One-click AI agent workspaces for macOS. Save your whole rig — agents, layout,
working directories, initial prompts — and load it back in a click.
Like tmuxinator, except your agents are already running.
You've typed
cd ~/projects/foo && claudefour hundred times. Stop.
| Presets | Save the whole grid — agents, layout, working directories, per-pane initial prompts — as a named bundle. Load it later and the whole grid spins up. Agents already running. |
| Macros | The commands you retype forty times a day, one click away. Pin /clear, make test, git status to a pane header — send to the focused pane or the broadcast group. |
| Spaces | Every project's rig, saved. Switch between projects, agent roles, or workflows without losing pane state. |
| Broadcast | Type once, send to every selected pane. Same prompt, three agents, instant compare. |
@mentions |
@pane2:50 pulls the last 50 lines of that pane's output into your prompt. Hand context between agents without copy-paste. |
| MCP server | Local HTTP server (127.0.0.1 only, bearer-token auth) exposes panes to Claude Desktop, Cursor, and Cline. Read/write panes from any MCP client. |
| Cross-pane search | Find any string across every pane's live buffer and scrollback history (⌘⇧F). |
| Worktree panes | New worktree pane… runs git worktree add and spawns a pane there, labeled with the branch. Cleanup on close. |
| Pane attention | Free in-app activity dots. Pro out-of-app delivery (OS notifications, dock bounce, sound) when an idle pane needs you. |
| Power-user surface | Command palette (⌘⇧P), ⌘1–⌘9 pane focus, ⌘⌥H/J/K/L vim-style direction nav, ? for the full shortcut sheet. |
tmux is free, scriptable, and great. If you've already wired up a tmuxrc plus tmuxinator for your AI workflow, you probably don't need this.
Poly Grid is for the rest of us — people who want the rig pre-built, not scripted. Presets in a dropdown, macros as buttons, no .conf to maintain. And because it's GUI-native, the same workspace your terminal sees is also reachable from Claude Desktop, Cursor, and Cline over MCP — no socket-passing, no tmux send-keys glue.
- Download the latest DMG from Releases:
Poly-Grid-<version>-arm64.dmg— Apple SiliconPoly-Grid-<version>.dmg— Intel
- Open the DMG and drag Poly Grid.app into your Applications folder.
- Launch. The first time, macOS may ask you to confirm the app — it's signed and notarized by Apple, so right-click → Open is enough.
The app auto-updates via electron-updater. New versions install themselves in the background and prompt to restart when ready.
- Free forever: the base multi-pane grid. Spawn panes, set layouts, type into them. That's yours.
- 7-day free trial of the orchestration features above (presets, macros, spaces, broadcast,
@mentions, MCP server, attention notifications, scrollback search). - $20 one-time, 3 machines to unlock everything after the trial.
Activation lives in ~/.poly-grid-license (encrypted via macOS Keychain), so reinstalling or upgrading macOS won't reset your trial or activation slot.
- macOS 11 (Big Sur) or later
- Apple Silicon or Intel
- ~150 MB disk
- Internet for license activation and auto-updates (7-day offline grace built in)
Linux and Windows builds are on the roadmap — Linux first, once the macOS funnel is healthy.
Poly Grid ships with opt-in product analytics (powered by Aptabase, open-source and privacy-first). First launch asks you explicitly; you can toggle it any time from Help → Privacy….
When on, the app sends:
- A random install ID, app version, OS family
- Six named funnel events (
app_launched,pane_command_typed,pro_feature_attempted,license_modal_opened,license_activated,app_quit) - Small counters (trial days left, session count, panes open)
It never sends:
- Pane contents, commands you type, or terminal output
- File paths, working directories, or git remotes
- License keys, your email, or your machine's hostname
A hardened redactor at the boundary drops the entire event if anything path-shaped, license-shaped, email-shaped, or homedir-leaking sneaks in. The full policy lives at poly-grid.com/privacy.
- Feature requests + bug reports: open an issue
- Direct support for license holders: email the address on your purchase receipt
