Every AI in one app, on the plans you already pay for.
Claude Code, Codex, Grok, Gemini, local models and 16 API providers in one free desktop app for Mac, Windows and Linux, on the plans you already pay for.
AI agents working together, in one shared room.
How Claude Code, Codex, Grok and Gemini work as one team in a shared agent room: one task, one memory, handoffs, checks and limit takeover. Free desktop app.
Claude Code usage limit reached? Here is what to do.
What the Claude Code usage limit means, when it resets, the ways to keep working, and how Lunchbox hands your task to Codex or Gemini with the same memory.
Run multiple AI agents in parallel, or in one shared room?
Two ways to run several AI coding agents: parallel runners give each its own copy of the code, a shared agent room puts them on one task together.
Codex usage limit reached? Here is what to do.
What the Codex usage limit on a ChatGPT plan means, how to check what is left with /status, the ways to keep working, and how Lunchbox hands the task to Claude Code.
Claude Code vs Codex: which one, or both?
How Claude Code and Codex compare: who makes them, which plan each runs on, what they do the same and differently, and how to use both on one task.
Claude Code on Windows, without the fuss.
How to install Claude Code on Windows without WSL, run it next to Codex and Gemini, and use it in a desktop app made for Windows.
Local AI models, in the same room as your other agents.
Use Ollama, LM Studio and llama.cpp in the same room as Claude Code and Codex: which model fits your computer, what local models are good for, and how to set it up free.
A Conductor alternative where the agents work together.
Conductor runs coding agents in parallel on a Mac. If you want agents that work together on one task, on Windows, macOS or Linux, here is how Lunchbox compares.
How to save tokens in Claude Code and Codex.
Ten practical ways to spend fewer tokens in Claude Code and Codex: clear and compact, smaller models, short instructions, prompt caching, and how Lunchbox cuts up to 90% off cached tokens.
Prompt caching, explained.
How prompt caching works with Claude, OpenAI, Gemini and Grok, what it costs, what breaks the cache, and how Lunchbox sets up every room to hit it.
Free AI models for coding, and how to use them.
Where to get free AI models for coding, checked in November 2026: OpenCode and Kilo with no key, free keys from OpenRouter, Google AI Studio, Groq, Mistral and NVIDIA, and local models.
