So I built a canvas for it.</p> <p>Your prompt sits at the centre. The repository, skills and references you attach flow into it, and the agents' work grows out of it, where you can see it.</p> <h2> What's in it </h2> <ul> <li> <strong>Agents you can watch.</strong> Sub-agents appear beside the conversation as they work, and every step can be opened.</li> <li> <strong>A browser beside the session.</strong> You browse it, and the agent browses it too.</li> <li> <strong>Memory and notes.</strong> Agents remember what each project taught them.</li> <li> <strong>Pull requests.</strong> Review, comment and ask the agent about a line without leaving the app.</li> <li> <strong>Routines.</strong> Agents that work on a schedule and report back; anything they send out waits for your approval.</li> <li> <strong>Voice.</strong> Speech models that run on your computer; audio never leaves it.</li> <li> <strong>Any model.</strong> Your Claude or ChatGPT subscription, an Anthropic or OpenAI key, or open models running locally.</li> </ul> <p>Alone, Superfik needs no account and no server. A team can run its own server with one command.</p> <h2> Try it </h2> <p>macOS is out now; Windows and Linux builds are on the way.</p> <ul> <li>Site: <a href="https://superfik.com" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://superfik.com</a> </li> <li>Code (Apache 2.0): <a href="https://github.com/brunozilio/superfik" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://github.com/brunozilio/superfik</a> </li> </ul> <p>I'd love feedback, especially on what feels confusing in the first five minutes.</p> ai opensource showdev productivity
