Clide: Native macOS Terminal with Integrated AI Assistant and Grid Layout
By
Ryan
There's a fresh bagel in here somewhere. We couldn't find it.
Summary
Clide is a native macOS terminal application that features an AI pair-developer assistant integrated into a side panel. The terminal offers a 6×6 grid layout for split panes, allowing users to drag files from Finder or screenshots into the AI chat. The AI agent can read terminal scrollback, open files in preview, and type commands into any pane with user confirmation. Additional features include voice input, workspace memory, adaptive theming, and a privacy-focused zero-telemetry policy. The app is built on SwiftTerm with AppKit and SwiftUI, avoiding Electron and tracking for faster performance.
