Real terminal consoles
Launch Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI and other coding agents as full pseudo-terminals with normal terminal controls, job control and full-screen interfaces.
Hypervibe
Hypervibe is a native macOS app that puts multiple AI coding agents into real terminal consoles on a visual board. It helps developers organize parallel sessions, coordinate handoffs, manage repository work, and automate bounded tasks using their existing CLI accounts.
A visual workspace for parallel coding agents
Hypervibe is a native macOS workspace for running AI coding agents in parallel. It places real terminal consoles for tools such as Claude Code, Codex and Gemini CLI on a visual board, so developers can monitor multiple sessions without relying only on tabs or fixed terminal panes.
The app is designed to keep planning and execution together: users can organize consoles into teams, add notes and kanban items, preview local web applications, coordinate handoffs and use voice or keyboard to prepare commands. State is stored on the Mac, while agents continue to use the subscriptions and logins configured for their own command-line tools.
Core features
Visual workspaces
Arrange consoles, notes, kanban items, checklists, web previews, ink annotations and other work artifacts on a pannable board.
Teams and handoffs
Group consoles into teams, assign roles, launch up to 12 consoles from the composer, and prepare handoffs between agents without automatically sending prompts.
Automated loops
Run a console on a schedule, when idle, or when it produces output; loops can have goals and retire when the goal is met.
Voice control with confirmation
Use push-to-talk voice dictation and a voice planner for board commands. Dictation is transcribed on-device, and prepared prompts still require the user's confirmation.
Persistence and account profiles
Save workspace changes locally, restore consoles with their conversations, inspect usage from local session logs, and create isolated profiles for multiple accounts of the same CLI.
Practical use cases
Compare or coordinate multiple coding agents
Run Claude Code, Codex and Gemini CLI on one Mac, monitor their states on a shared board, and move work between them through prepared handoff prompts.
Parallel feature development
Give implementation, review and documentation tasks to separate consoles while keeping each session visible and organized beside the repository work.
Manage projects and accounts
Use isolated CLI profiles and separate workspaces or worktrees when multiple accounts or agents need to operate on related projects without mixing sessions.
Plan and inspect a repository
Keep a kanban, notes, checklists, localhost preview and Git information beside active consoles while planning and reviewing a repository.
Run bounded recurring tasks
Schedule or trigger repeatable agent runs on idle or output, assign a goal, and let the loop stop when that goal is met.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Uses the actual interactive CLI tools in full pseudo-terminals rather than replacing them with a separate agent interface.
- Combines console status, workspaces, teams, handoffs, notes and local web previews in one board.
- Persists workspace state and restores consoles, with native resume support and user confirmation.
- Supports voice dictation and planning while keeping prompt submission under the user's control.
- Provides local usage views and isolated profiles for running multiple accounts of the same CLI.
Cons
- Mac-only: requires macOS 14 or later and Apple silicon.
- It runs agents on the local Mac rather than on remote machines over SSH.
- The Pro plan is paid and agent subscriptions are separate; the site states there is no free trial.
FAQ
How do you set up Hypervibe?
Hypervibe runs as a native macOS app on macOS 14 or later and Apple silicon Macs. Install the coding CLIs you use, sign in through each CLI, then point Hypervibe at a repository or folder to create a board.
Does Hypervibe work with existing agent subscriptions?
Yes. Hypervibe runs the interactive CLI binaries already on your PATH using the accounts you have configured. It does not resell model access or require Hypervibe API keys for those agents; each CLI still needs its own plan or supported API key.
Which coding agents can run in Hypervibe?
Hypervibe supports Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, Grok, OpenCode, Aider, Amp, Goose, Cline, Cursor CLI, Copilot CLI, Droid, Crush, Codebuff, Continue, Kilo Code, Qwen Code, Kimi CLI, Auggie, and other supported or custom terminal executables.
Does Hypervibe work offline or with remote machines?
The app saves workspace state locally and restores consoles on reopen, with confirmation for resumes. Voice dictation is transcribed on the Mac, while the voice planner and spoken replies require a connection. Hypervibe does not run agents remotely over SSH.
What does Hypervibe cost and what are the plan terms?
The Pro plan is listed at USD 19 per month, with annual billing also offered. The site states that it is for one person, supports macOS 14 or later on Apple silicon, has no free trial, and includes a 14-day refund window for first purchases and annual renewals under the refund policy.
