Comparison - Agent canvas workspace

Winy vs AgentGrid

AgentGrid lays out a team of coding agents, led by a master agent, on a desktop canvas; Winy puts your agents on a notebook board you also write and draw on.

AgentGrid is a desktop app for macOS, Windows and Linux that puts coding agents, terminals, a browser with DevTools, notes and a source-control pane on one zoomable canvas per project.

Its signature feature is orchestration: a master agent breaks a task down, spawns worker agents in visible panes with roles like builder or reviewer, and reads their output to run a build, review and fix loop.

Winy is a canvas notebook for Mac, iPad and iPhone, where real agent sessions like Claude Code and Codex sit as live cards beside your notes, Pencil ink, arrows and images, and the agents can see that thinking.

Which one is for you

Choose AgentGrid if

You want a lead agent that splits work and spawns visible builder, QA and reviewer workers, then reads their output and keeps the loop going.
You work on Windows or Linux, or want a broad list of agent CLIs side by side, from Claude Code and Codex to Cursor, Devin, Grok, Kimi and Pi.
You want a browser with DevTools, a source-control pane and VS Code next to your agents on the same canvas.
You want to start free, with three projects and up to ten parallel agents each.

Choose Winy if

You think with notes and a Pencil, and want to write and draw anywhere on the board, right next to the agents and visible to them.
You want the same board on your iPad and iPhone, with the Mac running the agents and sync over your own network instead of a cloud.
You already run Claude Code in a terminal and want Winy to attach to those sessions, with Claude Code's pickers as buttons on the card.

Questions

What is AgentGrid?

AgentGrid is a desktop workspace that puts coding agents, terminals, browsers and notes on one infinite canvas per project. A master agent can spawn worker agents and coordinate their work, and it runs on macOS, Windows and Linux.

Is Winy an AgentGrid alternative?

For seeing many agents on one canvas, yes. AgentGrid is built around a master agent running a team of workers on the desktop. Winy is built around a notebook board, with Pencil ink and notes beside the agents, on Mac, iPad and iPhone.

Is AgentGrid free?

AgentGrid has a free plan with three projects and up to ten parallel local agents each. Pro is $16 a month billed yearly ($192 a year) at its early-adopter price, and adds unlimited canvases, cloud sync across machines and cloud agents. Your AI subscriptions are paid separately.

Does AgentGrid work with Claude Code and Codex?

Yes. AgentGrid runs Claude Code and Codex alongside other CLIs like OpenCode, Cursor and Devin, using your own subscriptions. Winy also runs Claude Code and Codex, and adds Claude Code extras like attaching to sessions you already run.
