Sculptor
The missing UI for parallel coding agents
Overview
Sculptor by Imbue is a desktop UI for running multiple Claude Code agents in parallel, each in its own isolated Docker container. Pairing Mode lets you jump between agent environments to instantly test changes without workspace switching. Selectively merge agent changes with conflict resolution, customize system prompts per project, and use devcontainer configurations. Sessions are saved with plans, chats, tool calls, and code changes intact for later resumption. Free during beta — requires an Anthropic API key or Claude Pro/Max plan.
Pricing: Free and open source (MIT) - requires your own Claude Pro/Max plan or Anthropic API key. Intel Mac and Windows support in progress.
Architecture: Apple Silicon
