Hold ⌥Space, flick, and an AI agent does the dev chore
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.
Why I built it: I ship Mac and iOS apps with Claude Code and Codex, and I kept typing the same prompts over and over: "take App Store screenshots", "push this to TestFlight", "review my diff before I commit". The agents were great. Getting the task to them was the slow part.
So Zest is one gesture. Hold ⌥ Space in any project and a Liquid Glass ring opens at your cursor. Flick toward a slice, let go, and that task goes to Claude Code, Codex, Gemini, Ghostty or a plain shell command. Background jobs ping you when they're "served ✦".
What's new in 1.0:
Five rings on one key: project, agents, git, utils, jobs. Keep holding and scroll to swap.
It knows where you are: Finder, Xcode, Cursor, VS Code, Zed and Ghostty, and it grabs the text you had selected. Its own worktree: any slice can run on its own git branch, so your checkout stays clean.
The served ring: view the diff, merge it, yeet it, run it again, or keep going in Ghostty.
Race: the same prompt to Claude and Codex in two worktrees. Keep the winner's diff.
Fix what I see: screenshots the window you're stuck on and sends it to Claude with one line from you.
Make it yours: drop a .zest.yml in a repo to set your own slices, agents and prompts. Commit it and your whole team gets the same wheel.
Privacy: everything runs locally with your own Claude/Codex/Gemini logins. No servers, no account, and your code never leaves your Mac.
Pricing: 14-day free trial with everything unlocked, then $19 once for launch week (normally $29), on up to 3 Macs. No subscription. Needs macOS 26, because it's built on Liquid Glass.
I'd love to hear what you'd put on your wheel. I'll be here all day answering questions 🙌

Who hunted Zest?
Zest was hunted by MEET JETHWA. A “hunter” on Product Hunt is the community member who submits a product to the platform — uploading the images, the link, and tagging the makers behind it. Hunters typically write the first comment explaining why a product is worth attention, and their followers are notified the moment they post. Around 79% of featured launches on Product Hunt are self-hunted by their makers, but a well-known hunter still acts as a signal of quality to the rest of the community.
