Problem Solved
What problem does Emdash solve?
For developers who work with coding agents like Claude Code and Codex. Running one agent at a time in a single checkout means waiting on each task, and switching between agent CLIs, issue trackers, browsers and PR tools adds friction. Emdash gives each task its own Git worktree with its own agent, terminal, branch and review state, and lets you pull issues in, preview the app, review diffs and open PRs from one place. Example: a developer pulls a failing-CI issue from Linear and a PR review request, and runs both agents at once in separate worktrees.
