Xuanpu is a native macOS application that combines git worktree management with AI-powered coding assistance. It allows you to work on multiple branches simultaneously without the hassle of stashing and switching.

Yes, Xuanpu is free and open source under the MIT license.

Which platforms does Xuanpu support?

Currently, Xuanpu is macOS-only (12.0 Monterey or later). Windows and Linux support are planned for future releases.

How do I install Xuanpu?

The easiest way is via Homebrew: brew tap slicenferqin/xuanpu && brew install --cask xuanpu. Alternatively, download the .dmg from GitHub Releases and double-click Install Xuanpu.command to copy it to /Applications, remove quarantine attributes, and launch it.

Do I need to know git worktrees to use Xuanpu?

No. Xuanpu handles all the worktree complexity for you. If you can use git branches, you can use Xuanpu.

Will my code be uploaded to third-party servers?

No. All AI interactions go directly between your machine and the AI provider you choose (Claude, OpenCode, etc.) over their APIs. Xuanpu does not store or relay your code to any intermediate server.

Why Xuanpu

AI coding isn't a chat log — it's an entire workfield.

When a task crosses many files, branches, agents and verification rounds, the scarce resource isn't an input box. It's a desktop environment that preserves the field, surfaces what changed, and carries the next round of work.

01

Worktree as task boundary

Each task gets its own directory, branch and runtime state. No more endless stash, switch and reload of context inside a single repo.

02

Session as execution trace

Output from Claude Code, OpenCode and Codex lands on a unified timeline. Tool calls, plans, confirmations and results stay traceable across rounds.

03

Changes as the delivery field

Changes, files, diffs and terminal output stay attached to the current task. You see not just an answer, but what this round actually changed.

Field Map

From project to PR — the field never breaks.

Xuanpu cares about the lifecycle of a real round of work: open a task field, let the agent run in the right directory, observe the changes, verify results, then wrap up branch, build and PR.

1

Pick a projectProject, linked repo and local path become the context boundary.

2

Create a worktreeOpen a disposable, isolated workfield for the current task.

3

Launch the agentLet the agent read files, edit code and run verifications inside this field.

4

Wrap up & deliverKeep the verification evidence, commit, push, open a PR — then move on.

Start on macOS. Bring your AI coding field back into one place.

Xuanpu is currently macOS-first. The DMG ships with an install helper: double-click to copy to `/Applications`, remove quarantine, and launch — cutting the friction of unsigned first-run.

GitHub Releases Source code

macOS Open the DMG and double-click `Install Xuanpu.command` to copy, de-quarantine and launch automatically.

Windows x64 / ARM64 packaging is ready. For unsigned builds, choose "Run anyway" if SmartScreen warns.

Linux A target platform — experience is still being built out.
