About Agent Deck
Build specialist AI coding agents on macOS. Cherry-pick skills, launch sessions from GitHub issues, and run agents in parallel, all in a free native Mac app. Agent Deck is the native macOS app for Pi CLI, a supercharged cockpit that turns terminal-based agent sessions into a visual, project-aware workflow. Author specialist AI coding agents, curate per-project skills, and run parallel sessions in isolated git worktrees, all from a native Mac interface that sits next to your editor, not inside it.
About Trace
A macOS menu-bar app that turns any conversation into a clean markdown transcript, with an optional on-device summary. Runs a local speech model entirely on your Mac, in dozens of languages. The moment is pinned to your transcript at the exact timestamp. Trace provides you with clear markdown transcripts and summaries that you can use anywhere. Either copy the markdown from Trace directly or have it place the file anywhere in your filesystem. Trace can also send files directly to Obsidian, Bear, Drafts or Things with a button press.
