Waku is a native desktop app for working with local coding agents. Built in Rust with GPUI, it keeps projects, sessions, transcripts, and application state on the user's machine, while detecting supported agent CLIs and using each provider's native structured protocol and session continuity. Its interface supports independent project sessions, model and reasoning settings, queued or directed follow-up messages, and Git-backed task rewind with conversation-aware checkpoints. The desktop app communicates with a standalone waku-daemon over an authenticated, versioned WebSocket protocol. The daemon manages task data in SQLite, attachments, provider-native session forks, workspace files, and Git operations; a browser client uses the same generated protocol. Waku is distributed for macOS, Linux, and Windows, with no Waku account or remote service required.

mindwalk is a local visualization tool that replays coding-agent sessions on a 3D map of a codebase. Its Go binary reads Claude Code, Codex, and pi session logs, showing searched, read, and edited files as changing glow and touch states on radial-tree or treemap views; files no longer present remain as wireframe ghosts. A playback deck supports timeline scrubbing, event-bucketed observation and mutation phases, speed control, and client-side WebM export, while timeline marks, subagent lenses, and a file inspector connect session events to individual file histories. It runs locally and sends nothing elsewhere during viewing; optional session evaluation sends a session summary to the model used by the user's local Claude or Codex CLI when explicitly invoked.

hqtui is a TypeScript terminal UI library developed by profullstack for building btop-style dashboards with a one-import API and zero runtime dependencies. It renders directly through ANSI/VT sequences using a typed-array cell framebuffer, differential rendering, truecolor with automatic 256- and 16-color fallback, and Braille or block graphics, without ncurses, a browser DOM, React, native add-ons, or network access. Its API provides layouts, panels, tables, trees, logs, meters, graphs, forms, dialogs, themes, mouse input, and responsive terminal handling. A headless renderer can produce text, screen, ANSI, or HTML output for testing without a TTY. Bun is the default runtime; Node 22.6 or newer is supported, with best-effort Deno support. The project is MIT-licensed and includes a demo dashboard with real or simulated system metrics.

herdr is a terminal multiplexer and persistent runtime for coding agents, developed as a Rust binary. It runs a background server that keeps agent terminals and sessions available across terminal disconnections, SSH reconnections, network loss, lid closure, and machine restarts; users can reattach from another terminal and use tmux-style keyboard controls or mouse interactions to split, move, and manage panes. Each pane is marked working, blocked, or idle, and agents can control herdr through its CLI and socket API to spawn panes, prompt other agents, and wait for an agent that is blocked. It hosts existing tools such as Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, OpenCode, and Grok without wrapping or replacing them, and supports plugins for extending panes and workflows. The project provides installation scripts and package-manager installation, documents remote use and session state, and is licensed under the Apache License 2.0.

Waku Agent is an open-source, local-first personal assistant and AI-agent harness built by seanchen.io. It runs on a laptop through a terminal, local browser dashboard, voice input, or Telegram gateway, and is organized around four components: a harness for tool execution, an approximately 95-line plain-Python agent loop, memory, and evaluation/LLM operations. Its memory uses semantic, episodic, and procedural stores in a local SQLite database, with a gate that decides whether to retrieve or save memory and a pass that determines what to retain. The project includes deterministic tests alongside LLM-as-judge evaluation with a release gate. The dashboard displays message flow through the harness, including gate decisions, tool calls, loop iterations, memory updates, traces, costs, and latency; it also includes views for workflows, tools and MCP connectors, memory, and the SQLite state database. It can be installed with pip and exposes the `waku` command. The dashboard runs a local web server at `127.0.0.1:7777`, and the Telegram gateway starts when `TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN` is configured. Model providers are selected through a provider setting and API key, with support stated for Anthropic, OpenAI, Gemini, DeepSeek, MiniMax, Kimi, GLM, OpenRouter, OpenCode Zen, and OpenCode Go.
