Unblock Get Unblock

For Claude Code and Codex

From big idea to finished product, fast.

Break the idea into a plan your agents share, and they build it in parallel, each taking a task that’s ready.

Unblock’s board in a see-through window on the desktop: Waiting, Ready and Doing columns with tasks in each, two agents at work, and Done and Later folded at the edge.

The one idea

Every agent always has a task to pick up.

A task is Ready as soon as everything it waits on is Done. Nobody has to move it there. So ten agents on one plan each find something to start, none wait on you, and no two do the same work.

Three agents in three terminals, one plan. When Codex finishes Builds, Launch video turns Ready by itself, and the next free agent claims it.
Waiting
Something it’s waiting on isn’t Done yet.
Ready
Everything it was waiting on is Done. It got here on its own.
Doing
An agent has claimed it and is ticking off its steps.
Done
Finished, so the tasks waiting on it are no longer blocked.

How it works

From install to many agents at work.

  1. Unblock-1.0.0-setup.exe
    01

    Install Unblock and open it.

    No account, and nothing to sign up for.

  2. 02

    Flip the switch for your agent.

    It adds the MCP server and the /unblock skill to Claude Code or Codex for every folder. Nothing is written into your projects.

    Another agent? Copy a setup prompt and paste it in.

  3. 03

    Tell your agent the idea.

    It plans the work as tasks. Start more agents, and each takes one that’s ready.

The app

Watch the plan move.

Graph, board, list and Gantt, all live as your agents work. See-through on Windows 11 and macOS, solid on Windows 10 and Linux.

The list view in a see-through window: every task, who’s working on it, what it waits on and what it unblocks, with a search box.
Every task at once: who’s working on it, what it waits on, what it unblocks, and a search box to narrow them down.

What’s in it

Built so many agents can work at once.

  • Two agents never claim the same task

    Other agents can’t take a claimed task. If its agent crashes, the task frees up for another.

  • The plan outlasts the session

    It lives in the app, not in one conversation, so a new session or another agent picks up where the last stopped, ticked steps and all.

  • Every change is kept

    Each change records who, when and what it was before, so you can revert any one or restore the whole project to an earlier point.

  • See how fast it’s going

    Analytics shows how much is done, how long tasks took against your estimates, and which agent spent the time.

Also a project for each folder, comments on a task, named groups in the graph, importing a todo/ folder, exporting to JSON, and light and dark themes.

483

tasks on Unblock’s own board.

Unblock was planned, built and shipped with Unblock, by Claude Code agents working the same plan at once.

Questions and answers

Before you buy.

Straight answers from the developer.

Why is it unsigned?
Signing costs about $220 a year, $99 of it Apple’s. At $5 a copy, I’d rather ship now. Each system needs one extra click the first time, and the steps are below.
Are updates included?
Yes, every 1.x release. The app doesn’t check for updates: your receipt always has the newest.
What’s missing from this version?
Agents don’t run inside the app yet: you start them in your own terminal or editor, and Unblock is the plan they share. No subtasks, no archive, no branches or merging, and nothing that reads your git status.
Does it work with Cursor, Gemini CLI…?
Any agent that speaks MCP should. Copy the setup prompt from the app, paste it into your agent, and it sets Unblock up in its own config. Claude Code and Codex are the two it’s tested with, so the rest are best-effort.
Where does my data live?
On your machine, in one SQLite file. No account, no sync, no telemetry, and nothing phones home.
What if it isn’t for me?

First launch

Your system warns you once.

After that it opens like any other app. The full steps come with the download.

Instead of a signature, each installer’s SHA-256 is in checksums.txt.

  1. Run Unblock-1.0.0-setup.exe. SmartScreen says “Windows protected your PC”, because the file is unsigned.
  2. Choose More info.
  3. Choose Run anyway, and the installer opens.

It installs for your user only and adds unblock to your PATH, for new terminals. To check the file: certutil -hashfile <file> SHA256
