Zoku FAQ — the Mac app for parallel coding agents
Zoku is a native Mac app at heyzoku.com — not the hotel. Answers below cover Claude Code /voice, pricing, Cloud credits, and macOS 14.2+.
A native macOS app that runs Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Pi, and OpenCode as live terminals on one canvas, and lets you spawn, redirect, and interrupt them by voice. Each agent gets a name, so you talk to Atlas instead of hunting for pane 3.
No. This Zoku is a native Mac app at heyzoku.com for running Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and other CLIs on one canvas. The hotel is a different company.
No. Anthropic’s /voice talks inside one Claude Code session. Zoku is a separate Mac app: it launches several CLIs, gives each a name and a worktree, and lets you spawn or redirect them by voice from any app.
Not for the canvas — it launches the CLIs already on your Mac, on the subscriptions you already pay for. Live coding voice can use optional Cloud or your own OpenAI key; Local and Model voice stay on-device with neither.
Claude, Codex, Cursor, Pi, and OpenCode ship configured, plus a plain terminal. Add any other CLI with a launch command, the words you say to spawn it, and the key that interrupts it.
$69 once during early access — founding $49 ended, then $99. 14-day money-back.
No. Commands are transcribed on-device with Parakeet, so they're instant, private, and unlimited. Only the optional Cloud companion uses credits.
Not for the canvas, hands-free coding voice, or dictation — those run on this Mac with Lifetime alone. Cloud is the optional talking companion (memory, screen, Slack or Gmail), bought in-app; cancelling it never touches the license.
On this Mac, closing the window leaves them running; sleep does not. Point a workspace at your own machine over SSH and they keep going through sleep, quit, and disconnect.
Play with the live canvas on the homepage. There's no free tier. If Zoku isn't for you, email pd@heyzoku.com within 14 days for a full refund.
macOS 14.2+. On-device voice needs Apple Silicon, and Zoku asks for Microphone and Accessibility access on first launch.
No, and none is planned. The canvas, menu bar, notch status, and on-device speech are all native macOS.
