Best Google Antigravity Alternatives in 2026
The best alternatives to Google Antigravity for running coding agents in parallel, including Superset, Cursor, Codex, Factory, and Conductor, from agent-agnostic workspaces to single-vendor apps.
Google Antigravity 2.0 is Google's agent-first desktop app, launched at I/O on May 19, 2026, with a CLI (agy) and a Python SDK. It runs Antigravity's own agent on Gemini, Claude, and gpt-oss models, gives each agent a Git worktree, and is free to start on macOS, Windows, and Linux. You might want an alternative if you use agents from other vendors, want pull requests and CI in the same app, need a native mobile app, or want enterprise controls outside Google Cloud. Here are the best Antigravity alternatives in 2026.
The Short Version
| Alternative | Best for | Agents | Platform |
|---|---|---|---|
| Superset | Any CLI agent in parallel worktrees, through to PRs | Any CLI agent, including Antigravity's agy | macOS; experimental Linux AppImage |
| Cursor | An AI editor with its own agents | Cursor's agents | macOS, Windows, Linux |
| Codex | OpenAI's coding agent, locally or in the cloud | Codex | macOS and Windows desktop, CLI, web |
| Factory | Teams delegating whole tasks to Droids | Droid | macOS, Windows desktop; CLI everywhere |
| Conductor | A focused Mac app for a few agents | Claude Code, Codex, and more | macOS |
Why Look for an Antigravity Alternative?
Antigravity is built around one agent. You can switch models, but not harnesses, so teams that standardized on Claude Code or Codex cannot bring them in. Google's docs describe staging and committing changes, not opening pull requests or showing CI checks. Mobile access is Remote Control in a web browser rather than a native app. On the organization plan through Google Cloud, the Claude and gpt-oss models are not available.
The Best Alternatives
1. Superset
Superset is a local-first desktop workspace that runs any CLI agent in parallel Git worktrees: Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, Cursor Agent, OpenCode, Copilot, Muse Code, Droid, and Antigravity's own agy. The Changes pane commits, pushes, and opens PRs, the Pull Requests view shows CI checks and sends line comments back to agents, and the in-app browser has port detection and Design Mode. Remote Access adds a macOS or Linux machine as a host, scheduled automations, a CLI, a TypeScript SDK, an MCP server, and a Slack bot cover unattended work, and the iPhone and iPad app shows terminals and diffs. The enterprise tier adds SAML SSO, SCIM, audit logs, and a SOC 2 Type II report.
Best for: teams that want every agent, including Google's, in one workspace with the full path to merge.

2. Cursor
Cursor is an AI editor that runs its own agents in parallel in local Git worktrees and in the cloud. If you want an editor first, with agents built in, it is the closest editor-centric alternative.
Best for: developers who want to stay in an editor.
See Superset vs Cursor.
3. Codex
OpenAI's Codex is a CLI, IDE extensions, a coding surface in the ChatGPT desktop app with worktree mode, and a cloud agent that runs tasks in OpenAI-managed environments. It is the single-vendor alternative from OpenAI's side.
Best for: developers on ChatGPT plans who want OpenAI's agent.
4. Factory
Factory's desktop app runs many Droid sessions at once, in Git worktrees on your machine or on Droid Computers, which are managed cloud VMs or your own machines. It adds automations triggered by schedules, Slack, or GitHub, and team plans with SSO and on-prem options. Like Antigravity, it runs one vendor's agent, Droid, across many models.
Best for: engineering teams that want to delegate whole tasks to one agent platform.
See Superset vs Factory.
5. Conductor
Conductor is a macOS app that runs Claude Code, Codex, and other agents in parallel, each in an isolated worktree, with a review-and-merge flow. It is a focused option for a few agents on a Mac.
Best for: Mac developers who want a simple multi-agent app.
How To Choose
- To run every agent, Antigravity's included, with PRs and remote hosts: Superset.
- To stay in an editor: Cursor.
- For OpenAI's agent locally or in the cloud: Codex.
- To delegate tasks to one agent platform with cloud machines: Factory.
- For a simple Mac app: Conductor.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best Google Antigravity alternative?
For running agents from any vendor in parallel with PRs and CI in the same app, Superset. It also runs Antigravity's own CLI, so you do not have to give it up.
Can I use Claude Code with Antigravity?
Antigravity offers Claude models inside its own agent, but Google's documentation does not describe running the Claude Code CLI. Superset runs Claude Code and Antigravity's agy side by side.
Is Antigravity free?
Yes, with basic weekly limits. Google AI Pro and Ultra plans raise them. Superset has a free tier and Pro at $20 per user per month.
