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
Herdr is a terminal-based runtime and multiplexer for developers who run AI coding agents, shells, tests, and other command-line tools. It organizes work into workspaces, tabs, and panes managed by a background server, so processes can keep running when a client disconnects. Users can reattach locally or connect to Herdr on other machines over SSH. The software detects supported coding agents and displays whether they are working, blocked, idle, or done; integrations can preserve native agent sessions after a server restart. Its CLI and local socket API let scripts and agents inspect sessions, manage panes, start or prompt agents, and wait for state changes. Developers can configure keybindings and themes and extend workflows with local executable plugins. Herdr is installed on macOS, Linux, or Windows and is released under the Apache 2.0 license.
