Leaving Conductor? Bring your workspaces with you.
Agentastic imports your local Conductor workspaces where they are, with their names, pins, branches, and uncommitted changes. Your conductor.json scripts come along, and CONDUCTOR_PORT keeps working.
Native, and nothing locked behind a plan
- Native Swift, not Electron
- Agents run in GPU-accelerated Ghostty terminals, inside an app built only for the Mac.
- Chat or terminal, per agent
- Keep Conductor’s chat-first loop with a structured transcript and approval cards, or drop into the agent’s own terminal.
- Remote, cloud, and iPhone for $0
- SSH hosts, cloud agents on your own Modal, Fly.io, or Vercel account, and the iPhone beta cost nothing. You pay only your agent and cloud providers.
Conductor’s wind-down, date by date
The local app keeps working until early 2027, so local workspaces can move at your pace. Cloud workspaces can’t wait.
Sign-ups and downloads close
New users can no longer download Conductor. Existing Pro users keep Pro features for free.
Conductor Cloud goes read-only
You can still read chats and export data, but agents stop taking new messages.
Conductor Cloud shuts down
Conductor begins deleting cloud user data.
The local app winds down
Until then it keeps getting new models and critical bug fixes.
From Conductor’s announcement and 0.93.0 changelog.
What comes across, and what stays behind
Nothing changes until you choose Bring it over, and Undo Import reverts the latest import, even after a restart.
| In Conductor | In Agentastic |
|---|---|
| Local repositories | Opened from their existing checkouts. Nothing is cloned again. |
| Workspaces | Git worktrees opened at their current paths, with branches and uncommitted changes intact. |
| Names and pins | Carried over, unless you already renamed the workspace in Agentastic. |
| Archived workspaces | Archived only when Conductor marks them so. Anything uncertain lands under Needs review. |
conductor.json or .conductor/settings.toml | Setup, archive, and run commands, unchecked until you review them. |
CONDUCTOR_* variables | Set under the same names. CONDUCTOR_PORT starts a block of ten ports per worktree. |
| Chats and running agents | Not imported. Resume a saved CLI session from the checkout, or start fresh. |
| Cloud workspaces | Transfer them to local in Conductor first, then import. |

Conductor, Agentastic, and Paradev, side by side
Paradev, formerly Superset, is the other app many Conductor users are trying. Here is how the three compare on what matters when you move.
| Compared | ConductorWinding down | AgentasticNative Mac app | ParadevFormerly Superset |
|---|---|---|---|
| Status | Joining Meta. Cloud is read-only from Nov 13 and deleted from Nov 20; the local app gets fixes until early 2027. | Active. The Conductor importer shipped in 0.16.2 on Nov 4. | Active. Renamed from Superset on Oct 26. |
| App | macOS app | Native Swift, with Ghostty terminals | Electron |
| Bringing Conductor workspaces over | — | Reads Conductor’s database: repositories, workspaces, names, pins, and archive state, in one review. Undo Import reverts it. | Add each repository, then import its untracked worktrees. |
conductor.json scripts | — | Setup, archive, and run commands offered for review, then saved as native configuration. | Rewritten by hand, or by an agent, as .paradev/config.json. |
CONDUCTOR_PORT and other variables | — | Kept under the same names, with a block of ten ports per worktree. | CONDUCTOR_PORT has no equivalent; the others become SUPERSET_*. |
| Chat or terminal | Chat | Either, per agent | Either |
| iPhone app | Pro plan | Free TestFlight beta, iOS 18+ | Pro, $20 per user a month; iOS 26+ |
| Remote machines | Not available | Any SSH host, free | Remote hosts on Pro, $20 per user a month |
| Cloud agents | Conductor Cloud, shutting down | Modal, Fly.io, Vercel Sandbox, and others on your own account; Agentastic charges nothing | Managed cloud workspaces from Team, $60 per user a month |
| Schedules and triggers | Routines, on Conductor Cloud | Scheduled agents, plus Linear, Sentry, and Slack intake, free | Automations on Pro |
| Price | Closed to new users | Free. You pay your agent and cloud providers. | Free for one user working locally; Pro $20, Team $60, Ultra $200 per user a month |
| Source code | Closed | Closed | Open source (MIT) |
When Paradev is the better pick: you need an open-source (MIT) app, a Linux build, or managed cloud workspaces you don’t set up yourself.

