Overview
Waku is a fast, native macOS app that drives the coding agent CLIs you already have — Amp, Claude Code, Codex CLI, Cursor CLI, Grok Build, OpenCode, and Pi — and puts their sessions, transcripts, tool activity, and checkpoints in one window. Built in Rust with GPUI, the GPU-accelerated framework behind Zed, so it launches instantly and scrolls through long transcripts without Electron overhead. Each agent connects over its strongest native interface (stream-json, JSON-RPC, live events) and is normalized into one provider-neutral timeline. Every prompt checkpoints your working tree under a hidden git ref, so you can rewind the code and the provider conversation together rather than just the chat log. Keyboard-first throughout, with everything stored on your disk — no account, no telemetry, no cloud backend.
