# What is NeuroSquad

> A two-minute tour of what NeuroSquad does and the few ideas behind it.

NeuroSquad is a free desktop app for Windows and macOS for working with AI coding agents — Claude
Code, Codex, Antigravity CLI, Qwen Code and [18 more agent CLIs](https://docs.neurosquad.ai/en/agents). Instead of juggling terminal windows, you get **one big canvas** where every agent lives in
its own card, next to the tools it works with. Press play and watch one turn:

## Four ideas, and you know the whole app

  - **Workspace**: One project folder. Every agent you add to a workspace works inside that folder. The sidebar lists your workspaces.
  - **Card**: Anything on the canvas: an agent, a terminal, a browser, a note, a task board and [many more](https://docs.neurosquad.ai/en/cards). You drag them, resize them and group them however you like.
  - **Arrow**: A line from one card to another. An arrow from an agent **gives it the ability** to use the other card — browse in that browser, run commands in that terminal, write in that note, or hand work to that agent. [More about arrows](https://docs.neurosquad.ai/en/canvas/arrows).
  - **Attention**: When an agent finishes, or stops to ask you something, NeuroSquad tells you: a sound, a glowing card, a desktop notification. You can look away and still not miss it.

## What it is not

- **Not a new AI.** NeuroSquad runs the agents you already have, with your own accounts. It doesn't
replace them.
- **Not a cloud service for your code.** Your agents, projects and files stay on your computer. You
sign in with a free NeuroSquad account, and the app sends usage statistics — counts, never code,
files or prompts. See [Account & sign-in](https://docs.neurosquad.ai/en/getting-started/account).
