A macOS workspace for orchestrating parallel AI coding agents and automating development workflows.
Scape is a macOS workspace for orchestrating parallel AI coding agents and automating development workflows. It runs Claude Code, Codex, or OpenCode across unlimited isolated git worktrees on your Mac, with integrated terminals, code editors, diff viewers, and notes. Scape is designed to replace your terminal and potentially your IDE, providing a command center for managing multiple AI agent sessions simultaneously.
Scape offers a 7-day free trial with full features. After the trial, you can choose:
Does Scape replace my terminal? Yes. If you use iTerm2, Ghostty, or the default macOS terminal for Claude Code, Codex, or OpenCode sessions, Scape replaces that entirely. It's a terminal with everything else built around it—worktrees, file editor, toolkit, watchdogs.
Does Scape replace my IDE? It depends on how much you code by hand. If you spend most of your day prompting, reviewing, and testing, then yes, Scape can replace your IDE. If you're still writing a lot of code yourself, you'll probably want both. Scape has a built-in file editor for reviewing AI output, but it's not trying to be VS Code.
Which AI coding agents are supported? Scape runs Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, and OpenCode as first-class harnesses—pick one per session, or run several at once. You bring your own subscription; we never sit between you and your tools. More harnesses are on the way.
Can I switch harnesses, or mix them? Yes. Choose the harness per session, and the workspace around it—worktrees, editor, toolkit, watchdogs—stays identical. Hand the same task to Claude Code and Codex to compare, or let them debate it in one thread.
How do parallel worktrees work? Each worktree is an isolated copy of your repo with its own branch and its own agent session. They share git history but not working state, so multiple sessions can edit code simultaneously without conflicts. You click a button, pick a branch, and start prompting. Note that gitignored files like .env, node_modules, and build artifacts aren't copied into new worktrees—you can create a toolkit script to copy them over automatically.
What are watchdogs? A watchdog is a session that monitors your other sessions. When one finishes or asks a question, the watchdog responds based on instructions you've given it. It can't start new sessions—it only drives the ones you've already spun up. Think of it as the middle ground between answering every prompt yourself and running --dangerously-accept.
How does voice transcription work? Scape bundles NVIDIA's Parakeet TDT model and runs it locally on your Mac via CoreML. The first time you use it, the model compiles for Apple's Neural Engine—this takes a couple of minutes. After that, transcription is instant and fully offline. No audio ever leaves your machine.
Do I need to install anything for voice? No. The model ships with Scape and compiles automatically the first time you press Cmd+P. There's nothing to install manually. It runs on Apple's Neural Engine so it's fast and doesn't tax your CPU.
What can Playbooks automate? Playbooks are runbooks that actually run. Chain bash commands, HTTP requests, and Claude steps—with secrets, loops, and fan-out—to automate releases, onboarding, data collection, or anything you do more than once. They run on demand or on a schedule, entirely on your machine.
What are Tables, and where does my data live? Tables are a local database built into Scape. Define columns, then fill rows by hand or let a playbook populate them automatically. Everything stays on your Mac and syncs through your own iCloud—no server, no signup. Your Notes can pull live tables and charts straight from this data.
Are the encrypted chat rooms really private? Messages are end-to-end encrypted on your device and relayed through a server that only ever sees ciphertext—never their contents. Nothing is stored and there's no message history; when the channel closes, it's gone. The relay can see connection metadata (such as which room is active) but can never read what you send.
What's the difference between Agent ↔ Agent Chat and Agent Rendezvous? Agent ↔ Agent Chat runs two agents on your machine—Claude and Codex, say—in one conversation so they can debate an approach or split the work. Agent Rendezvous connects your agent to someone else's agent across machines, so the two of you can have your agents plan together in a shared chat. Local collaboration vs. remote collaboration.
Is my code sent to your servers? No. Scape runs entirely on your Mac. Your code, your API keys, and your sessions never leave your machine. Notes sync through your own iCloud account. We don't proxy, store, or see any of it.
Is there a free trial? Yes. Download Scape and the 7-day trial starts automatically—no account, no credit card, no license key. You get the full app, Pro features included. When the trial ends, Scape locks until you buy a license. One trial per device.
What does the one-time purchase include? One payment of $9.99 gets you 1 month of updates—every version we release during that month, yours to keep. When the month ends, new releases stop, but every version you received during it keeps working forever. No auto-renewal. You can re-enable updates anytime by buying another month or subscribing.
What happens when my subscription ends? Every version released while your license was active keeps working forever—you just stop receiving new releases. The one exception is the subscription features (Playbooks, Tables, Agent Rendezvous, and Encrypted Chat Rooms), which pause until you resubscribe. Everything else—worktrees, watchdogs, toolkit, editor, voice, dev servers—keeps working, and your previous versions don't get disabled.
Which features require an active subscription? Most of Scape is yours to keep once unlocked. Four features need an active subscription (or your one-time-purchase month) and pause when it lapses: Playbooks, Tables, Agent Rendezvous, and Encrypted Chat Rooms. Your data and playbooks aren't deleted—they just go read-only until you resubscribe.
