Building a native macOS AI client in Swift. Trying to balance a clean "Apple" glassmorphism with a technical "hacker" terminal vibe. Thoughts on this UI density?
I got tired of heavy Electron-based AI wrappers, so I’m building a pure native macOS client for local LLMs (with an in-process multi-agent engine).
I wanted the main chat to feel smooth and native (custom Markdown table rendering, clean typography), but I also added a "Process Log" on the bottom left and a "Module Status" panel to show exactly what the background agents are doing in real-time.
My question for you UI/UX folks
Does the monospace terminal font in the sidebar clash too much with the standard system font in the chat?
Is the layout too dense/cluttered for everyday use, or is it a good balance for power users?
Any feedback on the typography, spacing, or color palette (Dark theme + Cyan accents) would be highly appreciated!
