Free

An open-source Mac app that gives your coding agent a home: a real browser it drives, persistent chats, git worktrees and your iPhone in the loop.

Session Sidebar: One chat per task in a single rail, each keeping its own context, resuming mid-thought and showing whether it is still running or finished.
Per-task Git Worktrees: Every chat runs on its own worktree, so several agent tasks can proceed in parallel without stepping on one another's branches.
Driven Real Browser: The agent operates an actual browser using your own logged-in sessions, so it can reproduce bugs and walk redirect chains on real authenticated pages.
iOS Simulator Integration: An iPhone simulator sits in the window, letting the agent build and inspect mobile UI without leaving the app.
Phone Pairing: Pair an iPhone to follow and steer a run away from your desk, with the relay end-to-end encrypted.
Local-only Architecture: No Superagent account, server or telemetry — nothing leaves your Mac and there is no second subscription to buy.
Open Source under MIT: The Mac app, iPhone app and relay are all published on GitHub under the MIT license and the build is notarized by Apple.
Bring Your Own Agent: Works with Claude Code today on the subscription you already have, with Codex and Antigravity announced as coming.

Parallel Feature Work: Run several coding tasks at once, each isolated on its own git worktree, and check back on whichever finishes first.
Debugging Authenticated Flows: Let the agent open the real browser on your logged-in session to reproduce a login redirect loop or a flaky auth test.
Mobile UI Iteration: Build and visually inspect an iOS interface through the embedded simulator while the agent edits the code.
Long-running Refactors: Kick off a migration such as moving a repo to pnpm, close the laptop, and follow progress from a paired iPhone.
Privacy-sensitive Codebases: Use a coding agent on proprietary code with no account, server or telemetry involved.
Reviewing Agent Work: Watch step counts, diffs and per-file changes in a desk-style UI rather than scrolling terminal output.
