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

Forge Code is a terminal-based AI pair-programmer and software-engineering agent that lets you interact with your entire codebase using natural language commands. It runs directly in your shell, integrating seamlessly with any IDE or existing workflow; you don’t need to switch editors or abandon your regular tools. Forge Code understands project files, Git history, dependencies, and environment context, so once it loads your project, it comprehends the codebase structure and can respond to prompts without repeated explanations. It offers a multi-agent architecture: a “Forge Agent” for implementing changes and real code execution, and a “Muse Agent” for planning, analyzing, and reviewing code without altering files. You can use Forge with your preferred AI provider or self-hosted LLMs, giving full control over where your code goes and how the model is run.