On Conductor Cloud? Do this before Nov 20
Work that lives only in a cloud workspace is not on your Mac. Move it before deletion begins.
Push every branch
Commit everything in each cloud workspace, new files included, and push. A push leaves out Git-ignored files such as
.env, so copy those out separately.Export your data
In Conductor, Settings → Account → Export data keeps a copy of your chats. Agents stop taking messages on Nov 13.
Transfer to local
Right-click each cloud workspace you want to keep and choose Transfer to local.
Import into Agentastic
File → Import from Other Apps… picks it up like any other local workspace.
Run remotely again, on your own account
Add a machine with File → Add Remote, or a Modal, Fly.io, or Vercel Sandbox account under Settings → Cloud. Cloud agents keep running with your laptop closed. The iPhone app reaches your agents through your Mac, so keep it awake.
Questions from Conductor users
When does Conductor shut down?
In stages. Conductor stopped new sign-ups and downloads on November 4, 2026. Conductor Cloud goes read-only on November 13 and shuts down on November 20, when deletion of cloud data begins. The local Mac app keeps getting new models and critical fixes until early 2027. See Conductor’s announcement.
Does importing move or change my Conductor workspaces?
No. Agentastic reads Conductor’s local database and opens each checkout where it already is. Nothing is moved, copied, or cloned again, and no scripts run. Keep those folders, and don’t archive or delete the same workspace in Conductor afterwards, because Agentastic is using that folder. Undo Import reverts the latest import, even after a restart.
Will my conductor.json scripts and CONDUCTOR_PORT still work?
Yes, once you review them. The import offers the setup, archive, and run commands from conductor.json or .conductor/settings.toml, unchecked until you select them, and saves them as native configuration. Local worktrees get CONDUCTOR_ROOT_PATH, CONDUCTOR_WORKSPACE_PATH, CONDUCTOR_DEFAULT_BRANCH, and CONDUCTOR_PORT under the same names, with a block of ten ports each. Named actions with extra options are flagged for you to recreate.
Can I bring my Conductor chats?
Not as chats. If your agent CLI saved the session, resume it from the imported checkout, for example with claude --resume. Otherwise start a fresh conversation with a short summary of the task. Conductor’s Settings → Account → Export data keeps a copy of every chat.
I use Conductor Cloud. What should I do?
Before November 20, push every branch, copy out Git-ignored files such as .env, export your data, and choose Transfer to local on each cloud workspace you want to keep. Then import it like any local workspace. To run remotely again, add an SSH machine or a Modal, Fly.io, or Vercel Sandbox account in Agentastic.
Is Agentastic really free?
Yes. Agentastic charges nothing for the app, remote machines, cloud agents, or the iPhone beta. You pay your agent providers, such as Anthropic or OpenAI, and the cloud provider you pick. It runs on macOS 14 or later, on Apple silicon and Intel. The app is closed source.
How is Agentastic different from Paradev?
Paradev, formerly Superset, is an open-source Electron app; Agentastic is a native Swift app with Ghostty terminals. Agentastic’s importer reads Conductor’s database, translates conductor.json, and keeps CONDUCTOR_PORT, while Paradev’s migration guide has you rewrite scripts and says CONDUCTOR_PORT has no equivalent. Remote hosts, automations, and the iPhone app need Paradev Pro at $20 per user a month; in Agentastic they are free. Paradev is the better pick if you need an MIT license, Linux, or managed cloud workspaces.
Can I keep using my Claude or ChatGPT subscription?
Yes. Agentastic launches each provider’s own CLI, such as Claude Code or Codex, with the login already on your Mac, so a Claude Pro or Max plan or a ChatGPT plan keeps working and billing stays with that provider.
Start with one workspace
Import it, launch your agent, and check the diff. Conductor keeps working while you try. If something doesn’t come across, email hi@agentastic.ai and we’ll help you move it.
