Code is Continuum’s primary surface - the workbench you live in. Spawn multi-provider agents into managed worktrees, steer with a real composer, review plan → diff → PR, and ship from Mac, web, Windows, Linux, or iPhone.
São Paulo · fable-5 · xhighworktree · sp-1 · CodeEach session lands in a managed worktree with a city name - São Paulo, Lisbon, Osaka - so parallel runs stay readable. Projects keep a stable order: oldest-first by first use, not “whatever just ticked.”
Drag a project header to reorder; Continuum remembers. New repos append at the bottom. Within a repo, sessions still sort by recency so the live work stays on top.
Attachments, slash skills, @-mentions, voice dictation, and App Shots live in the same composer. Text and files survive send errors; a trailing newline keeps PTY agents happy.
Swap model and effort mid-session. Toggle Plan vs Code permission modes. Cost and tokens tick in the footer while the turn runs.

worktree
Plan + live to-dos, Diff, PR create / approve / merge, Terminal, Sources, Artifacts, and Browser Preview with comment chips - all in the Code workbench. See the full flow on Plan & review.
Step timeline from plan text. Approve & run when ready. Live checkmarks as work lands.
Live git diff, per-hunk stage / revert, commit from the same pane.
Create, approve, merge. Status, checks, and +/− without leaving the session.
Multi-pane PTY when you need raw output. Same session, same worktree.
Cited files and agent-written PDFs / images with Quick Look preview.
Comment chips inject context back into the agent - selector + note, in thread.
Mac-only. Pick 4, 6, or 8 tiles and a mix - e.g. 4 Claude, 2 Codex, 2 Cursor. Continuum opens a terminal grid, all cwd’d to your home, for hands-on multi-agent work outside managed sessions.
Groups list under Spawns in the sidebar. They’re ephemeral - they die with the app, never persist, never pair to iOS. Expand any tile full-pane without tearing down the PTY.

Claude 2› waitingClaude, Codex, Cursor, Grok, OpenCode, Antigravity, Z.ai, OpenRouter - each on its own login, no markup. Mid-session you can swap model and effort without abandoning the thread.
Plan mode stays approval-gated. Code mode skips approvals so the agent can ship. Surfaces: Mac is the reference host; web / Windows / Linux desktop share the same app; iOS is a full workbench. Details on Providers.

swap mid-session · Plan never bypasses
Short answers here, long answers in the docs.
Each Code session runs in an isolated git worktree Continuum creates and tracks - city-named, branch-scoped, and cleaned up when you end the session. You get parallel agents without stomping on your main checkout.
No. Spawn mode is Mac-only: interactive CLI tiles owned by the desktop app. Managed Code sessions - plan, diff, PR, composer - work on Mac, web/desktop, and iOS.
Plan stays approval-gated and never auto-bypasses permissions. Code skips approval gates so the agent can edit and run without a per-step confirm. You can still interrupt, swap model/effort, or switch back to Plan mid-session.
Mac is the reference host and UI. Web and the Windows/Linux desktop client render the same Continuum dashboard. iOS carries Plan / Diff / PR / Terminal / Files as a mobile workbench. Watch focuses on limits, plan approve/interrupt, and complications - not the full IDE.
Download for Mac, pair your phone, or open the web app - same workbench shape everywhere it matters.
