# Waffle

> Auto-tiling macOS terminal for developers running AI coding agents in parallel.

## What is Waffle?

Waffle is a free, native macOS terminal app that automatically tiles every terminal session into a single window. No window management, no configuration, no split commands — just open terminals and they arrange themselves into an optimal grid.

It is purpose-built for developers who run multiple AI coding agents (Claude Code, Cursor, Aider, etc.) simultaneously and need to see all of them at once.

## Key Features

- **Auto-tiling grid**: 1 terminal = fullscreen. 2 = 50/50 split. 4 = 2x2. 9 = 3x3. Automatic.
- **Project grouping**: Auto-detects git repos and colour-codes sessions by project. Filter by project with one keystroke.
- **Keyboard-first**: Navigate and manage sessions entirely from the keyboard.
- **Zero config**: No dotfiles, no .tmux.conf, no naming sessions. Open Waffle, start working.
- **Native macOS**: Built in Swift/SwiftUI. Apple Silicon native. Requires macOS 14+.
- **Free**: No subscription, no account, no trial.

## Who is it for?

- Developers running multiple AI coding agents in parallel
- Anyone tired of alt-tabbing between terminal windows
- Power users who want tmux-like tiling without the configuration
- Teams working across multiple repos simultaneously

## Comparisons

Waffle replaces the need for tmux split panes, iTerm2 window arrangements, or manually tiling terminal windows. Unlike tmux, it requires zero configuration. Unlike iTerm2, every session is visible at once — no tabs to cycle through.
