SharkBay – a local macOS workbench for coding-agent CLIs

SharkBay, a new macOS workbench for managing multiple AI coding agents, launched as an open-source tool that lets developers run Claude Code, Codex, Gemini, and other agents from a single workspace. The application provides real-time agent status tracking, project management, and embedded browser tabs to eliminate terminal and app switching. Licensed under GPLv3, SharkBay aims to streamline multi-agent development workflows with features like task history syncing via GitHub and automatic service discovery.
