# Introduction

Hover puts AI agents to work in a notch at the top centre of your screen. At rest it is a slim black island that quietly shows your AI quotas and the agents at work. Hover your pointer over it and it expands into the **Agent office**: a small 3D office where Codex, Cursor, OpenCode, Claude Code and Kiro each work as a bot at a desk, in the project folder you chose.

- **Give tasks** to the agent CLIs you already have, up to three at once.
- **Or say them out loud**: press a shortcut, speak, press it again. See [Voice](https://tryhover.co/docs/voice.md).
- **Approve risky steps** right in the notch, or let an agent run on its own.
- **Watch your quotas** for Claude Code, Kiro, Codex and Cursor.
- **Keep every session**, encrypted, and pick any of them back up with a reply.
- **Undo a turn.** Hover keeps your folder before and after every answer; see [Checkpoints](https://tryhover.co/docs/checkpoints.md).
- **Look over an agent's shoulder** with the [desk card](https://tryhover.co/docs/desk-card.md): its terminal, files, diff and pull requests.

Hover is a native app written in Rust, for Windows and Linux, with a new Mac app on the same engine (see [Hover on macOS](https://tryhover.co/docs/macos.md)). There is no account, no server and no analytics. It is free and open source under the MIT license.
