Sidebridge is a native macOS Swift app that provides project awareness for agent‑native development. It appears as a floating sidebar that follows the active terminal pane, Codex or Claude Code window, surfacing git status, diffs, file trees, agent activity, and more — just like an IDE’s peripheral vision.
- Automatic focus tracking: Sidebridge follows the currently active project, branch, source, or worktree without manual switching.
- IDE‑like panels: Shows git status, diffs, file explorer, agent tool calls, goals, skills, and configurable modules.
- Terminal‑scoped behavior: Works with tmux, Ghostty, iTerm2, Terminal, Warp, Alacritty, WezTerm, kitty, and the Codex/Claude Code desktop apps; tucks to a side tab when focus leaves the terminal scope.
- Customizable layout: Drag‑to‑reorder modules, hide what you don’t need, save per‑repo or global layouts.
- History & provenance: Retains focus spans, commits, tool calls, file changes, and process shifts; includes a history viewer, global project activity search, and export options.
- Agent‑ready memory: Exposes structured JSON via a Compiler API, Agent Brief writable surface, and MCP‑compatible context for agents to read and write project state.
Targeted at developers who work in terminal‑heavy, multi‑agent environments, Sidebridge eliminates the catch‑up tax by keeping project context visible at a glance, reducing context loss and enabling deeper flow.
