Tempo

Tempo

Tempo is a desktop workspace where product teams plan, design, and build React applications without bouncing between separate docs, design files, and IDEs. PMs, designers, engineers, and coding agents share canvases, specs, and repository code in one collaborative environment.

Unlike tools that edit HTML mockups, Tempo works on production React in your codebase. You design on a canvas, tweak layout and typography visually, and open pull requests from the same app. Chats integrate with Claude Code, Codex, and opencode so agents can implement features from plans you sketch on the canvas.

Tempo targets teams shipping React web apps who want tighter handoffs between product, design, and engineering. Kanban boards attach specs, designs, and PRs to every ticket, while parallel agent chats each run in their own git worktree for isolated review.

Tempo Labs is a Y Combinator S23 company based in Toronto. The product offers a free Starter plan, per-seat Team pricing, and an optional Agent+ managed development subscription for teams that want features designed and shipped for them.

Top Features:
  1. Edits real React in your codebase, not HTML mockups, with visual canvas changes that ship as pull requests

  2. Connects to Claude Code, Codex, or opencode so agents implement canvas plans inside the same workspace

  3. PRD agent drafts code-aware specs in a Notion-style docs editor, aimed at one-shot implementation

  4. Kanban boards tie specs, designs, and PRs to every ticket with configurable agentic stage flows

  5. Parallel agent chats each run in a separate git worktree so you can review and merge work independently

Pros:
  1. Local-first by default keeps repository code on your machine unless you opt into cloud sync.

  2. Free Starter tier supports up to 10 team members with kanban, docs, and 100 monthly AI messages.

  3. Works with Claude Code, Codex, and opencode using your existing agent subscriptions.

  4. Parallel agent chats use separate git worktrees, making it easier to review isolated changes.

Cons:
  1. Desktop downloads only; there is no browser-only workflow on tempo.new.

  2. Optimized for React web apps and React Native, with limited support for other frameworks today.

  3. Agent+ managed subscriptions start at $4,500 per month, which is steep for early-stage teams.

FAQs:

Is there a free plan for Tempo?

Yes. Tempo's Starter plan is $0 per month and includes 100 AI messages per month on free models, up to 10 team members, 250 kanban issues, and 50 docs. You can bring your own inference keys.

Which coding agents does Tempo support?

Tempo integrates with Claude Code, Codex, and opencode. Tempo uses whichever agent you are already logged into, including existing Anthropic, OpenAI, or opencode subscriptions.

Is my code safe with Tempo?

Tempo is local-first by default. Your code stays on your machine, and cloud sync is opt-in for team collaboration only.

Does Tempo use git worktrees?

Yes. Each Tempo workspace is a new git worktree, and parallel agent chats also run in separate worktrees so changes stay isolated until you merge.

What platforms does Tempo run on?

Tempo offers desktop downloads for Windows, macOS (Apple Silicon and Intel), and Linux. Sign up is handled through auth.tempo.build.

What is Tempo Agent+?

Agent+ is Tempo's managed design and development subscription. Agents design and ship one to three features daily with human engineer and designer review, 48 to 72 hour turnaround, and unlimited revisions. It starts at $4,500 per month on tempo.new.
