Looking for a Timon alternative?
Timon, from timon-ai.com, calls itself the agentic workstation: a desktop app and a local daemon that split your work into tasks and hand them to coding agents. AgentsRoom also runs a team of agents on your machine, each official CLI in its own terminal: 
Claude, 
Codex, 
GitHub Copilot CLI, 
Cursor and 15 other agent CLIs.
AgentsRoom runs onmacOSWindowsLinuxiOSAndroid
Below: what Timon does best, checked on timon-ai.com and in its GitHub repository on 12 November 2026, where each tool is ahead, and when you should keep Timon.
The short answer
The two tools are close: both plan work on a Kanban board, give agents roles, review their code and run them at night. Keep Timon if open source matters to you and one developer on one machine is enough. Choose AgentsRoom if you follow your agents from native phone apps, use CLIs Timon does not list, or want to send a job to a hosted cloud machine.
Keep Timon if
- You want the code public, under the AGPL-3.0 license.
- You work alone on one machine and want every feature for free.
- You want each task coded, reviewed and merged in its own worktree by default.
- You want to extend the app with plugins that add widgets and tools.
Choose AgentsRoom if
Agents, everywhere- You want native iOS and Android apps to follow and answer your agents.
- You use Cursor, Antigravity, Amp, Mistral Vibe or other CLIs Timon does not list.
- You want several accounts per CLI and a prompt library shared with your team.
- You want to send a job to a hosted cloud machine, or install a signed Windows build.
We make AgentsRoom, so read this page with that in mind. Every Timon fact below is dated and its sources are linked.
Try the real interface
This is not a video: it is AgentsRoom running in your browser, with several coding agents in one window, each with its terminal, its status and its input box.
The desktop app, in Simple mode
On a phone the demo runs the real desktop app in its Simple interface mode: one project, its agents, one prompt. The full cockpit is on your computer.
What Timon does best
Checked on 12 November 2026 on timon-ai.com and on GitHub. Timon is made in France, and its repository ai-timon/timon, opened on 6 November 2026, has about 310 stars.
Open source and free to start
The code is public under the AGPL-3.0 license, with an exception that lets plugins use any license. The Free plan covers one developer on one machine, with every core feature and no support.
An orchestrator and a board
You describe the work, an orchestrator splits it into tasks on a Kanban board and hands them to agents with roles: coder, reviewer, merger, researcher.
Worktree, review, merge
Each task is coded in its own git worktree, reviewed by a second model, then merged. Timon asks for your approval before a push, a publish or a delete.
Fallback between providers
When one subscription hits its usage limit, Timon hands the conversation to another configured provider. You can also swap models in the middle of a thread.
A daemon that keeps working
Timon runs as a system service, so work continues when the window is closed. Routines, GitHub and GitLab webhooks and an overnight queue start agents on their own.
Workflows and plugins
A canvas wires agents, conditions and scripts, with run traces you can replay. Signed plugins add widgets and tools without a restart.

Where AgentsRoom goes further
Timon and AgentsRoom share the same idea of a team of agents on your machine. These are the needs where AgentsRoom answers differently.
You are away from your desk
The iOS and Android apps show every agent of every computer, ring when one needs you and let you answer, over an end-to-end encrypted link. No local web server to expose.
Your team uses other CLIs
AgentsRoom runs 19 agent CLIs directly, Cursor, Antigravity, Amp, Mistral Vibe and Aider among them, each in a real terminal you can type into.
One subscription is not enough
Add several accounts for the same CLI. When one hits its limit, the same conversation moves to the next account, and the first one rejoins when its quota resets.
Your computer must stay free
Send a Claude Code or Codex job to a cloud machine with its own branch: 60 minutes are free, then it runs on your own Fly.io account at cost.
When Timon is the better choice
An honest comparison says when to stay. These are the cases where Timon is the right tool and AgentsRoom is not.
Open source is a requirement
Timon's code is public under AGPL-3.0, so you can read, audit and build it. The AgentsRoom desktop source is not published.
You work alone on one machine
Timon Free has no cap on projects or agents for one developer on one machine. AgentsRoom Free has caps on projects and agents in parallel.
You want worktrees everywhere
In Timon, every task gets its own worktree, a review by a second model and a merge. In AgentsRoom, worktrees are a choice per agent.
You want to extend the app
Timon has a plugin SDK under the MIT license for widgets, pages, themes and tools. AgentsRoom extends agents with skills and MCP servers, not the app itself.
Your agent speaks ACP
Timon runs any ACP agent, Ollama Cloud and custom provider plugins. If your agent is one of those and not among the CLIs AgentsRoom supports, Timon covers it.
Your own brand on the tool
Timon Pro announces white labeling and multi-user accounts with roles, on your machines. AgentsRoom does not rebrand the app.
Trying AgentsRoom after Timon
Your AI plans stay yours, and you can run both apps side by side while you decide.
Install AgentsRoom
Download it for macOS, Windows or Linux. It finds the CLIs already on your computer, and its guided installer adds the ones that are missing.
Open your repositories
Add the same project folders. Branches and worktrees created by Timon are ordinary git, so they stay where they are.
Create agents and plan
Pick a role and a CLI for each agent, then write your next tasks on the backlog. There is no automatic import of Timon tasks or memory.
