AZUREAL - a vibe-centric, minimal TUI IDE w/ multi-agent & multi-worktree support
I initially built this as merely a personal alternative to all the other apps of this kind because I didn't like that they use unnecessarily resource-heavy and clunky web tech UIs (screw Electron) and I was already using Claude Code and Codex in their CLI forms so the terminal was far more comfortable to me — but over time, development quickly started taking a more unique direction and I ended up with an app that is not only unique but has the potential to be the quintessential tool for vibecoders...
Introducing AZUREAL — a minimal and efficient AI-centric development environment. TUI-based (powered by ratatui — big shoutout to its creators and maintainers) and coded in Rust to maximize speed and security.
Currently supports both Claude Code and Codex, with its own session store that keeps conversations portable and lightweight — and lets both agents work within the same conversation. Multi-worktree support lets you run as many agents as you want on separate branches simultaneously. Also includes GitView, a Git integration panel with automatic conflict resolution for seamless merging of worktrees, and a Health panel that provides optimization features for your codebase and workflow such as modularizing oversized files and filling in documentation gaps...
Additionally: speech-to-text and an integrated terminal, filetree, and file viewer/editor with tabs.

All in a single terminal window! GitHub link here
I've designed the app to be as visually simple and helpful as possible to minimize the learning curve but there are also a very in-depth and comprehensive README and manual (linked in the README) for you in there too!
Please see the attached demo video!
Appreciate your consideration and hope it proves useful!
P.S. also would love contributions and feedback as this is not nearly yet the complete full-fledged IDE I envision it to be!
