  • Background execution. The agent runs in the background. No window to watch, no terminal to babysit.
  • Native popups. Permission requests and questions appear as macOS-native popups from the menu bar.
  • Ambient status. Menu bar icon shows progress at a glance without demanding attention.
  • Concurrent sessions. Run multiple tasks in parallel, each working independently.
  • Trust levels. Three modes to control what the agent can do on its own:
