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.

About

Conductor lets you run a team of coding agents on your Mac, giving each Claude Code or Codex agent its own isolated workspace so you can parallelize software work without losing control. Add your repo, and Conductor clones it and works entirely on your Mac. Deploy agents, and each one gets a separate git worktree where it can work independently. Then conduct: see who is working, what needs attention, review code, and merge finished branches. Conductor is built around the idea that developers are becoming AI managers, coordinating many agents at once instead of working through a single chat. It supports Claude Code and Codex, with model selection, Plan Mode, Fast Mode, reasoning controls when available, checkpoints, skills, and agent-specific session controls. Plan Mode asks the agent to make a plan before editing files, making it useful for broad, risky, ambiguous, or multi-file changes.
