**The missing IDE for the terminal.**
A native macOS terminal and editor for the AI era. Run Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, Command Code, Junie, a test suite and a dev server side by side, one per tab, and see at a glance which agents are working, which are done, and which are waiting on your decision.

- Agent status, in step with the agent. A spinner shows while an agent is working, read from the agent's own screen ("esc to interrupt") for Claude Code, Codex, Command Code and Gemini CLI, and from OpenCode's own footer ("esc interrupt") for OpenCode, so it stops the moment they stop; other agents go by output timing. A green check means done and waiting for your next prompt, an amber "!" means it is asking you something. Plain commands show no spinner and end with a check or a red cross. Marks clear when you look at the tab.
- Decisions come to you. When an agent asks for permission ("Do you want to make this edit…?"),
a notification says so with the question; click it to land on that tab. OpenCode's "Permission required"
prompt and its questions count too, and the notification quotes the request, such as "Permission required:
Shell command ($ npm test)". Works however you start the agent: directly, through an alias or a shell
function,
npxorbunx, orcd app && claude. - Code editor. Click a file once in the sidebar (Settings › Editor › Open files and folders with a single
click, on for new installs; off, double-click), pick a Find in Files result, or ⌘-click
