Pod is our own product: an IDE for macOS that runs many coding agents side by side on one Mac. It is in internal preview: we use it in the studio, and it isn't available outside it.
Context
We run many coding agents at once on our own Macs, and a fleet works a machine hard: terminals flood, subscriptions run dry, dev servers eat memory and builds pile up. We built claude-acc for that load. In Pod it is part of the IDE, next to a native terminal.
What is in it
- A native window: the sidebar, the tabs in the title bar and the panes are SwiftUI and AppKit. Each project gets one calm row, and each agent one small mark: working, waiting for you, or done.
- A native terminal: every pane is a native view that runs Ghostty's engine and draws with Metal, not a web page.
- claude-acc built in: subscription rotation, a memory guard for dev servers, builds scheduled by free memory, cleanup, stay-awake and fan control.
- No telemetry: Pod sends nothing home. It has no telemetry, relay, push, share or feedback service.
Coming after 1.0: indexed code search for agents, OrbStack VM environments and the Pod Workspace, a managed home for your repositories.
