# One native app for all your coding agents.

Waku drives the agent CLIs you already have — sessions, transcripts, tool activity, and checkpoints in one fast graphite window, entirely on your machine.

### Native down to the frame

Rust and GPUI — the GPU-accelerated framework behind Zed. Instant launch, smooth scrolling through years of transcript, no Electron.

### Every agent, one timeline

Each agent is connected over its strongest native interface — stream-json, JSON-RPC, live events — and normalized into one provider-neutral model.

### Rewind that means it

Every prompt checkpoints your working tree under a hidden git ref. Roll back the code and the provider conversation together, not just the chat log.

### Keyboard first

⌘N starts a session, ⏎ queues a follow-up while the agent works, ⌘⏎ steers it mid-turn, Escape stops. Every control works without a mouse.

### Local by architecture

Projects, sessions, transcripts, and provider IDs live on your disk. No account, no telemetry, no Waku cloud between you and your agents.

### Quietly current

Signed, notarized, and auto-updated with binary deltas via Sparkle. The app stays fresh without asking for your attention.
