The short answer

This page compares Continue and Goose, but the facts available for it do not describe what either one does, so this page does not say what they do. A developer comparing them should read each tool's own site and look for where it works and which tasks it is meant for.

AgentHydra shows Claude Code, Codex and OpenCode sessions on your machine in one searchable list, updated live while they run [1]. It also lets you type a reply into a Claude session's own desktop chat, or send one message to several sessions [1].

What Continue and Goose are built for

The facts available for this page include no verified description of Continue or Goose, so this section does not say what either tool is built for. Any description written here would be a guess, and a developer should not rely on a guess.

To learn what Continue is built for, read its own website and documentation. To learn what Goose is built for, read its own website and documentation. On each site, look for where the tool works, which tasks it is meant for, and what it needs before you start.

What AgentHydra is built for

AgentHydra is made by the team that publishes this site. It shows Claude Code, Codex and OpenCode sessions on your machine in one searchable list, updated live while they run [1]. It lets you type a reply into a Claude session's own desktop chat, or send one message to several sessions [1]. It moves a Claude chat, history included, to another of your accounts [1]. It splits a task's pieces across Claude Code sessions started from the command line on your accounts, and moves a worker to another account when one nears its limit [1]. It shows cost at API list prices by day, model, project and account [1]. 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 [1]. 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 [1]. It exposes its features to AI agents as tools, including checks that tell an agent which account it is on and how much quota is left [1]. 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 [1]. It prints the same cost numbers as JSON from the command line [1].

Pricing and fees

The facts available for this page do not state a price for Continue or Goose, so no price is given for either here. Check each tool's own site for its cost before you decide.

Setting it up and daily use

The facts available for this page do not describe how to install or use Continue or Goose, so this section says nothing about either. Their own sites are the place to check the steps.

On Windows, AgentHydra installs with a one-line PowerShell script, or you can download a build from GitHub Releases or run it from source with Bun [1]. The tray app needs Windows, and macOS and Linux builds exist but have not been verified [1]. AgentHydra is free, with no account or subscription to set up [1]. In daily use, it shows sessions in one live searchable list [1], and you can reply to a Claude session or send one message to several [1].

Things to check before you choose

Ask where you want the tool to work: inside your editor, in the terminal, or alongside the sessions you already run. The facts available for this page do not say where Continue or Goose work, so check each site for that.

Ask whether you need several running sessions in one list. AgentHydra shows Claude Code, Codex and OpenCode sessions that way [1], and this page cannot say whether Continue or Goose does the same.

Ask which operating system you use. The AgentHydra tray app needs Windows, and its macOS and Linux builds have not been verified [1].

Ask whether you need cost by account or model. AgentHydra shows cost at API list prices by day, model, project and account [1].

Ask whether the tool needs an account before you start. AgentHydra is free with no account or subscription [1], and the setup steps for Continue and Goose are on their own sites.

How to choose

Start from your own task, then check which tool's sources say it meets that need. This page cannot match Continue or Goose to a need, because no verified facts about them are available here, so read each site first.

If you need to see several Claude Code, Codex and OpenCode sessions in one searchable list, and to reply to Claude sessions, AgentHydra's own description says it does that [1] [1].

If you need cost by day, model, project and account at API list prices, AgentHydra's own description says it shows that [1].

If you need to move a Claude chat, history included, to another of your accounts, AgentHydra's claims say it does that [1].

If you need to see each Claude and Codex account with its plan and quota, AgentHydra's claims say it lists those [1].

If you need a tool that works inside your editor or in the terminal, this page cannot say which of Continue or Goose fits, so read each one's own site.
