Meet Genie — where you and your agents stay in flow
Tynn exists to create a harmonious flow state between humans and AI agents. Genie is where that flow lives on your desktop — an Agentic Development Environment (ADE) that puts every project, terminal, editor, and background process in one window, with your agents reaching out the moment they need you. Built for agentic engineering, so the work moves and you never lose the thread.

BetaGenie is in beta and isn't code-signed yet, so your OS may warn you on first launch. On Windows, click More info → Run anyway.
The more agents you run, the more flow you lose
One agent is easy. Five agents across three projects is chaos: a forest of terminals in scattered windows, no idea which one just finished or which one is stuck waiting on you. So you tab-hunt, you miss things, and the flow state Tynn works so hard to create evaporates the moment the work leaves the board.
Genie closes that gap. It gathers every project and terminal into one window, and flips the model: instead of you watching the agents, the agents reach out to you — only when they're done or blocked. You stay heads-down on what matters; Genie handles the noticing.
Your whole engineering surface, in one window
Workspaces, terminals, an editor, processes, and your agents — all in one place.
Every project, one window
Open as many workspaces as you actually work in and run them side by side — each with its own terminals, editors, and background processes. Switch projects with a click; the one you left keeps running, hidden, exactly where you left it.
Terminals that outlive the app
Spin up multiple real PTY terminals per workspace — enough for claude code, vim, or htop — in an adaptive grid (full, split, focus-stack, 2×2). Turn on detached terminals and your sessions run in a background process that survives a full quit: relaunch and your agent reattaches, scrollback and working directory intact.
A code editor, built in
Browse and edit files in a tree tinted by git status, with tabs, pin, and a MagicWand. Drag a file to move it inside the workspace, or drag one straight in from Explorer or Finder. Prefer Cursor or VS Code? One click hands the file off.
Background processes that stay up
Run dev servers, queue workers, and SSR as managed services — start/stop/restart, live logs, crash auto-restart. They run independently of the window, so a Genie update never kills your stack.
Your agents reach out to you
You're almost never watching the terminal an agent is in. So Genie flips it: a finished agent makes its terminal glow across the whole UI (imDone), and a blocked one raises an OS-level question that floats above every app until you answer (ForceTheQuestion). You stay heads-down; the work finds you.
Agents that drive the workspace
Genie runs a local MCP server, auto-wired into every terminal. Your agents can manage background processes, open and steer terminals, and even launch other agents — all over a channel scoped to this one workspace.
Issue Watch, per project
Toggle which repos to watch; a calm feed surfaces open Issues, PRs, and Dependabot alerts. A rail dot tells you there's something new — you look when you're ready.
Bring any project into the flow
Point Genie at any local folder, or paste a remote git URL and it clones with your existing auth (submodules included). First-class Aionima .agi support: create a fresh envelope, convert a messy folder (it scans and shows a plan first), or import an existing one.
It reaches you anywhere
Your desktop, in your pocket — over a private, encrypted Tailscale link.
Drive Genie from your phone
BetaPair your phone over a Tailscale-encrypted link and get a live dashboard of your desktop: answer a ForceTheQuestion, watch a terminal stream, and steer sessions from anywhere on your tailnet — nothing exposed to the public internet.
Work Mode
In progressConnect one desktop Genie to another over the same Tailscale link — one acts as host, the other drives it remotely. Run the heavy machine in the studio and steer it from the laptop on the couch.
Ships like a real app
Connected, kept current, and native on every desktop.
GitHub connected
Link a GitHub account once via Device Flow — no client secret stored, the token lives in your OS keychain — then create .agi envelopes straight onto GitHub under your account or any org you belong to.
Checksum-verified auto-update
Genie polls Releases on launch, downloads new builds in the background, verifies the SHA-512 recorded in latest.yml, and prompts a one-click restart — snapshotting detached terminals first so nothing is lost.
Windows, macOS & Linux
Native installers for all three — an NSIS .exe, a .dmg, and an .AppImage — from one cross-platform Electron build, with the matching one auto-detected for your machine above.
Built for Tynn, only with Tynn
Genie isn't a generic terminal manager. It's wired into Tynn end to end: sign in once and your machine becomes an authenticated device on your account; your agents get the Tynn MCP in every terminal automatically; and the work you ship stays in lockstep with your Tynn board. That tight loop — board, desktop, and agents as one system — is the whole point, and it's a Tynn exclusive.
