MacroD runs local coding agents from Macro chat
By Steven Van ·
A local daemon starts Claude Code or Codex when you mention it in Macro, with no public tunnel, on Mac, Windows, and Linux.
On October 29, Macro introduced MacroD, a local daemon that connects coding agents on your machine, or on a cloud instance, to Macro. Mention an agent in a channel, document, or thread and a session starts.
The post says the session drives Claude Code or Codex on your machine, and it also names Herdr. It says MacroD fetches the repo, makes a worktree off main, and can open a GitHub pull request, with no tunnel or open port. It is bundled in the desktop app or installable with a CLI.
The bring-your-own-agent docs confirm the daemon, no public tunnel, and macOS, Linux, and Windows. They list Claude Code, Codex, and a custom command. They do not mention Herdr, a worktree, or opening a pull request. The post does not list a price.
