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

Tonkotsu is a desktop application that lets developers manage a team of AI coding agents from a document-centric interface, enabling a structured plan, code, and verify workflow that scales software development by delegating multiple coding tasks in parallel while maintaining human oversight and control. From within a single doc, users set project direction and context, Tonkotsu analyzes codebases and drafts detailed plans, and then developers assign and manage dozens of autonomous tasks without micromanagement; once work is complete, teams review diffs, comment inline, and approve changes, with automatic build, lint, test, conflict resolution, and merges to streamline iteration, ensuring no commits are finalized without explicit approval. Built for professional developers on macOS and Windows, it supports planning across multiple repositories, symbol lookup for context continuity, task dependency specification to order work logically, and automatic verification to enhance accuracy.
