sidecar

Run AI coding agents, git, and tasks in one terminal workspace

Runs AI coding agents like Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor inside embedded terminal panes alongside git diffs, task issues, and file browsers. Eliminates constant window switching by putting sessions, commits, and code review in a single keyboard-driven interface. Monitors agent activity across every project at once and lets you stage, merge, and ship work without leaving the terminal.
