Published June 13, 2026 under Apache 2.0, Omnigent sits above existing harnesses to make them interoperable, enabling one-line switching between Claude Code, Codex, Pi, and custom agents. It adds contextual security policies (e.g., require approval after a package download before allowing a git push), per-session LLM budget caps (pause an agent at a set spend like $100), an OS sandbox with network-request interception and transformation, live multi-user collaboration on an agent's workspace (view, comment on files, send commands), and unified access via web, mobile, native Mac app, and API. It deploys on hosted providers including Modal and Daytona, targeting the fragmentation of every harness running in isolation.
