Before and after
Each time an agent finishes, Fork takes a picture of your app from before and after. Compare them side by side or with a slider.
You started three agents. Which one is waiting on you?
Agents work in terminals you can’t see. One finished ten minutes ago, one is stuck on a question, and you only find out by clicking through every window.
Fork gives every project its own tab, and the tab tells you.
One tab per project. One square that tells you.
The square on each workspace’s tab is its status. Work in one project and still see the others.
An agent is working in portfolio.

A workspace is a folder
Open a folder once. Its terminals, files, search and changes stay together in that tab, wherever your terminals go.
Your design system, live beside the terminal.
The Design tab reads colours, type, spacing and radii from your project’s own files, and redraws when an agent changes one. Click a token to copy it.
Light and dark, side by side
A project with a dark theme shows both values for every colour, so you see what an agent’s change does to each.
Also in Fork.
The smaller things that make a terminal friendlier.
Know what went wrong
When a command fails, one click explains it in plain words and types the fix for you to check. Common errors are answered offline.
Say it in plain words
Press ⌘⇧K and type what you want, like “take me up one folder”. Fork finds the command and waits for you to run it.
Your files, right there
Search every file with ⌘K. Preview code, Markdown and images beside the terminal, and put the lines you pick into it.
Safe while you learn
Fork waits for Enter before anything that changes things. Deleting moves files to the Trash, and commands that can’t be undone ask first.
Games while you wait
Snake, Stack and Space Run open in a split beside the terminal, so waiting on an agent is less dull.
Read beside it
Open a PDF or EPUB in the panel (⌘P). Fork keeps your place in every book, and says when the agent is done.
Light, dark or your Mac
Fork follows your Mac’s light or dark look until you pick one in Settings.
Cooked in the open.
Every change to Fork gets written down, with why it was made.
FreshA new way to start a workspace
⌘N opens a quick search box: type a name to make a folder, paste a GitHub link to get a project, or pick one you’ve used (a project you already have comes first, so you don’t make it twice). With no workspace open, three cards show the ways to start, each with a little line picture that moves when you point at it.
FreshName your workspaces and terminalsDouble-click a workspace tab, or press ⌘R, to rename it. Terminals take the name of the task your AI tool is working on, like “Fix login bug”, and keep it after it finishes; double-click one, or press ⌥⌘R, to name it yourself. Esc now cancels a rename instead of saving it.
SeasonedYour app’s address lives in Workspace infoThe “Your app is running · Show it” bar under the terminal is gone. The address in Workspace info is now a link: click it to see your app.
Questions, before you download.
No. It’s a terminal first: search, the panel, the command palette and the error library all work without AI, and you can run any tool you like in it. If you use Claude Code, Ask AI and the unusual-error explainer use it, with your own login.
That’s who Fork is for. It types real commands for you and waits for Enter before anything that changes things. rm moves files to the Trash, and commands that can’t be undone ask first.
Anonymous usage only: which features get used, with a random ID per install. Never your commands, paths, file names or output. You can turn it off from the start screen or Settings.
No. Fork is signed and notarized by Apple, so it opens like any other Mac app. The first time, macOS just checks you meant to open something you downloaded.
Macs with Apple Silicon (M1 and newer). It’s free. When a new version is out, a small pill in the top strip says so, and restarting into it brings your workspaces back.
No. Fork takes them on your Mac from your own app at localhost, keeps the last 20 per workspace, and never uploads them. You can turn them off in Settings.
No, that’s a different app (fork.dev). This Fork is a terminal.
