Pane + Kanban + Canvas
Work in split panes, track the lifecycle in Kanban, or arrange live sessions freely on Canvas. Isolated worktrees and work summaries keep each change visible.
Acorn
Coding agents and conveniences, all in one place.
Better productivity
Smoother human–AI collaboration
AI is a powerful, useful tool — but decisions and accountability stay with people.
Acorn is designed to connect the two flexibly.
Native chat runtime
Stream chats with Claude, Codex, and Antigravity, attach files, edit or regenerate turns, and fork from any point into another worktree.
GitHub without switching
PRs, Actions, checks, and diffs right in the side panel — no jumping to the browser. Merge messages drafted by AI.

- Tauri 2 · Rust core No heavy runtime — a Rust core and native PTY shells keep it light and fast.
- Control sessions Centrally control the project's sessions through a control session — create, drive, read, and close them remotely.
- Kanban · Canvas · Work summaries Turn session state, diffs, and PRs into a lifecycle board or spatial workspace, then summarize changed files, lines, conversations, and tokens.
- Easy workspace separation Spin up a worktree-separated session to work the same repo in parallel, conflict-free — and clean worktrees up just as easily when you're done.
- Background sessions A background daemon keeps PTY sessions alive — quit, relaunch, and reopen right where you left off.
