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

JackHamr is the AI coding agent that ships software end-to-end. Instead of a single AI assistant, it orchestrates specialist agents: a spec agent writes requirements, a planner breaks them into tasks, a builder writes code, a tester runs tests, a reviewer checks quality, and a shipper deploys. Agents run on hosted cloud dev environments with VS Code, Docker, SSH, and WireGuard-encrypted networking, so you can close your laptop and they keep working. Talk to them with push-to-talk voice chat or type naturally. GitHub is built in: one-click clone, automatic branch-per-task, real-time commit sync, and PR creation. Bring your own LLM keys (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, or self-hosted) or use ours at cost, and swap models mid-pipeline. Pay-as-you-go with itemized billing: infrastructure at cost, LLM tokens with zero markup. $10 free credit to start, no card required.
