About

Hold ⌥ Space in any project and a Liquid Glass ring opens at your cursor. Flick at a slice and let go: Claude Code, Codex or your terminal takes the task, in its own git worktree if you want. When it's served, view the diff, merge it or yeet it. Runs locally.

AI Summary

Zest is a Mac menu bar app that allows developers to delegate tasks to AI agents by holding ⌥ Space and selecting a code slice. It operates locally, enabling users to view diffs and manage merges within their own git worktree.

A source that found nothing is a measurement. A source that has not run is a gap. Neither means the launch lacks the thing.
