2.0.11Out now: see what's new

Write the task.Watch it get done.

Code Overlord is a desktop workspace where your task list runs the work. Each task gets its own AI team, using Claude Code, Codex or Gemini, and only moves on when it has proof.

The Dark Lord runs the team. You only ever talk to one.

Code Overlord 2.0.11: Thy Quill on the left with two tasks in Pending coding, Home in the middle showing both working, the Dark Lord on the right
The real app, version 2.0.11. Thy Quill, on the left, holds every task.

How it works

Every piece of work is a task.Every task walks the same board.

  1. Future
  2. Backlog
  3. Pending coding
  4. New commits to QA
  5. QA'd items
  6. Conquered
  • You: write it, start it
  • Agents: build it, test it, prove it
  • You: sign it off

  1. 1Say it

    One sentence, typed or spoken.

    Tell the Dark Lord what you want, from your desk or your phone. No prompt engineering, no long brief.

    For example: “Let people download the weekly report as a CSV file.”

    The Dark Lord's conversation, listing the tasks it is about to start and asking for a yes

  2. 2It lands on the board

    Thy Quill holds the plan.

    Every request becomes a row on one board. Ideas wait in Future and Backlog. Nothing starts until you say so.

    Thy Quill: one task in Backlog, two in Pending coding, one Conquered

  3. 3Start it

    Drag it to Pending coding. A team takes it.

    Each task gets its own lead and workers. Many tasks move at once, and Home shows every one that's working.

  4. 4It proves itself

    Build. Green. QA.

    The code has to compile, every test has to pass, and a QA record checks each thing you asked for. The receipts land on the task, readable by anyone.

  5. 5You call it done

    Conquered when you say so.

    Try it yourself, then mark it Conquered. The final call is yours.

A real day

Asked at 08:40. Conquered by 13:47.

  1. One line goes on the board: “Agents can make Spells through MCP.”
  2. The code lands on main, compiled and checked.
  3. Every test across the workspace is green.
  4. QA passes: 28 of 28 checks in the running app.
  5. Conquered, and cleared from the board.

From our own board, 7 November 2026, UK time. We build Code Overlord with Code Overlord.

What's new

Code Overlord 2.0.11

What's new in full, and every release
  • Connect and Destroy now switch Skyforge mode on and off, replacing the separate Where it runs, Target and Machine choices.
  • Resumed agents keep their original task history, making it easier to follow the same conversation when you return to unfinished work.
  • An agent that finishes starting after you mark its task Done now closes, so completed tasks no longer leave stray agents running.
  • On Android, voice notes show Heard when the transcript arrives, so they no longer stay stuck on Sending in the Dark Lord conversation.
