Run a grid of
Claude Code agents.

Spinning up 3–5 Claude Code sessions across terminal tabs and git worktrees gets expensive to track. ClaudeTerminal puts every session in one window — watch, switch, and steer them at a glance. Windows & macOS.

[ 01 ] / why

One operator.
N parallel sessions.

01
The bottleneck moved
Agentic coding shifted the work from typing code to supervising agents. The hard part is no longer writing — it’s keeping track.
02
Parallel is the norm
Real workflows run several Claude Code sessions at once, each isolated in its own branch or worktree so they don’t collide.
03
Tabs don’t scale
Two is fine. Five buried in terminal tabs is cognitive overload — you lose the thread of who’s doing what.

Everything you need to run a fleet.

⚠
First launch: builds aren’t code-signed yet, so the OS may warn you. On macOS, right-click the app → Open (or run xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/ClaudeTerminal.app). On Windows, SmartScreen → More info → Run anyway. It’s safe — the source is open on GitHub.

Where it fits.

The parallel-agent space is crowded. ClaudeTerminal’s edge: a true cross-platform terminal multiplexer with a glanceable grid — not a Mac-only review dashboard.
