Getting Started
Rabbitty is a calm workspace for running your AI coding agents on macOS. It sits around the CLIs you already use (Claude Code, Codex, Antigravity), reading whether each one is working, done, or waiting on you, and pulling you back only when it matters. Instead of babysitting tabs to see which agent finished, you get its status in the sidebar, the menu bar, and native notifications.
Install
The fastest way:
brew tap mauscoelho/tap
brew install --cask rabbitty-beta
Or download the .dmg
and drag Rabbitty Beta to your Applications folder. See
Installation for details and requirements.
First steps
New to the terminal? No problem, here's the whole flow, step by step.
1. Open a terminal. Press ⌘T. A fresh terminal opens as a tab in the
sidebar. A terminal is just a place where you type commands, one line at a time,
and press Return to run each one.
2. Go to your project folder. You tell the terminal which folder to work in
with cd (it stands for change directory). The easiest way: type cd and a
space, then drag your folder from Finder onto the terminal window, its path
fills in for you, and press Return:
cd /Users/you/Desktop/my-project
The prompt updates to show you're now "inside" that folder.
3. Start Claude. Type:
claude
and press Return. Claude opens right there, working inside that folder. Ask it to build or change something in plain English. Rabbitty watches it for you and sends a notification when Claude finishes or needs a decision, so you don't have to sit and stare at the screen.
Don't have Claude yet? Install the Claude Code CLI first. Here's the installation guide →, then come back to step 3 and run
claude.
4. Work on more than one thing. Press ⌘T for another terminal, another
project, or another agent, and jump between them anytime with the quick switcher
(⌘P). Every terminal shows its own status, so you always know which one is busy,
done, or waiting on you.
