Your AI coding agents shouldn't live in a dozen terminal tabs.

So I built AIWorkstation: a native macOS app that puts Claude Code & Codex on an infinite canvas — every agent a real terminal card you can see, arrange, and talk to.

• Real PTY terminals — full TUI, colors, Ctrl-C
• Two agents, one repo? Each auto-gets its own git worktree. No clobbering.
• Live status dots — who's working, who's waiting on you
• Focus Mode: one agent beside a live diff
• 100% local. No backend, no accounts.

Open source, built from scratch in SwiftUI.

Holds up well — none of it scales with repo size. It's `git status --porcelain` plus a per-file `git diff` only on the file you click, both off the main thread, so the UI never blocks. Latency tracks the number of changed files + the size of the one file you're viewing, not the repo.

The only thing that scales with diff size is rendering a single huge file (eager view today) — virtualizing that is next on the list. What size repo are you throwing at it?

Love this — agents as ambient thumbnails with a hotkey to pop each to the front and back is a really clean model.

Fork away (it's MIT), and honestly I'd happily take a PR. Most of the plumbing's already there: cards have z-order + bring-to-front, the camera can zoom to a single card, and I just added keyboard triage (⌃⌥→ to cycle the agents that need you). A global per-agent hotkey (Carbon RegisterEventHotKey) is the main missing piece.

How were you picturing the keys — assigned per agent, or a quick-switcher overlay?

[Sujit Baruwal @sujiteeeey]

A few people asked to actually see it — so here's a 30-second look at AIWorkstation.

Claude Code & Codex agents as live terminal cards on one macOS canvas — then Focus Mode on a single agent to review its work.

What are you using to run more than one coding agent right now — tabs, tmux, something better? 👇

[Sujit Baruwal @sujiteeeey]

If you run more than one AI coding agent, you know the chaos — scattered terminal tabs, repos trampling each other, no idea which one's done.

AIWorkstation puts them all on one native macOS canvas: every Claude Code / Codex agent a live terminal card you can see, arrange, and talk to.

Open source. Full rundown 👇

Fair on restart — live sessions aren't persisted yet, the honest tradeoff of running the real CLI vs a protocol wrapper.

(The auto-compaction is Claude Code's own behavior, though — you inherit it precisely because it's the real thing, not a reimplementation.)
PTY buys generality: any agent CLI, real TUI, Ctrl-C — not just ones that speak a protocol. Durable history within that is what I want next.

[Sujit Baruwal @sujiteeeey]

Agreed — handoff is the hard part, not visibility. For me the canvas is really an attention-routing layer: live status dots + native notifications flag the exact moment an agent is waiting on a human, and Focus Mode is where you take the handoff — live diff next to a reply box.
Durable session state across restarts is still the open frontier though. How are you approaching it in the room model?

[Sujit Baruwal @sujiteeeey]

And you drive it all by typing, not clicking:

claude refactor the auth module → spawns an agent
codex → a second one
open github → a browser node on the canvas

Parsed instantly, on-device.

[Sujit Baruwal @sujiteeeey]

The part I'm proudest of: spin up a second agent in the same repo and it's automatically dropped into its own git worktree + branch. Two agents, one codebase, zero collisions — no manual setup.

[Sujit Baruwal @sujiteeeey]

@Youssofal_ @ivanfioravanti We need the update fast or may be a beta that curious users can try?

[Sujit Baruwal @sujiteeeey]

Is @huggingface down?

[Sujit Baruwal @sujiteeeey]

@claudeai api overload?
Anyone else getting this?

[Sujit Baruwal @sujiteeeey]

@cjzafir Why not release the fine tuned model?

@AstroSharmistha I have been trying to buy your book ebook version from us but none of my credit card seem to be taken. Is there any other way?

@0xZoo @_0x404_ @NousResearch Repo?

[Sujit Baruwal @sujiteeeey]

Was able to run Qwen 3.5 35b 4 bit on a MacBook air M4 with 16 GB of Ram.
Streamlined the process with all the steps needed to run the model and got 5.9 tokens/s
