About CNVS
CNVS is a native macOS app, built in Swift, that puts several coding agents on one infinite canvas. Claude Code, Cursor and Codex sessions run in parallel as separate panels, so a developer can direct multiple pieces of work at once instead of switching between terminals and editors.
Voice control is a central idea: the product's pitch is commanding the agents by speaking. The canvas also shows live output from each agent, such as file reads, edits and test runs, and a local preview of the app being built. It works with the user's existing AI subscriptions rather than bundling its own model access.
CNVS is proprietary software sold as a one-time purchase instead of a subscription. The site lists a $99 founder price for early licenses, with higher prices for later license numbers, and includes all 1.x updates. Access is requested by email.
