Continue and OpenCode are tools a developer may see when looking at AI coding session managers, but no facts about either are given here, so this page says what to check on their own pages. AgentHydra, made by the team that publishes this site, shows Claude Code, Codex and OpenCode sessions on your machine in one searchable list [1].

The short answer

Continue and OpenCode are names that come up when a developer looks for tools that work alongside AI coding sessions. No facts about what either does are given here, so this page cannot say what needs each meets from its own sources. AgentHydra, made by the team that publishes this site, 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]. To decide between these tools, check Continue and OpenCode on their own pages for what they do, since no facts are given here for either.

What Continue, OpenCode is built for

No facts about Continue are given here, so nothing can be stated about what it is built for from its own pages. The same is true for OpenCode. When no facts are provided for a tool, the reader should check its own pages to learn what it does, what it costs and how it is set up. This page will not guess what either tool does or for whom it is suited. What can be said is that AgentHydra lists OpenCode sessions among the sessions it tracks on your machine [1], which means OpenCode sessions are something AgentHydra can see while it runs. For what OpenCode itself does, check its own documentation. For what Continue itself does, check its own documentation.

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 CLI sessions 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 as MCP tools, including whoami and usage checks so an agent knows 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

No facts about Continue's price are given here, so it is not published here. No facts about OpenCode's price are given here, so it is not published here. AgentHydra is free, with no account or subscription [1]. It is open source under the MIT License [1]. Neither Continue nor OpenCode has facts here describing any account, trial, discount or paid tier, so none is stated here. If you need the cost of Continue or OpenCode for your own use, check their own pages, since no price is given for either in the facts here.

Setting it up and daily use

No facts about installing or setting up Continue are given here, so nothing is stated about its setup or routine use. The same is true for OpenCode. AgentHydra, on Windows, installs with a one-line PowerShell script, or you download a build from GitHub Releases or run from source with Bun [1]. The tray app needs Windows; macOS and Linux builds exist but have not been verified [1]. It is free, with no account or subscription to set up [1]. It shows cost at API list prices by day, model, project and account [1], and prints those numbers as JSON from the command line [1]. The facts here say nothing more about setup or routine use for Continue or OpenCode, so check their own pages for anything further.

Things to check before you choose

Ask what you need the tool to do with AI coding sessions. AgentHydra shows Claude Code, Codex and OpenCode sessions in one searchable list, updated live [1], so check whether Continue or OpenCode offers a similar view if that matters. Ask whether you need to reply to sessions or move chats between accounts. AgentHydra lets you type a reply into a Claude session's own desktop chat [1] and moves a Claude chat to another of your accounts [1], so check what Continue and OpenCode say about that on their own pages. Ask whether you need cost tracking; AgentHydra shows cost at API list prices by day, model, project and account [1]. Check whether either tool charges for use; AgentHydra is free [1], and no price is given here for Continue or OpenCode.

How to choose

A developer who needs to see Claude Code, Codex and OpenCode sessions in one list, updated live, has a tool whose sources say it does that in AgentHydra [1]. A developer who needs to send a reply to a Claude session or to several at once has a tool whose sources say it does that in AgentHydra [1]. A developer who needs to move a Claude chat between accounts has a tool whose sources say it does that in AgentHydra [1]. A developer who needs cost at API list prices by day, model, project and account has a tool whose sources say it shows that in AgentHydra [1]. For what Continue does, its own pages are the source to check, since no facts are given here. For what OpenCode does, its own pages are the source to check, since no facts are given here.
