How to hide Agent View by default on startup in Antigravity

I really enjoy using Antigravity so far. I use it mainly as an editor like VS Code, but it has some nice touches. For example, the Save prompt when closing an unsaved file has keyboard-navigable options that you can cycle through without reaching for the mouse. Even though you can always use Cmd + S to save or Cmd + D to discard in VS Code since those are built-in Mac shortcuts, it feels very nice to have full keyboard navigation on the dialog itself.

That said, since I use Claude Code as my primary agent, I don’t need the Agent view that Antigravity opens by default on startup.

Here is how to turn it off.

Steps

1. Click on the gear/settings icon in the header at the top-right corner, then click on “Open Antigravity User Settings”. A dialog will open.

2. Under the “Agent” section, scroll down and find Open Agent on Reload.

3. Turn it off. By default, it is turned on.

That is it. Next time you open Antigravity, the Agent view will no longer appear on startup.
