Basics
What is DevMayor?
A Mac app for running AI coding agents across several projects. Projects are buildings in an isometric town; agents are people you hire, give tasks and watch work — with plans, approvals, diffs and merges in one place.
Who is it for?
Developers and technical leads who already use Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI or OpenCode and want several agents working on several projects at once without juggling terminals.
Which platforms are supported?
macOS on Apple silicon during early access.
Accounts and cost
Do I need an API key?
No. Agents run through the CLI you are already signed in to, so work counts against your Claude, ChatGPT or Google plan. API keys for about 30 platforms are optional.
How do I know what I am spending?
Every task shows its tokens and what it would cost at API prices. For Claude subscriptions, plan usage meters show how much of the 5-hour and weekly windows is used.
Can I mix providers?
Yes. Each agent picks its own AI account and model — a Claude Opus reviewer next to a Haiku coder and a DeepSeek researcher.
Working with agents
Can agents break my repository?
With a branch per task, each task runs in its own git worktree; nothing reaches your main branch until you merge it. Agents cannot push.
What does the mayor do?
It is a built-in chief of staff. It knows every project, writes and starts tickets, follows up with agents and hires when nobody fits. It cannot approve, merge, commit or push for you.
Can several agents work on one project?
Yes. Each works on its own branch, and the project page lists the branches waiting for review.
Can I approve things from my phone?
Yes. Pair a Telegram or Discord bot and approvals, results and mayor answers come to that chat.
What happens when I close the app?
Agents keep working; the runner is a separate process. Use “Stop all agents and quit” to stop everything.
Privacy
Does my code go to DevMayor?
No. There is no DevMayor cloud. Code goes only to the AI provider you chose, through its own CLI or API.
Where are my keys stored?
In the macOS Keychain. Agents get them only in their process environment for the duration of a run.
