Sessions waiting for your answer sit at the top. Running ones come next. Finished ones are grouped by day. • Read the work like a document. Text, code and tables look clean, and tool steps fold into one quiet line. • Reply, stop, or start. Answer a question, stop a task that went the wrong way, or start a new one in the folder you choose. • Catch up after a bad connection. Zode shows what you missed. • Light and dark look that follow your phone. HOW IT CONNECTS Zode is a companion, so ZCode keeps running on your Mac.
