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

Cursor is an advanced AI-powered IDE designed to make developers exponentially more productive. Built with deep codebase understanding and intelligent automation, it combines natural language interaction with precise, context-aware editing tools. Its Agent feature acts as a human-AI coding partner capable of planning and executing entire development workflows, while the Tab model delivers remarkably accurate autocompletion and targeted suggestions. Cursor seamlessly integrates across environments—from GitHub and Slack to the command line—ensuring AI assistance is available wherever you code. Supporting leading models like GPT-5, Claude Sonnet, Gemini Pro, and Grok Code, it gives developers full control over autonomy and model selection. Fast, intuitive, and built for serious builders, Cursor is redefining what an IDE can be.
