Looks like another Claude App/Cowork-type competitor with slightly different tradeoffs (Cowork just calls Claude Code in a VM, this just calls Codex CLI with OS sandboxing).

- React 19.2.0

- Jotai (state management)

- TanStack React Form

- Vite (bundler)

- TypeScript

Backend/Main Process:

- Node.js

- better-sqlite3 (local database)

- node-pty (terminal emulation)

- Zod (validation)

- Immer (immutable state)

Build & Dev:

- pnpm (package manager)

- Electron Forge

- Vitest (testing)

- ESLint + Prettier

Native/macOS:

- Sparkle (auto-updates)

- Squirrel (installer)

- electron-liquid-glass (macOS vibrancy effects)

- Sentry (error tracking)
