AgentHydra vs opcode (formerly Claudia) in 2026

Q: Do opcode and AgentHydra collect or send data?

opcode says all data stays on your machine and that it has no data collection or tracking . AgentHydra's claims here do not describe data collection. If data leaving the machine matters in your setting, ask how each tool handles telemetry and what access your agents have to your system before choosing.

opcode is a GUI app and Toolkit for Claude Code ^[1], while AgentHydra shows your Claude Code, Codex and OpenCode sessions in one searchable list ^[2]. opcode's page describes creating custom agents and managing interactive Claude Code sessions ^[1], and AgentHydra describes cost at API list prices ^[2], pairing of failed commands with fixes ^[2] and MCP tools ^[2]. opcode's page does not publish a dollar price for the project itself ^[1], and AgentHydra is free, with no account or subscription ^[2]. opcode's release executables are not yet published ^[1], while the AgentHydra tray app needs Windows and its macOS and Linux builds exist but have not been verified ^[2].

Option	Platform	Install	Price
opcode (formerly Claudia)	Windows 10/11, macOS 11+, or Linux (Ubuntu 20.04+) ^[1]	Install steps not stated; release executables will be published soon ^[1]	Price not published; open source under the AGPL License ^[1]
AgentHydra	Tray app needs Windows; macOS and Linux builds exist but not verified ^[2]	One-line PowerShell script on Windows, or a build from GitHub Releases, or run from source with Bun ^[2]	Free, with no account or subscription ^[2]

The short answer

opcode is a GUI app and Toolkit for Claude Code ^[1]. AgentHydra lets a developer see the Claude Code, Codex and OpenCode sessions on the machine in one searchable list ^[2]. opcode's sources describe creating custom agents, managing interactive Claude Code sessions and running secure background agents ^[1]. AgentHydra's claims describe cost tracking at API list prices ^[2], pairing of failed commands with fixes ^[2] and MCP tools for agents ^[2]. opcode is not affiliated with Anthropic ^[1] and keeps all data on the machine ^[1]. AgentHydra is free with no account or subscription ^[2].

What opcode (formerly Claudia) is built for

opcode calls itself a GUI app and Toolkit for Claude Code ^[1]. Its pages describe creating custom agents, managing interactive Claude Code sessions and running secure background agents ^[1]. It is built with Tauri 2 ^[1], runs agents in separate processes for isolation ^[1], and keeps all data on the machine ^[1]. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Anthropic ^[1]. Release executables will be published soon ^[1]. It needs Windows 10/11, macOS 11+, or Linux (Ubuntu 20.04+) ^[1], at least 4GB of RAM with 8GB recommended ^[1], and at least 1GB of free storage ^[1]. It manages interactive Claude Code sessions ^[1] and stores data locally ^[1].

What AgentHydra is built for

AgentHydra is made by the team that publishes this site.

It shows the Claude Code, Codex and OpenCode sessions on your machine in one searchable list, updated live while they run ^[2]. You can type a reply into a Claude session's own desktop chat, or send one message to several sessions ^[2]. It can move a Claude chat, history included, to another of your accounts ^[2].

It splits a task's pieces across Claude Code CLI sessions on your accounts, and moves a worker to another account when one nears its limit ^[2]. It shows cost at API list prices by day, model, project and account ^[2]. It pairs each failed shell command with the command that fixed it, and can copy those pairs out as a rules file for your agents ^[2]. It lists each Claude and Codex account with its plan and 5-hour and weekly quota, and can open, focus, quit, create and delete Claude Desktop instances ^[2].

It exposes its features as MCP tools, including whoami and usage checks so an agent knows which account it is on and how much quota is left ^[2]. It packs a task and its repository into a Markdown file, leaving out common secret files, then copies a prompt and opens ChatGPT for you to send yourself ^[2]. It prints the same cost numbers as JSON from the command line ^[2]. It is free, with no account or subscription ^[2].

Pricing and fees

The opcode page gives no dollar price for opcode itself. opcode is licensed under the AGPL License, and no dollar price is published for it. opcode's own page says nothing about fees beyond the license, so the project's price is not published here.

AgentHydra is free, with no account or subscription ^[2]. It is open source under the MIT License ^[2]. No paid tier price is stated in its claims.

Neither page publishes a paid plan price ^[2]. opcode's price is not published, and AgentHydra is free, with no account or subscription ^[2].

Setting it up and daily use

opcode does not say how it is installed in the facts provided. Its page notes release executables will be published soon ^[1], and says nothing about a current stable build being available for download. It requires Windows 10/11, macOS 11+, or Linux (Ubuntu 20.04+) ^[1].

AgentHydra's claims say the tray app needs Windows ^[2]. On Windows, it is installed with a one-line PowerShell script, or by downloading a build from GitHub Releases, or running it from source with Bun ^[2]. macOS and Linux builds exist but have not been verified ^[2].

For opcode, the facts do not give installation steps or routine use details. For AgentHydra, the tray app needs Windows ^[2]. Neither tool's sources describe a routine workflow beyond what each page lists.

Things to check before you choose

Ask which AI coding sessions and tools you actually use each day. opcode's page describes Claude Code sessions and custom agents ^[1], and check whether it covers the others you use, while AgentHydra's claims cover Claude Code, Codex and OpenCode sessions in one list ^[2].

Check your operating system. opcode lists Windows 10/11, macOS 11+, or Linux (Ubuntu 20.04+) ^[1], while AgentHydra's tray app needs Windows and its macOS and Linux builds have not been verified ^[2].

Check what is available to run. opcode's release executables are not yet published ^[1], so ask how and when you would run it. Check your machine resources: opcode needs at least 4GB of RAM with 8GB recommended ^[1].

Check data handling. opcode keeps all data locally ^[1]. Check where agent replies go and which accounts control sessions you do not expect.

How to choose

If you want a GUI app and Toolkit for Claude Code, opcode's page describes that ^[1]. If you want custom agents and background agents, its page lists them ^[1]. If you want data kept on your machine, its page says all data stays there ^[1], and it says no data collection or tracking ^[1].

If you want one searchable list of Claude Code, Codex and OpenCode sessions, AgentHydra's claims describe that ^[2]. Its cost-at-API-list-prices tracking ^[2] and quota checks for accounts ^[2] are also there.

If you work mainly with Claude Code, opcode is built for it ^[1], and AgentHydra also handles Claude sessions directly ^[2]. If you need to split a task across accounts, AgentHydra's claims describe that ^[2]. If cost is a concern, AgentHydra shows costs at API list prices ^[2].

If you want to install today, opcode's release executables will be published soon ^[1], so check its page first.
