
- ML Engineers
- Enterprise
- Startups
