Show HN: Even, the terminal-first desktop workspace
Even is a terminal-first desktop workspace designed for developers who use AI coding agents (Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode). It organizes terminal tabs per project and includes a built-in browser, agents, local models, inline code editor, GitHub integration, and one-click service deployments, aiming to reduce the need for switching between multiple applications.
Background
- Show HN means this was posted on Hacker News by the creator himself, seeking early feedback from the developer community.
- Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode are AI coding agents that write and run code autonomously. Heavy AI users end up with many messy terminal windows — Even is a desktop app built to organize that chaos.
- It's "terminal-first": the command line is the primary interface, not a graphical IDE like VS Code. It bundles a browser, inline editor, GitHub integration, and one-click deployments so you stay in one app.
- MCP (Model Context Protocol) is an Anthropic standard letting AI models connect to external tools. Even exposes its own MCP endpoint, so AI agents can control the browser, file system, and anything else inside Even — handing the AI full control of the workspace.
- Even represents a new category: an AI-native developer workspace designed from scratch for agent-driven workflows, rather than bolting AI onto a traditional editor.
