Pushary

Honest comparison

Conductor moves your agents into its app.
Pushary reaches them where they already run.

Conductor is a Mac app for running Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and OpenCode in parallel, and its Pro plan adds cloud workspaces you can drive from an iPhone. Pushary works with the agents already running on your computer: when one needs a yes, the request shows up on your lock screen.

The real question

Conductor wants your agents inside its app, or inside its cloud. Pushary stays out of the way: you keep running your agents where you run them today, and their questions come to your phone. If you run many agents at your Mac and ship from one place, Conductor is built for that. If you want your agents to reach you the moment they need a yes, and to answer in seconds from your phone, Pushary is.

Pushary is for you if:

  • You want to answer an agent from your lock screen, not open an app and find the chat
  • You want the agents on your own computer to reach you, with no move to a cloud
  • You use Windows or Linux, or an Android phone
  • You run more than one kind of agent: Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI, Antigravity CLI, Devin CLI
  • You want rules that remember: always allow a tool like Bash in this repo, while risky commands still ask

Conductor is for you if:

  • You want to run many agents in parallel, each in its own git worktree
  • You review diffs, open pull requests and merge from one Mac app
  • You want agents to keep working in a cloud sandbox with your laptop closed
  • Your code is on GitHub and you use a Mac and an iPhone
  • Your company wants a vendor with SOC 2, and SSO on an enterprise plan

Why it matters

Answer from the lock screen

When an agent needs a yes, Pushary's notification says what it wants to run. On iPhone you approve with Face ID without opening the app, and Deny is one tap on iPhone and Android. Risky commands still open the app. Conductor's phone app is for chatting with cloud agents, and its docs do not describe approving a tool call from a notification.

Your agents stay where they are

Conductor reaches your phone only for agents you have moved into Conductor Cloud, which works with GitHub repos, runs in one US region and comes with the $50 a month Pro plan. Agents in the Mac app are controlled from the Mac app. Pushary plugs into the agents you already use, on macOS, Windows or Linux, and works with an iPhone or an Android phone.

Rules that remember, and a record

Conductor's tool approvals are one switch, off by default, plus an experimental auto mode. In Pushary you can allow a command for the session, or a tool like Bash for this repo or the whole workspace, straight from the approval, and risky shell commands like rm -rf keep asking. Every question and answer is kept, with export on Agent Pro.

Where Conductor wins

Conductor is the better tool for running many agents at once and shipping their work: isolated worktrees, diff review, pull requests and merge, multiplayer, an API, and a cloud that keeps agents running with your laptop shut. It is free on the Mac and ships updates every week. Pushary does not run or host your agents. It makes the ones you already run reachable.

Frequently asked questions

What is Conductor?

Conductor (conductor.build, by Melty Labs) is a Mac app that runs Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and OpenCode agents in parallel, each in its own workspace and git branch, so you can review their diffs, open pull requests and merge. The Mac app is free. The $50 a month Pro plan adds Conductor Cloud, where agents run in cloud sandboxes on GitHub repos, plus multiplayer, an API and an iPhone app.

Pushary vs Conductor: what is the real difference?

Conductor is where your agents run: in its Mac app, or in its cloud on the Pro plan. Pushary does not run your agents. It plugs into the agents you already run on your own computer, on macOS, Windows or Linux, and brings their questions to your phone, so you can approve or deny from the notification. Pushary also keeps rules that remember your answers and a record of every decision.

Does Conductor have a mobile app?

Yes. Since September 2026 there is an iPhone app (iOS 26 or later) on the $50 a month Pro plan. It works with Conductor Cloud workspaces: you can start tasks, chat with agents, review code and merge from your phone. There is no Android app, and agents running in the Mac app on your own computer are controlled from the Mac app only.

Can I approve a Conductor agent from my phone?

Only agents in Conductor Cloud, through the iPhone app on the Pro plan, where you chat with them. Conductor's docs do not describe approving a tool call from a notification, and its tool approvals are a single switch that is off by default. Pushary sends approvals from the agents on your own computer to your lock screen, where you can approve with Face ID on iPhone or deny with one tap.

Does Conductor work on Windows or Linux?

No. Conductor's desktop app is Mac only, and its phone app is iPhone only. Pushary works with agents on macOS, Windows and Linux, and has phone apps for iPhone and Android.

Can I use both Conductor and Pushary?

Yes, for different jobs. Use Conductor to run many agents in parallel and merge their work, and Pushary for the agents you run in your own terminal or editor, so they can reach you when you step away. We have not tested Pushary inside Conductor's own chats, which run Conductor's bundled copy of each agent.
