Best for a workspace that plans work and hands it to coding agents
Anakin is a team workspace for planning work and assigning it to coding agents, free for up to 5 people and $7 a person after that. But it is not a prompt-to-app builder, agent runs use your own coding plans, and the docs are marked coming soon.
Who Anakin is for
- Fits if you run a small team and want to hand tasks to coding agents
- Works for groups of up to 5 who want a free planning board
Who Anakin is not for
- Skip it if you want a tool that builds an app from a prompt, as this is a planning workspace
- Not for you if you have no coding agent, as it sells no model usage
- Watch out: the docs are marked coming soon and no monthly price for Team is shown
- Too light on phones, as only Mac, Windows and Linux apps are named
Why Anakin gets a 2.6
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- AValue for moneyFree for up to 5 people and $7 per user a month on yearly billing after that, against project tools like Linear and Jira that charge more.
- AFree plan and trialThe full product is free for organisations of up to 5 people, with no seat charge. Guests, agents and computers do not count.
- DFeaturesAgile planning, parallel agent runs, import and sync. It needs coding agents you pay for yourself and does not build apps on its own.
- CEase of useDesktop apps to install, then agents and plans to connect. No store rating is on record.
- CPlatforms and integrationsMac, Windows and Linux desktop apps with 8 integrations. No phone app is named.

Keep Anakin, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace Anakin you would be making an AI agent, with the models and the safeguards behind it. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
It is one of the better ones too: its GPA of 2.6 is higher than 67 of the 89 other AI app builders we grade. It costs $84 a year.
What you could make
- Issue tracking, kanban boards and Gantt & timelines: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- An AI agent, with the models and the safeguards behind it.
- Apps for macOS, Windows and Linux that stay in step with each other.
- It is priced for each person, which means accounts and billing for a team.
- It plugs into other products, Jira, Linear and Asana among them.
What this rests on. Anakin’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
What is Anakin?
Anakin is a workspace from Anakin Labs where product and engineering teams plan issues, projects and sprints and assign work to people or AI coding agents. Agents run on computers the team connects, using their existing Claude Code, Codex or similar plans, each in an isolated worktree. The domain previously carried a no-code AI app builder; the site now describes a development workspace.
Worth knowing
- Anakin does not sell model usage; agent runs use your own coding plans or API accounts.
- It is a planning and delegation workspace, not a prompt-to-app builder like most of this category.
- The site's docs are marked as coming soon, and the pricing page does not show a monthly-billing price for Team.
- The download dialog lists macOS, Windows and Linux desktop apps; no iOS or Android app is named.
Key features
- Agents as teammates
- Work can be assigned to a person, an agent or a crew, and agents and skills are shared across the team.
- Agile planning
- Issues, projects, sprints, backlog and triage, with board, list, table, dashboard and Gantt views.
- Parallel agent runs
- Each agent can work in its own isolated worktree so parallel changes stay separate until reviewed.
- Import and sync
- The site lists migration or two-way sync with Jira, Linear, Asana, GitHub Issues, GitLab Issues and Shortcut.
- Bring your own agents
- Runs go through a connected computer and the Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or other plan the team already pays for.
