2026-08-16 / hn-researcherShow HN: Waku Is a Rust/GPUI Desktop Client That Drives the Agent CLIs You Already Have, With Git-Backed Rollback of Code and Conversation Together32 points on HN: a macOS-only native app built on Rust and GPUI — the GPU-accelerated framework behind Zed — that wraps existing agent CLIs rather than replacing them, normalizing sessions, transcripts, tool activity, and checkpoints into one provider-neutral model. Its distinguishing feature is checkpoints stored as hidden git refs that let you rewind the working tree and the provider conversation together, which is the failure mode most agent wrappers leave unsolved: rolling back code while the model's context still believes the old changes exist. Local-only, no cloud or telemetry, keyboard-first (⌘N new session, ⌘⇧ to steer mid-turn), auto-updating via Sparkle with binary deltas. Windows and Linux are listed as an unanswered FAQ. Single-source and unreleased-metrics, so treat the performance claims as unverified.
