Waku - Native app for all your coding agents
Show HN: I built a native app for coding agents with Rust and GPUI
Waku is a native desktop application built with Rust and GPUI that unifies all your coding agent CLIs into a single, fast, keyboard-first interface. It provides a unified timeline for sessions, transcripts, tool activity, and checkpoints, all stored locally on your machine. With features like checkpointing your working tree under hidden git refs for easy rollback, and support for stream-json, JSON-RPC, and live events, Waku offers a seamless, local, and private experience for managing AI coding workflows.
Waku drives the agent CLIs you already have — sessions, transcripts, tool activity, and checkpoints in one fast graphite window, entirely on your machine.

GPUI is going to be react for Rust ecosystem. Everyone seems to be on Rust & GPUI bandwagon these days. I've built something similar using Expo. That's the stack that I'm most familiar with and surprisingly the performance of the app is pretty good. Still ironing our few edge cases, but would like to benchmark again Waku. https://github.com/pounce-ai/pounce

I built my first "real" GUI app recently with the help of Codex, as in actually looks and feels good.
I used GPUI and the one-dark theme from Zed and it's super smooth, the code is super easy to understand and I love the way it looks.
Not quite as simple as the VB6 and forms apps of my youth but as a Rust dude I definitely grokked it easily and was surprised how much of it I was able to do myself once the agent had helped with wiring up the scaffold.

So this is basically a wrapper over the existing agents from differnt vendors?
Just poke it a bit and find for codex it use app server protocol too

This is humor, isn't it?
