Own it once. Build forever.

Download free and run your first 100 prompts on us. Keep Sparkle forever for $99 one-time. No monthly subscription. No per-seat nonsense.

You will need your own Claude Code subscription to use Sparkle. We recommend the Max plan. In fact, you’ll probably become so productive, you might need several of them (we help you intelligently manage Claude usage limits across multiple plans).

AI enhancements

The optional AI layer on top of Sparkle

Core Sparkle, the terminal, the Composer, the agent grid, runs without any of these. AI enhancements are an optional layer of intelligence you can toggle on once you own the app. Each one makes calls beyond your own Claude Code session, so they're metered in consumption credits (your $200 grant covers a lot of them).

Auto-naming agents

Every agent is named from its first prompt, so a busy grid stays readable at a glance.

Voice-first dictation

Talk to Sparkle with realtime streaming transcription and noise filtering ("Hey Sparkle").

"Think" mode

Sparkle reasons through a plan before it builds, so harder specs land more effectively.

Composer intelligence

Screenshot vision and ghost-text autocomplete inside the Composer as you write prompts.

Orchestrator

Decomposes your spec and spins up worker agents, each in its own git worktree.

Terminal help tips

Plain-language tips plus narration of what each agent is building as it works.

Consumption credits

What do AI enhancement credits pay for?

Each AI enhancement draws down consumption credits when it runs. You spend only on what you actually use. Leave a feature off, and it costs nothing. Here's roughly what each one draws.
AI Enhancement FeatureCredit Usage
Auto-naming agents (Claude Haiku per first prompt)~$0.001 per agent name
Orchestrator decomposes your spec into worker tasksVaries by spec length
Voice-first dictation (streaming transcription)Low–moderate (per minute)
Composer screenshot vision + ghost-text autocompleteLow–moderate (per request)
Prompt history search across sessionsLow (embedding-based)
Plain-language narration of what each agent is buildingLow (Haiku, per summary)
Production Readiness Gate scoringLow (per gate run)
"Think" mode session contextModerate (session-length dependent)
Your Claude Code sessions themselves run through your own Claude account (a Claude Max/Pro subscription or your own Anthropic API key) and are billed there, not by Sparkle. AI enhancement credits only cover Sparkle’s coordination and intelligence layer.
