Score: 7.3/10 (Innovation: 6, Technical: 8, Documentation: 9, Utility: 6)

Wavefunction is a native macOS desktop coding agent built with Tauri and a Python engine, offering parallel worktree-isolated chat sessions, helper subagents, interactive steering, and a sandboxed Docker-based 'computer use' environment. It is notable for its minimal, desktop-first design and strong privacy features like local model support and zero data retention, filling a gap left by terminal-centric open-source agents.
