Intent, a daily-driver coding workspace for a year, goes free and open source
Wattenberger · x · 2026-11-06
Developer Wattenberger reveals Intent, an open-source coding tool used daily for over a year, built on the belief that developers should work in spaces rather than chat threads. It's free, bring-your-own-agents, runs on mac/windows/linux/remote with sleek mobile apps, extends native agent capabilities via new primitives (custom hooks, browser tools, freeform notes), and supports focus plus multitasking across 50+ workspaces. Multiplayer collaboration is nearly ready, with more features teased.
