Kanary Agents

Kanary Agents is an AI app to carry a conversation between Claude, Codex, and Cursor chats.

Kanary Agents is a macOS app designed to connect your AI chat applications. It allows you to carry a conversation between Claude, Codex, and Cursor using the /relay command. The app proposes what is new since the last relay, preserving your context and keeping voices labeled without rewriting messages. Images and files travel as paths and links rather than being copied or uploaded, and git-ignored sensitive files are left out. It is built for developers who use multiple AI chat apps and want a second opinion from a different model while staying in the loop. You can use it to relay text, context, and shared history across supported AI apps on your Mac.
