Agent: Native macOS Coding IDE Built for AI-First Development
GitHub·medium signal
A new native macOS coding IDE called 'Agent' hit 57 points on Hacker News, positioning itself as a purpose-built development environment rather than a VS Code fork or Electron wrapper. Built with native AppKit, it targets developers who want a Mac-native coding experience designed around AI agent workflows from the ground up. The timing is notable alongside Cursor 3's move away from VS Code — the market is splintering between agent-first tools and traditional IDE extensions.
