Why I built it.
Why you shouldn't.

Why I built it

  • I work with Claude, Codex, and other agents 10+ hours a day. 10+ sessions open at once. I needed something that actually keeps up.
  • I want tools that fit how I work — fast, keyboard-driven, no friction. If it slows me down, I won't use it.
  • I use this thing all day. The DX has to be good because I'm the one suffering when it's not.
  • I choose what to support carefully. Some tools claim to support every agent and terminal under the sun. None of them do it well. I'd rather do fewer things perfectly.

Why you shouldn't

  • It's free. I spend hours every day on this and burnt out my Claude Max plan doing it. You don't have to.
  • It's actually really hard. Even with Opus 4.6, agents are terrible at Swift compared to other languages. Integrating with different agents and terminals is a pain in the ass.
  • If you still want to build your own — go ahead and have fun. I mean it.

Two display modes. Notch or pill.
