## Details

Sidebridge redefines the terminal experience by transforming it into a visually persistent, context-aware sidebar that lives on the periphery of your workflow. Built as a native macOS Swift app, it attaches itself to the pane you are actively working in—whether that is a tmux session, the Claude Code desktop window, or the Codex CLI interface—and surfaces critical development information without forcing you to switch contexts. Instead of toggling between your terminal and a full IDE, Sidebridge delivers what an IDE would have shown you directly beside your command line: real-time git status, diffs, file trees, and agent activity. This floating sidebar follows your focus, ensuring that every change, commit, or branch switch is immediately visible without disrupting your flow.

Why choose Sidebridge? Because it eliminates the cognitive overhead of context switching. Developers working with tmux, Codex CLI, or Claude Code can now see their agent-workbench activity, file structures, and version control state at a glance. The app is designed to be unobtrusive yet powerful—a lightweight companion that enhances peripheral vision rather than demanding center stage. Whether you are debugging a complex agent session or reviewing a series of diffs, Sidebridge keeps the essential information pinned to the edge of your workspace. It works seamlessly with tmux panes and the Codex App, and its interface is clean, minimal, and optimized for macOS. Free to start, Sidebridge offers a new way to monitor agent activity and project state without leaving your terminal. Download for macOS and experience the focus switch that brings IDE-level awareness to your command-line workflow.
