opayaChoose OPAYA for agent operations
Use a visual workspace to connect machines, inspect agents, manage configuration and handle updates, backups and clones. It is particularly useful when your work spans a desktop, a VPS and Docker.

OPAYA vs Agent Deck
A visual workspace or a terminal-first setup. Both can handle multiple agents; the useful difference is how you want to work.
THE SHORT VERSION
Different priorities. A better fit for your workflow.
Choose Agent Deck for a terminal-first workflow
Agent Deck is an MIT-licensed terminal session manager built around tmux. Its documentation covers agent status, session forking, git worktrees, MCP management and remote instances over SSH.
| Your workflow | OPAYA | Agent Deck |
|---|---|---|
| Starting point | Manage agents, configuration and machines visually. | Organize AI coding sessions in a terminal interface. |
| Interface | Native desktop workspace; remote-agent web access. | TUI built with tmux, plus an optional web mode. |
| Remote work | Connect your VPS over SSH and manage remote agents. | Register and browse remote Agent Deck instances over SSH. |
| Daily workflow | Inspect, update, clone, back up and move agents. | Session status, forks, worktrees and MCP controls. |
| What to try | Move one agent configuration to a test server. | Run parallel coding sessions in separate worktrees. |

THE OPAYA WORKFLOW
See the machine behind the agent.
When your next task is maintaining an agent rather than prompting it, its machine, configuration and recovery path matter.
Try the coding workflow
Try the same task in both.
Pick one real task on a test project: connect an agent, inspect its state, change one setting and verify the result. Compare the steps you need, the permissions involved and how you recover if something fails. Keep the tool that fits your day-to-day work.
