Best for

Developers who switch between Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, Amp, and other agent CLIs all day.

Why it deserves attention

Waku is built in Rust with GPUI, the GPU-accelerated stack behind Zed, and connects each agent over its strongest native interface, normalizing stream-json, JSON-RPC, and live events into one provider-neutral timeline. Every prompt checkpoints the working tree under a hidden git ref, so rolling back restores both the code and the provider conversation. It is keyboard-first throughout, keeps projects, sessions, and transcripts on disk, and supports Amp, Claude Code, Codex, Cursor CLI, Fx, Grok Build, Kimi Code, OpenCode, and Pi. It is GPL-3.0 with about 1,600 GitHub stars and builds for macOS, Linux, and Windows; it is still at 0.1.x and provider-specific features vary.
