Tempo

What is Tempo?

Tempo is a collaborative workspace for product managers, designers, engineers, and coding agents. It brings product planning, code-aware documents, visual React editing, kanban issues, agent chats, pull requests, and team collaboration into one desktop environment. Unlike mockup-only design tools, its canvas edits the actual React codebase so teams can review changes and open pull requests.

Tempo integrates with Claude Code, Codex, and opencode and runs agent conversations in separate Git worktrees. A PRD agent helps teams write implementation-ready specifications, while issues can attach specs, designs, and pull requests. The tool is local-first by default; cloud synchronization is opt-in for collaboration. Agent-generated code still requires tests, security review, accessibility checks, and human ownership before merging.

How to Use Tempo

1. Install the desktop application and open or connect an approved codebase.
2. Plan the user flow and write a code-aware PRD with acceptance criteria.
3. Visually edit React components or assign a bounded task to a supported coding agent.
4. Let each agent work in its isolated Git worktree and inspect its changes.
5. Run project tests, review the pull request, resolve conflicts, and merge deliberately.
6. Track the shipped feature and follow-up work on the issue board.

Core Features

• Code-aware canvas: Designs directly on production React components rather than static mockups.
• Coding-agent integrations: Works with Claude Code, Codex, and opencode using existing authenticated subscriptions.
• Isolated worktrees: Gives parallel agent chats independent Git working areas.
• PRD workspace: Produces specifications with project and implementation context.
• Issue management: Connects tickets to specifications, designs, agent work, and pull requests.
• Local-first workflow: Keeps code on the user's machine unless collaboration sync is enabled.

Use Cases

• Turn a product requirement into a reviewed React feature.
• Let designers adjust real components without creating a disconnected mockup.
• Run multiple bounded coding tasks in parallel worktrees.
• Coordinate PM, design, engineering, and agent deliverables on one issue.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Tempo replace Git and code review?

No. It works with Git worktrees and pull requests; teams still own tests, review, merge decisions, and release safety.

Can existing coding-agent subscriptions be used?

Yes. Tempo states it can use supported agents through the user's existing authenticated setup.

Does Tempo upload code automatically?

Its current FAQ says the product is local-first and cloud synchronization is opt-in for collaboration.
