How to run several coding agents side by side in one app with Waku

Keep projects and separate agent sessions from different CLIs in one native desktop window.

Who it is forA developer who uses Claude Code, Codex CLI, or Cursor CLI on the same codebase and is tired of juggling terminal windows for each one.

The problemEach agent CLI runs in its own terminal, so projects, sessions, and transcripts end up scattered across windows.

The outcomeOne desktop app lists your projects and independent agent sessions, with each session tied to the agent you chose.

What you need first

  • A supported agent CLI installed and authenticated, such as Claude Code, Codex CLI, or Cursor CLI
  • macOS, Linux, or Windows (the README lists different install paths and feature availability per platform)
  • For the Linux script, a shell with curl and permission to write to ~/.local (no root needed)
  • For building from source: Rust 1.96 or newer, Bun, and the native prerequisites in CONTRIBUTING.md

Steps

  1. On macOS, download the signed .dmg from https://waku.sh and open it. It updates itself.
  2. On Linux, run curl -fsSL https://waku.sh/install.sh | sh.
  3. Install and authenticate at least one agent CLI, such as Claude Code, Codex CLI, or Cursor CLI, before starting Waku.
  4. Open Waku, add a project, and start one session per agent you want to compare.
  5. Switch models, reasoning effort, or access modes from the shared interface as needed.

Prompt for your agent

In the waku repo at <path to Waku checkout or install>, confirm that Waku can see at least one agent CLI by opening the app and listing the detected agents for the project at <project path>. Expected output: a list of detected agents and the sessions created for each. Verify that each session shows its own transcript.

Caveat. The README says the embedded browser and computer-use integration are macOS-only, and that Windows has parts not yet available, so check docs/windows.md or docs/linux.md for your platform.
