Coding agents for my remote workflow

The problem
My repositories ran on Coder. Configuring the available tools for my setup was complex. Rather than spend more time managing that setup, I built a tool around how I needed to run coding agents and review their work.
What it solved
Dhek brought agent sessions, previews, and pull-request review into one macOS window. I could run agents in parallel against my remote repositories and review the results in a workflow tailored to my needs at the time.
Design system
Dhek follows the macOS 27 sidebar idiom. One frosted material covers every panel, one neutral fill marks selection, and one capsule control handles every either/or choice.
