Run a crew of agents, not one chat window.
Scry is a terminal cockpit for developers who drive multiple AI coding agents at once. Real shells in movable panes, live agent status, and every terminal keeps its own session — even after you restart.
You stopped working alone the day you started using AI. So why are you still tabbing between one chat window and a thousand? Scry is a desktop cockpit where real terminals run side by side — each driving its own agent, each showing its own status. You don't take turns with a bot. You run a crew.
Parallel
Agents in their own panes — not one chat thread you wait on.
Local & private
A real desktop app. Your keys, your disk, no telemetry.
WSL-native
Windows and Linux panes side by side. Paths translate across the border.
Extensible
Drop a folder in. It becomes a dock app. No rebuild, no store.
Sixty seconds in the cockpit.
A cinematic tour — parallel panes, live agent status, the dock lighting up the one that needs you.
A walk through the real thing.
The cockpit, desktop mode, and the drop-in extensions platform — start to finish.
Built for running more than one thing at once.
Every pane wears its state on its sleeve — thinking, awaiting input, idle, done. The dock lights up the one that needs you. Paste or drag a screenshot into a Linux pane and the path arrives translated. Reload anytime — your shells and your agents don't blink.

your agent drives the cockpit.
Movable, splittable panes
Split, drag, magnify, tab. Save layouts as workspaces and reopen them from the library. Maximize one pane without losing the rest.
Live agent status
Scry auto-detects claude, codex, grok, gemini, and aider and reads each pane's state: thinking, awaiting, idle, error. The dock surfaces whoever needs you.
Session per terminal
Quit and reopen, and each terminal resumes its own agent conversation — not a shared "most recent" one. Full scrollback, right where you left it.
Task queue
Line up a backlog and enlist terminals as workers. The moment an agent goes idle it pulls the next task itself — your crew drains the list while you think.
Built-in editor
A real code editor and file tree in a pane — with an AI console beside it that already knows the file you have open. Ask about the code on screen, no copy-paste.
Bring your own agent
Any CLI agent runs in a pane. An MCP tool surface (list_blocks, spawn_block, …) lets an agent drive the cockpit itself.
Web & media panes
A native browser pane with mic and camera access. A video player and audio-reactive backdrop. Themes from Tokyo Night to Amber CRT.
Cockpit telemetry
Per-pane git branch. Live CPU / GPU / RAM. Screenshot-to-terminal with path translation. Everything you'd otherwise alt-tab for, in the corner.
Stays current
Signature-verified auto-updates. When a new build ships, Scry shows a banner and updates itself on your okay — no reinstall, no checking a page.
One key turns the cockpit into a desktop.
Hit ✦ DESKTOP and the panes break free into a full-screen, DE-style shell over the same live workspaces. Floating windows, a dock, wallpaper, a focus timer. Nothing restarts — it's the same shells, just a different frame.
- ▸Workspaces as windows. Each workspace becomes a movable, maximizable window of terminals.
- ▸Truly multi-live. Every window keeps running — arrange them like browser windows, snap to edges.
- ▸Dock tools. Settings, music, and a focus timer live in the dock. Drop a video or equalizer behind it all.
A folder is an app.
Drop a folder with a manifest and an HTML entry point into the extensions directory and it shows up as a dock app — no rebuild, no store. Served over a sandboxed scryext:// protocol. Eleven already live in the catalog — install any of them with a click.
Paint, layer, export.
Brushes, layers, blend modes, and export — a real image editor living in a pane. Built as an extension, like anything else.
Cut, caption, ship.
A timeline, captions and SRT export, and platform presets for social. The social video studio, native to the cockpit.
Four lines to a dock app.
"id": "com.you.thing",
"name": "Your App",
"entry": "index.html",
"surfaces": ["desktop.dock"]
}
Layered ambiences, shaped noise, and brainwave tones for deep work.
Live time across your time zones, right on the desktop.
Length, mass, temperature, data, time, speed — live, two-way.
Layers, brushes, selections, filters, and social-media size presets.
Format, validate, and minify — error locations and one-click copy.
Validate Lua as you type — 5.1→LuaJIT dialects and an AST inspector.
Clip timeline, captions, and one-click export presets for social.
A fast markdown scratchpad with live preview. Autosaves locally.
Pick a color, read hex/RGB/HSL, generate tints, shades, harmonies.
Work/break cycles, a progress ring, and a session counter.
A polished falling-block puzzle — 7 modes, original music, leaderboard.
A folder with a manifest is a new dock app. Build your own.
Local by default. Yours by design.
Local
A real desktop app. Your code and terminals never leave the machine.
Your keys
Bring your own API key, or ride a Claude / Codex subscription you already pay for.
No telemetry
Nothing phones home. There's no opt-in to refuse.
Open to extend
A folder and a manifest is a new app. The platform is the point.
The agent revolution doesn't need another chat window. It needs a cockpit.
Real terminals. Live status. Every session right where you left it. Pilot your agents.

Scry is in active development on Windows 11 + WSL2. The installer is an unsigned NSIS build, so SmartScreen will warn about an unknown publisher — that's expected for the beta.
