Waku
Per its README, a native desktop app that puts all your local coding agents in one window, built in Rust with GPUI (the Zed UI framework). The README says state stays on your machine.
- Maker: GitHub user egoist; site waku.sh. Not the unrelated React framework Waku. No company note exists.
- Licence / cost: GPL-3.0 per repo metadata; free, no account or remote service required.
- Platforms: macOS (signed dmg), Windows (x64/arm64 installer), Linux (script install); the README notes some features are not yet available on Windows.
- Supported agents (README): Amp, Claude Code, Codex CLI, Cursor CLI, Fx, Grok Build, Kimi Code, OpenCode, Pi.
- Features: multiple independent sessions per project, switch model/reasoning/access mode, queue or steer follow-ups mid-turn, Git-backed checkpoints that rewind code and conversation together, standalone
waku-daemonwith a versioned WebSocket protocol and a browser client. - Maturity: very new: repo created 2026-07-31, v0.1.20 on 2026-10-02.
- Versus similar tools: in the author’s reading of the README, chat-centric with fewer workspace tools than Synara or Ghostex (no built-in browser/editor listed); compare MonoCode.

- A homepage snippet mentions “Y Combinator” in a way that could not be interpreted; no funding claim made.
