Your AI agent shouldn't chain you to a terminal. Backgrind floats it in an always-on-top window over any app — even a fullscreen game — and pings you only when it actually needs a decision. Bring your own (Claude Code, Cursor) or use Grindy, the built-in agent with zero setup. Multi-agent tabs, voice, Build/Plan, click-through, local-first — your login, your history.
