Plan
Plan where the work happens
The plan and its result stay together in their own node, so they're easy to reference when implementation starts.
The 
Future of Agentic Coding Is Here
Your flow deserves more than a chat and a sidebar. Director puts your coding agents on a canvas — planning, building, and reviewing in parallel, each in its own git worktree.

Direct your agents
See the whole operation
Manage your agents, issues, plans, reviews, and their shared context from one cohesive canvas. Hand off work from one agent to the other, keep your workspaces clean.
Manage your context on a freeform canvas.

Review
Review the change in place
Inspect the affected files and every changed line before you accept the result in your current workspace.
Repository
Your repo stays within reach
Browse your project tree and its files when you need to, without breaking the flow of the work.
Workspaces
Workspace controls that feel at home
Director is 100% native. The gestures and interactions you'd expect from a Mac app are all there. Naturally.
Why “Director”
One agent plans. Another builds. A third reviews.You direct.
The working tagline was “meet your new engineering team.” Couldn't say it with a straight face, but after a week of shipping, it doesn't feel that far off.
Under the hood
A real tool for real engineers
The parts that matter when you run agents on a real codebase, every day.
One worktree per workspace
Every node gets an isolated checkout. Agents work on real branches side by side, without stepping on each other's changes.
~/.director/checkouts/your-app/new-ui
Parallel by default
Run as many threads as your machine can hold, and fan subagents out under a single node.

Native, down to the pixel
Director is a real Mac app, not Electron slop. 120fps across the board, however big the canvas graph gets.

Your repo, codified
Drop a director.json in the repo root and everyone on the team gets the same setup scripts, base branch, and review preferences.
{
"scripts": {
"setup": "pnpm install",
"run": "pnpm dev"
},
"git": { "baseBranch": "origin/main" },
"preferences": {
"codeReviewPreferences": "Focus on correctness and tests."
}
}Issues in, pull requests out
Pull GitHub and Linear issues onto the canvas, then open, review, and merge PRs with the gh auth you already have. No extra tokens to manage.

The vocabulary
Everything on the canvas is a node
Nine kinds, one goal. Connect them, and context flows downstream to whoever needs it — human or agent.
Plan
Sketch the approach before an agent touches code.
Code
An implementation agent with a job to do.
Review
A second pass over the diff before it ships.
Subagent
Fan a task out and collect the results.
Pull Request
Open, review, and merge without leaving.
GitHub Issue
Pull work in with its full context attached.
Linear Issue
Your backlog, live on the canvas.
Note
Markdown that stays where the work is.
Routing
For when things need to be extra tidy.
And then some
All the small things
The stuff you notice in week two.

When the task is fuzzy, agents ask first — pick an answer and they carry on.

Per node — finer-grained, less churn
Per graph — coarser, simpler
