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

MiniMax Code brings the agent experience to Mac and Windows, where users can pick a workspace, describe what they need, and let the agent read, analyze, batch-process, and act on local files or remote tasks. Instead of manually managing every step, users define the goal and MiniMax Code builds the right agent team, soloing simple tasks and teaming up on complex work. The agent remembers habits, preferences, projects, and repeated workflows through persistent memory, generating skills over time so users do not have to explain the same context again. It is designed to work where people already chat, handling local files, remote work, schedules, teams, memories, and skills directly from the conversation. The product supports advanced coding and agentic workflows, including multi-file edits, test-validated repairs, long-horizon tool chains, planning, document summarization, creative writing, research, full-stack development, reports, presentations, web development, and everyday Q&A.
