About
Autopilot is an open-source terminal coding agent and SDK for developers working in Git repositories. It reads a repository, plans tasks, edits files and runs commands, with plan, edit and automatic-approval modes. It connects to 25+ hosted model providers using your own credentials, supports local models through Ollama and LM Studio, and works with OpenAI-compatible endpoints. Autopilot runs on macOS, Linux and Windows for interactive sessions and unattended server jobs with runtime, token and cost budgets, checkpoint recovery and email notifications. It supports MCP servers, language-server features, hooks and local memory. Its headless SDK and JSONL-over-stdio RPC enable integration into other applications. On OpenRouter, subagents can run in read-only Hotcell sandboxes with short-lived, spend-capped tokens instead of the provider key. Autopilot is free and MIT-licensed; model-provider usage may incur separate charges.

Backgrind:
About
Backgrind is an overlay window for AI coding agents, built for vibe coders and pro developers on macOS and Windows. It puts Claude Code, Cursor, or its hosted Grindy model in an always-on-top window that floats over whatever you are doing, so you can fire off a task, go build or play, and only get tapped when the agent actually needs you. Backgrind works as a thin frontend over the CLI you already use, keeping your login, history, hooks, and workflow intact while floating over your editor, browser, docs, or even a borderless full-screen game. The window can be dragged, stretched, recolored, faded through, summoned with a hotkey, or switched into click-through glance mode so your clicks and keystrokes pass straight to what is underneath. It flashes and chimes only when your agent needs approval, asks a question, or finishes. Backgrind also acts like a real mini-IDE, with a file tree, syntax-highlighted previews, rendered Markdown, and clickable file links.
