Maestri is a macOS-native app that places terminals, AI coding agents, markdown notes, files, and sketches on an infinite spatial canvas so multiple agents can be orchestrated at once. It is not an AI agent itself but a canvas and orchestration layer that sits around existing coding agents like Claude Code, Codex, or OpenCode. Agents can connect to and prompt each other directly, be assigned roles, write to notes, and be watched over by an on-device AI companion called Ombro.
What it's for
Orchestrating multiple AI coding agents at once on one canvasConnecting terminals so agents can prompt and hand off work to each otherSketching architecture diagrams and drawing flows next to running agentsAssigning reusable roles with custom instructions to agentsScheduling prompts to run on agents at set intervalsGiving agents an embedded browser (Portal) to click, type, screenshot, and navigateCapturing agent progress notes automatically via connected sticky notesCreating isolated copies of a workspace (Floors) to work on branches or try risky changesOpening a project directly in an external code editor from the canvas
