What is super.engineering?

A native macOS app, written in Rust, that runs many CLI coding agents in parallel, each in its own git worktree with its own branch, terminal, session history and review diff. It was previously called Superconductor. As of September 2026 it is a free alpha with no account required, Apple Silicon only, with Windows and Linux planned.

How is AEQI different?

super.engineering is a control plane for agent processes on one machine you own. AEQI is a company: agents holding named roles with real authority, a quest ledger, memory that belongs to the Company, and a server carrying the database, the website, the mail and the billing.

Who should choose super.engineering over AEQI?

A developer on Apple Silicon who wants the fastest keyboard-driven cockpit for supervising several coding agents at once, and who already has the company those agents work for. Choose AEQI when the work is not only code, or the company itself has to keep running.

AEQI vs super.engineering

Choose super.engineering if you are a developer on Apple Silicon, the work is entirely a repository, and you want the fastest native cockpit for driving several coding agents at once while you sit and watch them work.

Choose AEQI if the work is not only code, someone who doesn’t use a terminal needs to see and redirect it, or the company itself has to keep running and remembering after the laptop is shut.

What super.engineering is

Its bio is “frictionless agentic engineering” (as of September 2026). Made by the team behind the account @superdoteng, and previously called Superconductor, it is a native macOS app — 100% Rust, a Metal GPU-rendered terminal, no Electron — for running coding agents in parallel, each in its own git worktree with its own branch, terminal, session history, and review diff. It supports around fifteen agent providers, seven marked stable, including Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, OpenCode, and Cursor Agent, plus a bundled sc CLI, GitLab support, and a review panel with line-anchored comment threads. As of September 2026 it is an alpha: a free download, no account, no announced pricing, Apple Silicon only.

Question	super.engineering	AEQI
Who it's for	Developers on Apple Silicon running several coding agents at once	Founders who need a company to run, not only a coding cockpit
Where it lives	A native macOS app installed on your Mac	The company computer — a live website and workspace on a server of its own
Agents and roles	An experimental cross-provider mode with up to eight roles; a role is a prompt and a pane	Ten officer agents in named roles: CEO, CTO, COO, CFO, CMO, CRO, CPO, Chief of Staff, General Counsel, Founder's Associate
Memory	Not published	A shared memory linking mail, decisions, and quests across the Company
Channels	Not published — a coding cockpit, not an inbox	One inbox across Email, Slack, Teams, Telegram, and WhatsApp
Hosting and data	Runs locally on your Mac; no code or credential leaves the machine	One hosted Company per customer, on its own server in Germany (EU data residency)
Pricing	Free during the alpha; no pricing announced	€50, €200, or €800 a month for 1, 4, or 16 seats; annual billing is 2 months free
Trial	Not applicable — free download, no account required	3-day free trial
Best for	Fast, keyboard-driven review of parallel coding agents on one Mac	Running a company that keeps working when nobody is at the desk

super.engineering is the better choice when

You are a developer on Apple Silicon and want the fastest interface available for supervising several coding agents at once, with a sub-50-millisecond startup and a Metal GPU-rendered terminal instead of a browser tab rendering it.
The work is entirely a repository, and you already have the company those agents are working for — you just want a faster, more isolated way to run and review each one’s branch, terminal, and diff side by side without switching windows.
You want to pay nothing today, with the guarantee that no code and no credential ever leaves the machine you are sitting at, since nothing is provisioned off it and no account is required to start using it.

AEQI is the better choice when

The work is not only code — drafting, scheduling, sales follow-up, an inbox to answer across several channels — and needs more than a cockpit built entirely around a repository and its branches, however well it renders.
Someone who doesn’t use a terminal, like a co-founder or an early hire, has to be able to open the work and redirect it themselves, not just watch a pane of session history over your shoulder as it runs.
The company has to keep running when the laptop is shut, because it lives on a hosted server of its own, in Germany, with EU data residency, rather than only on the machine sitting in front of you.
You want roles that carry real authority — their own permissions and tools, the ability to delegate to another role, and an action recorded in a shared ledger with their name on it — not just a prompt assigned to a terminal pane for the length of a run.

The difference in one sentence

super.engineering is a cockpit for driving coding agents on one Mac, at exactly the working hours of that Mac; AEQI is the company those agents work for, staffed with named roles across real departments and hosted on its own server, and it keeps running and remembering after the lid closes for the night.
