When Baton is worth it for OpenCode

Baton is useful here if you want the freedom of an open CLI agent with more guardrails around day-to-day execution.

  • Use it when you want cleaner repo hygiene and separate worktrees for each OpenCode task.
  • Use it when you are multitasking and need a simple way to monitor several sessions at once.
  • Use it when you need a better handoff to git with explicit diff review before pushing changes upstream.

The ultimate GUI for OpenCode

Useful when OpenCode is the engine, but you want a cleaner operating layer around branch management, monitoring, and review.

Agent monitoring

Know when every OpenCode session needs you

Status badges on every workspace card tell you when each OpenCode session has gone idle or errored. Glance at the sidebar instead of cycling through terminals.

Worktree isolation

Every workspace is a separate branch

Each workspace is a real git worktree with its own branch. OpenCode sessions stay isolated — no stashing, switching, or conflicts. Push branches and open PRs directly from the app.

From idea to isolated workspace in seconds

Describe what you want to build — Baton generates the branch name, title, and description. Launch OpenCode with your preferred flags. Open the dialog from anywhere with a global shortcut.
