Overview
Singularity is a desktop Agentic Development Environment (ADE) from the French team Meteor Factory that reframes how you work with coding agents. Instead of a long chat thread where context fills up and the agent drifts, every task—a feature, bug, or refactor—becomes an atomic ticket with one scope, one isolated Git worktree, and one agent that sees only the files it needs. You review the resulting diff and merge, exactly like a normal pull request.
The win is parallelism without chaos. Because each ticket lives in its own worktree, you can run several agents across different repositories at once—the makers report up to eight running simultaneously internally—without one task leaking context into another. A single request can even open sub-tickets across the projects it touches and collect the commits into one review. It bundles a code editor, terminal, Git client, and a kanban board into one app, with native notifications when an agent finishes or fails. It is local-first and self-hostable: your code, tickets, and context stay on your machine, and only the calls to your own LLM provider (Claude, Codex, Copilot, Gemini) leave, using your own API key. A beta Pipelines plugin can watch CI and auto-open repair tickets on failure. In our evaluation, the ticket-as-unit-of-work stance is the most credible answer we’ve seen to the ‘context black hole’ problem, especially for solo developers who have no second reviewer.

Comparison
Against Cursor, Singularity is not trying to be a smarter editor—it is an orchestrator that runs agents on scoped tickets, so the review step happens on a diff instead of inside a running chat. Compared with Claude Code, which lives in a terminal and works on the whole repo, Singularity’s worktree isolation prevents parallel runs from colliding. If you prefer a fully open-source terminal agent you can self-host anywhere, OpenCode is the lighter-weight cousin; Singularity adds the desktop workbench and ticket board on top.
