A good fit for

  • Founders or developers managing multiple products and AI agent sessions on macOS who need consolidated supervision and workflow continuity.

A practical workflow

  1. Create a workspace per product grouping repos, tasks, terminals, browser tools, and saved layouts to return to the exact setup.
  2. Move the product forward by building with Claude Code or Codex, working through launch tasks, and keeping growth or traffic-review tools open beside the product context.
  3. Focus on the next decision using agent status, attention badges, tasks, and native notifications to identify which product can move forward.
