## What it is
Waku is a fast, native desktop application (built in Rust with GPUI) for managing multiple local coding agent CLIs like Claude Code, Codex, Cursor CLI, and OpenCode from a single interface. It keeps projects, sessions, transcripts, and Git-backed checkpoints entirely on your machine with no account or cloud service.

## Use cases
- manage claude code and codex sessions in one desktop app
- switch between coding agent CLIs without leaving one window
- queue follow-up messages to an agent while it works
- rewind code and agent conversation together with git checkpoints
- run coding agents locally without electron or cloud accounts
- unified interface for multiple AI coding assistants
- browse agent transcripts and tool activity natively

## When to choose
- you use several coding agent CLIs and want one native app to manage them
- you want a fast, GPU-accelerated alternative to Electron-based agent UIs
- you need local-only storage of sessions and transcripts with no telemetry
- you want conversation-aware git rewind of agent tasks

## When to avoid
- you only use a single agent CLI and are happy with its own interface
- you need a web-based or team-shared agent dashboard
- you require agents not in the supported list (Amp, Claude Code, Codex, Cursor CLI, Fx, Grok, Kimi, OpenCode, Pi)
- you need a fully stable, long-proven tool - the project is young and evolving
