Aster by AsterWise vs Styx
Facts from each product's IndieNeed listing, side by side.
Aster handles model selection through one API. Use aster-code for coding agents and technical tasks, or aster-work for custom agents, workflows and general work. Usage is prepaid at published token rates. Originally launched September 23, 2026.
A mac app so my coding agents can't deploy to prod without asking Run Claude Code, Codex and Gemini across a bunch of repos. Got tired of terminal chaos and agents having full access to my keys. Styx puts every project and agent in one window. Each agent works on its own branch. Nothing merges or deploys without my approval, and prod needs Touch ID. Keys stay on your machine.
