The agent cockpit
A sheet of paper is one fold away from something that flies. Fold it, send it.
A terminal-first IDE for running 2–6 AI coding agents in parallel. Terminals on the main stage, a git diff one keystroke away, and an editor good enough for the bits they got wrong. One window per project.
$brew install --cask samiabi/fold/foldNo login. No cloud. No extensions. It opens a folder and spawns a shell.
Spawn, watch, review.
Fold is built around one workflow: agents write, you read the diff before it lands. Everything in the app exists to keep that loop tight.
Spawn
Open a folder and Fold gives you a session immediately. Add one per task — one agent on auth, one on tests, one on docs.
Watch
Terminals hold the main stage, not a drawer. Split panes to keep two agents visible at once; the sidebar dots cover the rest.
Review
Cmd+Shift+G to the git panel. Read the diff before it becomes a commit. Stage, commit, push — or hand the file back to an agent.
Just enough VS Code.
The layout grammar you already know — activity bar, sidebar, editor, status bar — with the terminal promoted to the main stage and everything else cut.
Parallel sessions
Every agent gets its own PTY. Name them, split them, kill them. Status dots tell you which are still working without switching to look.
Splits that nest
Cmd+D and Cmd+Shift+D split a session into a tree of panes. Cmd+K then an arrow moves focus. Closing the last pane closes the session.
A real git panel
Changes, Branches and History — staging, commits, push, worktrees, per-file diffs as tabs. It shells out to your system git, so it behaves exactly like your terminal does.
Explorer with decorations
A lazy file tree with VS Code-style git status: modified, added, untracked, conflicted. Folders roll up the worst state of their children.
An editor for between turns
CodeMirror 6 with a Tokyo Night theme, one view per tab. Good enough for the fix an agent got 90% right. Not trying to be an IDE.
One search, three scopes
Cmd+F searches this file, the terminal scrollback, or every file via git grep — one popup that remembers where you were.
Hands stay home.
Every action has a key. The terminal keeps its own — xterm passes everything but ⌘-chords straight through to the PTY, because agents need their control keys.
One fold from a sheet of paper.
Apple silicon, macOS 13 or newer. Signed, notarized, and about as heavy as a terminal emulator.
