zest wheel for a project called crumbs
testflight is served ✦crumbs · claude ate fr

three moves. that's it.

zest lives in your menu bar and knows which project you're in. no new IDE, no new chat window, no copy-pasting prompts.

1

summon it

press ⌥ space in finder or xcode. zest reads the project and loads its wheel — xcode, node, python, whatever.

2

pick a slice

hover, click, or hit 1–8. slices with "…" open a second ring, like screenshots → iphone · ipad · mac · watch.

3

let it cook

the job runs in the background with your agent. you get a "served ✦" ping and every log lands in .zest/out.

slices that come built in.

open an xcode project and these are already on the wheel. node and python projects get their own set.

faq

the stuff people actually ask.

does my code go through zest's servers?

no. zest runs your agents locally on your mac with your own logins. we never see your code, prompts or api keys.

why isn't it on the mac app store?

app store apps live in apple's sandbox, which blocks them from launching tools like claude code, codex or your terminal. that's literally zest's whole job, so it ships direct — signed and notarized by apple, with automatic updates.

what do i need?

macOS 26 or later, plus at least one agent installed — claude code, codex, gemini cli — or just shell commands. ghostty is optional; zest falls back to terminal.

does it only work for ios apps?

nope. xcode projects get app store slices, node gets dev server / deploy / speed check, python gets tests and lint, and anything else gets a general wheel. or write your own.

is it a subscription?

no. pay once, keep it. every 1.x update is included.
