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

Maestri is a macOS-native productivity and development workspace designed to orchestrate multiple AI coding agents, terminals, notes, and visual thinking tools within a single infinite canvas, allowing developers to manage complex workflows without losing context. Instead of relying on traditional terminal tabs and fragmented tools, it provides a spatial interface where users can place, connect, and monitor multiple agents simultaneously, each running tasks such as coding, testing, or debugging in parallel. It enables agents to communicate directly with each other, delegating tasks, sharing outputs, and collaborating autonomously, while users maintain full visibility and control over the entire process. It supports sketching and diagramming directly alongside active agents, allowing developers to map architectures, flows, and ideas in real time without switching tools.
