Friday Work Review (2026)
Friday Work review: a free, open-source (MIT) desktop app that runs the coding agents you already pay for (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI, Copilot and 10 more) side by side on one task board, lets them message each other, and moves a task to another agent when one hits its usage limit.
- Price: Free, MIT licensed, no account
- Friday Team: hosted version, by arrangement (no public price)
- Runs: 15 coding tools by name + any ACP agent
- Launched: Product Hunt, Nov 1, 2026
New launch, not tested hands-on. Friday Work (“When Claude hits its limit, your task keeps going”) was in the Product Hunt feed on November 1, 2026 (5:55 PM ET). Its GitHub repository (splashxmoon/friday) was created October 26, 2026 and had release v0.2.8 on November 2 (GitHub, checked November 3). Everything below comes from tryfridaywork.com, its docs and GitHub. We have not run it.

Summary
Short answer (Nov 3, 2026): Friday Work is a free, MIT-licensed desktop app that runs Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and other coding agents as one team and hands a task on when one hits its limit, per tryfridaywork.com; the catch is that every agent still bills on your own plans, and the hosted Friday Team has no published price. Price at the time of writing; it may have changed.
Quick verdict: a free control room for people who use more than one AI coding agent. Friday does not sell model access: every agent runs on your own Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or other plan. What it adds is coordination: a shared task board, agents that message each other, a separate git worktree per agent, a diff review, and an automatic hand-off when one tool runs out of usage. It is days old and tiny (14 GitHub stars), so treat it as an early tool.
- Run Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Gemini CLI, OpenCode, Devin CLI, Junie, Kiro, Factory Droid, Grok Build, Cline, Kilo Code, Amp, Muse Code and any ACP agent in one session.
- One agent splits a job into a task board; the others pick up tasks; another agent checks each finished task before it counts as done.
- Hit a usage limit mid-task? Friday hands the task, with its notes, files and plan, to another agent you run, instead of waiting for the reset.
- A usage panel shows how much of each tool’s Claude Code and Codex limits is left, read from your own computer.
- Price: free and MIT licensed, no account. Friday Team (hosted, several people in one live session) is arranged by contacting them; no price is published.
- Desktop apps for macOS, Windows and Linux, or one npx command with Node.js 22 and Git.

Pricing
Source: tryfridaywork.com, checked November 3, 2026. From tryfridaywork.com and tryfridaywork.com/teams on November 3, 2026. There is no paid plan for the desktop app. Your coding agents bill you on their own plans (Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and so on); Friday never meters or raises those limits.
| Option | Price | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| Friday (open source) | Free (MIT licence) | Desktop app or npx command on your own computer, no account; all 15 agent integrations, task board, hand-offs, worktrees, diff review |
| Friday Team (hosted) | Not published: “talk to us” | Teammates join the same live session, request control, share a watch link; set up with you by conversation |
| Friday Code (built-in agent) | Free; runs on a model you add | Friday’s own agent, only on your own API key or a local model |

Price snapshot: This is the price at the moment we wrote this review (November 3, 2026). The price may have changed by the time you read it, so check the official site for today’s price.
- The real cost is the agent plans you already pay for; Friday only coordinates them.
- Hand-offs move work to another tool you run; they never switch your accounts or raise anyone’s limit.
- Privacy: the app listens on 127.0.0.1 only and sends a few anonymous usage counts you can turn off in Settings; never code, prompts or files (its FAQ).
- Friday Team code is not part of the open-source app.
What Friday adds to your monthly bill (our math)
| Setup | Friday | Your agent plans |
|---|---|---|
| One developer, Claude Code + Codex | $0 | Whatever your Claude and ChatGPT plans cost now |
| Team wanting one shared live session | Friday Team: price on request | Each person’s own plans |

Features
From tryfridaywork.com, its docs, guides and GitHub, November 3, 2026. Described, not tested.
- Many agents, one session: 15 named coding tools plus any Agent Client Protocol agent, each on its own sign-in; pick one per task or let Auto choose.
- Task board with checks: a lead agent plans, others take tasks, and a finished task counts only after another agent checks it.
- Agents talk to each other: they ask and answer questions directly, so you don’t relay messages.
- Usage-limit hand-off: when a tool runs out mid-task, the task moves to the agent best placed to finish it, with a brief of what was asked, read, run and changed.
- Git worktrees and diff review: each agent can work in its own copy of the repo; you read the diff, leave line notes, stage hunks and commit.
- Usage panel: Claude Code and Codex limit windows shown beside the session, plus a context ring.
- Continue existing sessions: open a Claude Code, Codex or Cursor session you already started and keep going.
Who it’s for
- Developers who pay for two or more AI coding tools (say Claude Code and Codex) and keep hitting one tool’s limit.
- Solo builders who want agents to split, check and review work on their own machine, free.
- Open-source fans who want a local, MIT-licensed harness with no account.
- Not for you if you use a single agent and rarely hit limits, or need a mature, supported product today.

The catch
Brand new, tiny, and only as good as the plans you already pay for.
- The repository is a week old (created Oct 26, 2026) with 14 stars and several releases a day, so expect rough edges.
- It doesn’t add model capacity: if all your agents are out of usage, the task waits for a reset.
- Hand-offs pass a record built from the session log; it can only hold what the first agent actually did.
- Friday Team (the multiplayer version) has no public price.
- Running many agents at once burns through several paid plans faster.
Verdict
- Try the free app if you already run two or more coding agents; it costs nothing and needs no account.
- Start with one repo and the worktree option on, and review every diff before you commit.
- Wait on Friday Team until it publishes a price and the open-source app matures.
This is the price at the moment we wrote this review (November 3, 2026). The price may have changed by the time you read it, so check the official site for today’s price.
Worth trying if: you use Claude Code plus at least one other coding agent and want them to share work and pick up where one runs out.
Skip it if: you only use one agent, or you need an established tool with support today.
Not tested hands-on. Prices can change; re-check tryfridaywork.com before you buy.
Friday Work FAQ
How much does Friday Work cost?
As of November 3, 2026, the Friday desktop app is free and open source (MIT) with no account. Your coding agents still run on your own paid plans. Friday Team, the hosted multi-person version, has no published price: you contact the makers.
What is the main downside of Friday Work?
It is very new (repository created October 26, 2026, 14 GitHub stars) and adds no model capacity of its own, so it only helps if you already pay for more than one coding agent.
