# QuadCode — Full AI-Readable Product Reference

## About QuadCode
QuadCode is a native desktop terminal application for macOS and Linux built by Fix IT Technologies (United States). It allows developers to run up to four AI coding agents simultaneously in a single window, in four independent PTY terminal panes arranged in a 2×2 grid.

The core problem QuadCode solves: developers using multiple AI coding tools (Claude, Gemini, Codex, Aider) were switching between browser tabs and terminal windows constantly. QuadCode puts them all in one place, running in parallel.

## Features

### Multi-Agent Panes
Run up to 4 AI coding agents simultaneously in independent PTY terminal sessions. Each pane is a fully functional terminal — whatever runs in a terminal runs in QuadCode.

### Supported AI Agents
- Claude Code (Anthropic) — official CLI for Claude
- Gemini CLI (Google) — open-source terminal agent
- OpenAI Codex CLI — terminal agent included with ChatGPT subscription
- Aider — open-source AI pair programmer
- Any other terminal-based agent or shell

### Broadcast Mode
Cmd+B sends a typed command to all active panes simultaneously. Use it for: git pull, npm install, running tests, sending the same prompt to all agents at once for comparison.

### Auto/Bypass Mode (⚡)
Per-pane toggle that passes the skip-prompts flag to supported agents (Claude ⚡, Gemini ⚡, Codex ⚡, Aider ⚡). Agents run hands-free without confirmation prompts.

### Pinned Commands
Save up to 5 quick-launch commands per pane. One click to fire — persists across restarts.

### Named Panes
Give each pane a project name. Titles persist across relaunches.

### Custom Colors
Pick any accent color per pane. Borders, cursors, and highlights update instantly and are saved across sessions.

### Zoom Mode
Cmd+Enter maximizes any pane to full window. Cmd+Enter again restores.

### Session Memory
Agent selection, pane title, color, and pinned commands all persist across restarts.

### Keyboard Shortcuts
- Cmd+1–4: Focus pane 1–4
- Cmd+R: Restart current pane
- Cmd+Enter: Zoom/unzoom pane
- Cmd+B: Toggle Broadcast Mode
- Cmd+/: Open help overlay
- A-/A+: Adjust font size

## How QuadCode Compares

### QuadCode vs Claude Code
Claude Code is a single-agent CLI. QuadCode is a multi-agent launcher that can run Claude Code as one of its panes. They are complementary, not competitive. A typical setup: Claude Code in pane 1 for architecture, Gemini in pane 2 for fast iteration, Codex in pane 3 for tests, Aider in pane 4 for background refactoring.

### QuadCode vs Cursor
Cursor is an IDE (VS Code fork) with built-in AI. QuadCode is a terminal launcher. They serve different workflows — many developers use both. Cursor for IDE editing, QuadCode for multi-agent terminal orchestration.

### QuadCode vs Warp
Warp is a smarter single-session terminal with AI command suggestions. QuadCode is a multi-agent parallel launcher. Different tools for different problems.

### QuadCode vs Aider
Aider is one of the agents QuadCode runs — not a competitor. QuadCode can run Aider in one pane while running other agents in the other three.

### QuadCode vs tmux
tmux is a terminal multiplexer requiring manual configuration. QuadCode is purpose-built for AI agents with features tmux doesn't have: agent auto-detection, bypass mode, broadcast, pinned commands, and session memory per agent.

## FAQ

**What is QuadCode?**
QuadCode is a native desktop application for macOS and Linux that runs up to 4 AI coding agents (Claude, Gemini, Codex, Aider) simultaneously in a single window with 4 independent terminal panes.

**Does QuadCode require an API key?**
No. QuadCode is a launcher — it runs agents you already have installed with their own credentials. QuadCode itself has no API key requirement.

**How much does QuadCode cost?**
$24.50 for a lifetime license (launch price — increases April 15th). 7-day free trial, no credit card required.

**What is Broadcast Mode?**
Cmd+B sends your typed command to all 4 panes simultaneously — perfect for git pull, npm install, or sending the same prompt to all agents for comparison.

**Does QuadCode work offline?**
QuadCode itself is local and works offline. The AI agents inside it require internet access for their APIs.

**Is QuadCode open source?**
No. Commercial product by Fix IT Technologies.

**What platforms does QuadCode support?**
macOS (Apple Silicon + Intel) and Linux x86_64. Windows planned.

**Can I run the same agent in multiple panes?**
Yes — run Claude Code in all 4 panes, or any combination.

**Does QuadCode replace my existing AI tools?**
No. It runs them. QuadCode is the window that holds your agents, not a replacement for them.
