Why We Built Kepler: One Engineer’s Frustration With Fifteen Open Terminals

GitKraken’s Kepler, currently in public preview as version 0.8, is designed to help developers coordinate multiple AI coding agents, repositories, issues, and pull requests without constantly switching among terminals, Jira, GitHub, and agent interfaces. Created from senior engineer Gyo’s frustration with manually launching and tracking agent tasks, Kepler provides a centralized workspace where developers can initiate work on issues, review pull requests, monitor in-progress changes, and remain involved before code is published or merged. Rather than replacing integrated development environments, Kepler is intended to complement them by supporting agent orchestration and human oversight, while IDEs remain useful for reading, validating, and refining generated code.
