A multitasking macOS terminal and agent manager for orchestrating AI coding agents
Run several CLI agents in one project simultaneously, each isolated in its own git worktree and branch so sessions never collide.
Anoint an orchestrator that genuinely monitors workers and reads their terminals, or convene a roundtable of role-played agents in a shared chat via crystl quest.
Turns, tool calls, results and tables are captured as agent-readable metadata and rendered fast on the GPU with Metal.
Approval requests, questions and alerts appear as color-coded glass cards, while a panel tracks token burn and estimates turns left.
The AI coding agent that turns ideas into shipped software
Hand off a task in plain language and agents plan it, edit across multiple files, run commands, and report back what changed.
Launch several agents at once in hosted environments so long-running work continues in the background while you focus elsewhere.
Choose between models from multiple leading providers per task, balancing reasoning depth, speed, and cost as needed.
Cursor runs as a desktop IDE, in the terminal via CLI, and inside Slack and GitHub so agents review pull requests in existing workflows.
