# Zoku

> Zoku is the voice-first agentic development environment for Mac. Run an army
> of coding agents — Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Pi, or any CLI you add — side
> by side on one canvas, each on its own git worktree, steered by on-device voice.

## What it is
- Native macOS app (requires macOS 14 / Sonoma or later; on-device voice needs Apple Silicon).
- One canvas of live agent terminals with spoken names (Atlas, Sage, …).
- Hold ⌥⌘ from any app to spawn, redirect, or interrupt agents — even with the window closed.
- Agents can spawn, message, and wait on each other via the `zoku` CLI.
- On-device speech (Parakeet) — instant, private, unlimited.
- Drives the agent CLIs and subscriptions already on your Mac. No API keys, no second meter.

## Pricing
One-time purchase — Zoku Lifetime:
- $49 during early access (regularly $100). Pay once, yours forever, lifetime updates.
- No free plan. Optional Cloud credits for the hosted voice companion are sold inside the app only.
- Structured pricing: https://heyzoku.com/pricing.md
The live canvas demo on the homepage needs no install; the app is a paid Lifetime license.

## How it differs
- vs. tmux + worktrees: names instead of pane numbers, voice from any app, real lifecycle status, sessions that survive restarts.
- vs. free parallel-agent launchers (Conductor, Vibe Kanban, and friends): those stop at parallelism; Zoku adds voice, agent-to-agent control, and "who needs you" status from agent hooks.
