Show HN: Headwig - Run and test parallel AI agents without Git worktrees

Original text(via HN AI)

Run agents in parallel.Test changes independently.

I built Headwig to run AI coding agents side by side, and test each one’s changes independently. No juggling worktrees or dev servers. My original code stays untouched.

I’d love for you to try it. - Harsh

Installation

Opening Headwig on your Mac

Headwig is unsigned, so macOS can’t verify its developer. Only continue if you trust this download.

  • Install Headwig, then try opening it once. Dismiss the macOS warning.
  • Open System Settings → Privacy & Security. Scroll to Security and click Open Anyway for Headwig.
  • Confirm with Open when prompted. You only need to approve it the first time.

Getting started

Set up your first app

In Headwig, a Wisdom groups your app’s services so you can build and run them together. A frontend and a backend, for example, would be two services in one Wisdom.

1. Create a Wisdom

Open Headwig and click New Wisdom to create a home for your app.
