The extensible IDE for coding agents
Zenbu is an extensible IDE for orchestrating coding agents. Shape it around exactly how you and your team work.
Zenbu is a hackable, extensible IDE-like interface designed for the Pi coding agent. It emphasizes customization, extensibility, and parallel development workflows to build and manage coding agents and plugins in real time.
Zenbu provides a hackable interface built on Zenbu.js that runs on macOS and targets the Pi coding agent. It supports: adding new functionality, customizing the interface, and building plugins in real time using the built-in agent. It is Pi-native with native support for Pi commands and integration with Pi extensions, plus multi-provider support. It enables parallel development through worktrees, running multiple agents side-by-side, built-in PR creation, and instant context switching.
Who it’s for: Developers and engineering teams working with Pi coding agents who need a customizable, extensible interface to build, test, and manage plugins and agents in parallel.
beta (currently in Beta); downloadable for macOS; active community channels (Discord) and documentation available
I build developer tools. I was a software engineer at Vercel on the Next.js core team, and co-authored React Scan, an open source tool now at 22k GitHub stars and 800k weekly installs. Now I'm building Zenbu, an extensible IDE for coding agents.
An IDE for coding agents, shaped by the way you work
Zenbu is an extensible IDE for managing coding agents, built on top of Pi, a customizable coding agent. It provides plugin-based tools that help developers run multiple agents in parallel, review generated changes, and manage complexity in agent-driven development.
