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
Pi is a minimal terminal coding harness built to adapt to developer workflows instead of forcing developers to adapt to it. It ships with powerful defaults, but stays intentionally small and aggressively extensible, letting users customize Pi with extensions, skills, prompt templates, themes, and shareable packages from npm or git. If a team needs a command, tool, provider, workflow, or UI tweak, they can ask Pi to build it, manipulate it in place, reload, and keep going. Pi supports interactive, print/JSON, RPC, and SDK modes, making it usable as a full terminal UI, a scriptable command, a JSON event stream, or an embeddable agent harness. It works with 15+ providers and hundreds of models, including Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, Azure, Bedrock, Mistral, Groq, Cerebras, xAI, Hugging Face, Kimi For Coding, MiniMax, OpenRouter, Ollama, and more, with mid-session model switching.
