A small, native home
for your terminal agents.
Run a dozen Claude Code and Codex sessions side by side, see at a glance which one needs you, and pick up any of them after a quit, an update or a crash.
Who needs you?
Every tab has a dot: working, needs you, or done. A banner when an agent waits on you, and a click takes you straight there. No setup.
Tabs that don't die
Each tab's shell runs in its own tiny holder process. Quit, update or crash, and every agent keeps going; the window comes back to them.
A viewer above the chat
⌘-click any path or link an agent prints: Markdown, HTML, PDFs, images, video, diffs and code open right above the conversation, with back and forward.
Workstreams
Agents keep a shared record of each piece of work through an MCP server: overview, rules, memory, questions for you, progress and files, beside the chat and back after every compaction.
Native and light
SwiftUI and AppKit, no Electron. Under 100 MB of memory with a few groups loaded, under 1% CPU when idle. Builds with just the Command Line Tools.
Make it yours
Native extensions in Swift for anything deep; JSON plugins for widgets, link rules, themes and palettes, no build needed. Built for vibe coding, too: point your agent at the source and change anything.
Install
Runs on macOS 14 or later. Building needs macOS 15.6 or later with the Xcode Command Line Tools 26 or newer (xcode-select --install), and tabs need claude or codex on your PATH.
