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

LM Studio Bionic is an AI agent built for getting real work done with open models across coding, research, documents, files, and general knowledge work. It gives users flexible control over where models run: locally on their device, through LM Link, or with frontier open-source models in LM Studio Secure Cloud for heavier tasks. Local models are powered by the LM Studio runtime and can be downloaded directly inside the app, while cloud requests use Zero Data Retention and are processed without being stored after completion. For coding, users can connect a local folder as a Code project and ask Bionic to inspect a codebase, explain unfamiliar logic, search for relevant files, trace behavior, edit code, or debug issues. Inline diffs make changes easy to review as the agent works. Work projects support documents, PDFs, presentations, spreadsheets, and local directories, allowing Bionic to generate new files, organize materials, summarize content, edit existing work, and more.
