For Mac · Designed for the AI-agent workflow
Run your AI coding agents in parallel. Without losing your place.
Forkbench is the Mac terminal that gives every branch its own workspace and every agent its own seat. Stop juggling tabs and switching directories. Start shipping.
Three terminals, three branches, three worktrees — one window.
The terminal that keeps up with your agents.
One window. Every branch. Every agent. Move between them in a keystroke — nothing gets lost, nothing gets re-explained.
Parallel agents, finally calm
Give each agent its own branch, its own worktree, and its own terminal — all in one window. Switch between them instantly. Nothing gets lost when you shift attention.
Branches you can actually live in
Spin up a new branch on a fresh worktree in a single click. The git panel always reflects the terminal you're focused on, so you never run a command on the wrong branch again.
Local context, on demand
Pin instructions, prompts, and notes as `.ctx` files grouped by project. Hand them to your agent when you need them — not stuffed into every prompt.
Built for speed
Workspaces switch instantly. Idle workspaces use almost nothing. The app gets out of your way so you can keep momentum across long sessions.
Built for the people doing the hardest part of AI-assisted work.
Claude Code user
You're running several Claude Code sessions at once. Forkbench keeps every session alive and one keystroke away — even when you're three branches deep.
Cursor agent operator
Cursor for the IDE; Forkbench for the supervising terminals. One window, every agent, every branch — no more alt-tabbing through dock icons.
Engineers running real branches
No AI in your loop? Forkbench still makes worktrees first-class — the same gesture for a new branch, every time, without leaving the keyboard.
Context · $12/mo

Frequently asked.
The short answers.
What is Forkbench?
A Mac terminal made for the way AI-assisted engineers actually work — multiple branches in flight, multiple agents running, and a git panel that never lies about which branch you're on.
How do I install it?
Click Download. You'll get a `.dmg` file. Open it and drag Forkbench to Applications. That's it.
What does it need?
macOS 14 (Sonoma) or newer. No Homebrew, no installer scripts, no command-line setup.
Where is my work stored?
On your Mac. Terminal scrollback, workspace state, and your `.ctx` library all live in your local filesystem. Context (the paid add-on) opt-in syncs the memory layer across your devices through encrypted storage.
Will it work with my tools?
Yes. tmux, vim, htop, fzf, lazygit, your shell, your aliases — anything you'd run in a regular terminal works in Forkbench. We sit underneath, not in the way.
What does it cost?
The app is free. Context — the cross-session memory layer for your agents — is $12/mo. Cancel anytime. 14-day refund, no questions.
Is there a Windows or Linux version?
Not today, and we're not planning one. Forkbench is built native for Mac so it can be fast and feel right.
