A terminal interface for the Pi coding agent
Hibiscus is a focused full-screen chat for the Pi coding agent. Pi handles the models, authentication and sessions. We made the space around them feel better to work in.

INTERFACE SKETCH / NOT A PRODUCT SCREENSHOT
01 / The experience
The useful part isn't just the answer. It's how easily you can stay oriented, intervene, and return to the work.
Type while the agent works. Enter steers the current run; queue a follow-up for after it settles. Waiting messages stay visible until they are actually delivered.
Resume the latest session in a directory or pick an earlier one. Starting fresh clears the view, not your history.
Paste an image from the clipboard straight into a prompt, with an attachment count before you send.
A keyboard picker of every model your Pi configuration knows about, grouped by provider — switch without reauthenticating.
Risky shell commands ask for an explicit decision before running, and denying is the default. Routine work keeps moving without prompt fatigue.
NO_COLOR, piped input and small terminals get a plain line mode. When something goes wrong mid-prompt, /restore and /reconnect help you recover without replaying anything.
02 / A clear boundary
We deliberately didn't rebuild the intelligence. Hibiscus drives a Pi session and stays out of its way — one clear job, done well: a calmer terminal for the way developers actually work with an agent.

03 / Get started
Checksum-verified prebuilt binaries for Linux and macOS, x86-64 and ARM64. The installer reuses an existing Pi installation or sets it up for you. Updates stay in-app with hibiscus update.

Hibiscus is one example of how we work: keep the scope honest, then care deeply about the details people live with every day.
