Clide is a native macOS terminal with an AI pair-developer built into the side panel. Split panes into a 6×6 grid, drag files from Finder or the screenshot HUD into the AI chat, and let the agent read your scrollback, open files in preview, or type commands into any pane it chooses — with your confirmation. Voice input, workspace memory, adaptive theming, and a zero-telemetry privacy policy. Built on SwiftTerm with AppKit + SwiftUI. No Electron. No tracking. Just a faster loop.
Hey Product Hunt 👋 — I'm Ryan, maker of Clide.
I kept bouncing between my terminal and a finder window with an AI Coding Agent.
Clide fixes that. It's a native macOS terminal (built on SwiftTerm, not Electron) with an AI pair-developer living in the side panel. The agent can:
- See your shells — list panes, read scrollback, inspect your current selection
- Drive them — type a command into a pane you pick, only executing after you confirm
- Work with files — open them in a preview pane, read line ranges from long files, propose edits
- Take drops — screenshot the macOS HUD straight into chat, or drag a file from Finder, and it becomes an attachment
Plus the native-Mac stuff that shouldn't be a differentiator but somehow is: 6×6 grid layouts, on-device voice input, workspace memory, adaptive light/dark theming, and a strict zero-telemetry policy (the terminal never phones home, full stop).
Free to download.
Questions, feature requests, or brutal feedback all welcome in the comments. I'll be here all day ☕
