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

Blume is a desktop sidecar for AI coding agents that helps developers see what every agent is doing, keep project context consistent, and catch drift before it reaches the codebase. It works with tools including Cursor, Claude Code, Codex, omp, and Pi, bringing agent activity, hidden files, skills, hooks, rules, and provider usage into one place. The Agents view shows whether each coding agent is working, finished, or waiting for approval, while Setup exposes the instructions and configuration files shaping agent behavior. Usage tracking shows remaining plan limits and token burn across providers such as Claude, Codex, and Cursor so developers can avoid unexpected interruptions. Blume stores conversation history locally on the device and reviews rules, skills, and hooks on-device. Its Improve workflow looks for repeated signals of friction across conversations, clusters similar issues, and proposes concrete changes such as new rules or reusable skills.
