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.

Zerg Client:
About
Zerg Client (ZTC) is a beta AI coding agent for developers working in existing code projects. It reads and explores project code, plans changes, edits files, runs commands and tests, and checks results. Users can work in a terminal client or, on Apple Silicon Macs, the native desktop app; named sessions can be saved and resumed. Its screen layer lets the agent open and operate terminal panes (zmux) while users watch. ZTC connects to models through a ZergAI account or local provider API keys; available models depend on the sign-in route and provider access. The command-line client runs headlessly on macOS, Linux, and Windows. ZTC is source-available under the Zerg Source Available License and free to evaluate; other commercial use requires a separate license. Model usage is billed separately.
