Grove gives parallel AI coding sessions separate Mac worktrees

This free, open-source macOS menu-bar utility groups worktrees across repositories to prevent competing agents from trampling each other.

Grove 0.2.2, released October 14, is a Mac menu-bar and command-line tool for developers using Claude Code across multiple repositories. It creates one workspace containing coordinated git worktrees for a feature, so separate coding sessions can run on isolated branches.

That is useful when developing Wake Up, HomeControl and small ESP32 projects in parallel, particularly if an agent is testing a risky refactor while another fixes a bug. Isolation can protect the working branch from overlapping edits, although it does not replace code review or tests.

The project states that it is free, GPL-licensed, Apple Silicon only, and requires macOS 26 or later. Before installing, confirm the MiniMac operating-system version and make a disposable test repository. It is aimed at Claude Code rather than Cursor specifically, so evaluate fit before changing a working setup.

What to do: Check Mac compatibility and try Grove in a disposable multi-repository project.
