    "why": "MonoCode is a Tauri desktop app that runs eight agents (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor CLI, Grok Build, OpenCode, Pi, omp, fx) as long as they are installed and logged in; each tab is a session and the README states that MonoCode does not sell tokens. Builds exist for macOS (.dmg for Apple Silicon and Intel), Linux (.deb, AppImage) and Windows (NSIS installer).",
    "take": "It does one thing, turning several agent CLIs into tabs instead of terminal windows, and the README itself says \"very early, expect bugs\".",
    "build": [
      "With Node.js 20+ and a Rust toolchain you can run it from source with npm run tauri dev, trim it to the agents your team uses, or fork it to add an adapter for a new CLI agent."
