#What Fold is

Fold is a macOS app for running AI coding agents. One native window where many terminal sessions run in parallel — usually agents like Claude Code — across many projects at once, with everything you need while they work around them:

• a file explorer and a good editor, to read and touch what an agent changed
• a git panel — status, diffs, commits, branches, pull requests — inside the app
• search, a command palette, notes, and a keyboard shortcut for everything

#The name

A paper plane is one fold away from a sheet. The mark, the folded-paper icons and the flying-plane prompt that closes every command line all carry the name through the app.

#What Fold is not

• Not an IDE. No language intelligence. The editor is deliberately a good editor, nothing more.
• Not an agent integration. Fold hosts whatever you run in its terminals. It never reads or writes an agent's configuration, never puts anything on a shell's PATH, and never types into a shell on its own.
• Not a web app. A small native binary — Swift and AppKit on the Ghostty terminal engine. No browser engine anywhere, no login, no cloud.

#Where to start

1. Install — Homebrew or the signed .dmg.
2. Getting started — the window in two minutes.
3. Shortcuts — or press ⌘/ in the app; the sheet lists every key that exists.
