Pudding vs Styx

Pudding

Pudding is a macOS AI workspace for focused project work. Each task gets its own session and context, with chat, project files, a built-in browser, terminal, canvas, skills, MCP apps, and configurable model providers in one desktop workspace. It is built for developers, researchers, and knowledge workers who want long AI workflows to stay organized without juggling multiple tools.

Styx

A mac app so my coding agents can't deploy to prod without asking Run Claude Code, Codex and Gemini across a bunch of repos. Got tired of terminal chaos and agents having full access to my keys. Styx puts every project and agent in one window. Each agent works on its own branch. Nothing merges or deploys without my approval, and prod needs Touch ID. Keys stay on your machine.
