Honest comparison
Conductor is a free Mac app for running parallel Claude Code and Codex agents in isolated worktrees. Pushary is the layer that lets you approve, deny, and unblock them from your phone, on any OS, under policies you set once.
These are not really the same product. Conductor is a desktop orchestrator for running many agents while you sit at your Mac. Pushary is the away-from-desk control plane: it gets you off the chair and still in control. Many people will want both.
Conductor approvals are desktop prompts: when an agent is blocked, you have to be at the Mac to clear it. Pushary pushes that decision to your phone, so a long task does not sit idle while you are at lunch or away from your desk. Tap to approve, and the agent keeps going.
Conductor is a Mac-only app. Pushary works on macOS, Windows, and Linux, and delivers to any phone through web push, with no native app to install. If your team is not all on Macs, that matters.
Conductor asks for manual approval per action and does not document a per-tool policy engine or an audit log. Pushary lets you set the rules once (auto-approve safe reads, push on Bash, always deny rm -rf) and keeps an immutable, exportable record of every decision. That is the difference between approving in the moment and governing over time.
Conductor is a polished, free, native Mac app built for one job and doing it well: running many Claude Code and Codex agents in parallel, each in its own git worktree, with first-class diff review and merge. As a desktop orchestrator it is excellent. Pushary is not trying to replace that. It adds the phone, the policy, and the audit on top.

Conductor (conductor.build, by Melty Labs) is a free Mac app that runs multiple Claude Code and Codex agents in parallel, each in an isolated git worktree, so you can see what each is doing and then review and merge their changes. It is a desktop tool: you work at the Mac.
Conductor maximizes how many agents you can run while sitting at your Mac. Pushary lets you leave your desk: approve a blocked agent from your phone, on any OS, under per-tool policies, with an audit trail of every decision. They do different jobs, and they work well together.
No. Conductor is a Mac desktop app with manual, in-app approvals and no mobile or remote surface, so you have to be at the Mac to approve. Pushary sends the approval to your phone and lets you answer from your lock screen.
No, Conductor is Mac-only. Pushary works on macOS, Windows, and Linux, and delivers to any phone through web push, with no native app to install.
Yes, and it is a good combination. Run your parallel agents in Conductor on your Mac, and use Pushary to get notified and approve from your phone when one of them is blocked and you are away from your desk.
Approve from your phone on any OS, set guardrails once, and keep an exportable audit trail. Works with Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Hermes, and any MCP client. 7-day free trial.
