FredrinHow Fredrin compares to a DIY or Linear + Cursor setup
Fredrin is an agentic development environment: one desktop board that runs many AI coding agents in parallel. Here is how that differs from stitching the same workflow together yourself, or from pairing a tracker with a single-agent editor.
Three ways to run AI coding
Best for product orgs
Linear
Issue tracker
Best-in-class planning: cycles, triage, roadmaps. The board is one view, not the point, and agents meter on top of the seat.
Best inside the editor
Cursor
AI code editor
The sharpest inline AI coding and cloud agents. But there's no native board to run many on, and usage meters past your plan.
Best for running many agents
Fredrin
Desktop agent board
A kanban built to run, review and ship many agents at once (each ticket its own branch, worktree and PR), on a flat subscription.
What it takes to run a board of agents
The capabilities that decide whether you can run many agents at once, and which setup has them built in.
