Meet your new, slightly revolutionary coding crew. Skwad is a macOS app that runs a whole team of AI coding agents—each in its own embedded terminal—and lets them coordinate work themselves so you can get real, parallel progress without tab chaos.
- Feels like a control room: your agents are always visible, always alive, always ready.
- Fast, native, fluid: GPU‑accelerated Ghostty terminals and a UI that keeps up.
- Actually collaborative: built‑in MCP lets agents coordinate work themselves and hand off tasks.
- Git without context switching: diff, stage, commit, and stay in flow.
- Multi-agent management - Run multiple AI coding agents simultaneously (Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot, or custom)
- GPU-accelerated terminals - Powered by libghostty, with SwiftTerm fallback
- Agent-to-agent communication - Built-in MCP server for inter-agent messaging and coordination
- Markdown preview - View plans and documentation in a themed panel with dark mode support
- Git integration - Worktree support, repo discovery, diff viewer, stage/commit panel
- Activity detection - See which agents are working or idle at a glance
- macOS 14.0 (Sonoma) or later
- Zig (only if building libghostty from source)
- An AI coding CLI (e.g., Claude Code)
