   Scapefree tier, from $9.99/mo▲59

   Hey HN, we've been using Claude Code daily for months, and built Scape to fix our biggest pain point: managing multiple worktrees quickly & reducing the mental load of switching between them quickly. What we built: Scape is a macOS menu bar app that sits on top of Claude Code and gives you: - One-click worktrees: click a button, get a new git worktree with a Claude session already working on it. Develop in parallel without leaving your current branch. - Toolkit: per-session actions like "Create PR", "Commit & Push", "Run & Fix Tests." Add your own with bash scripts or prompts. -…

    Lazyworktree, a TUI manager for Git worktrees▲9

    Inspired by lazygit, I have been working on a TUI to manage git worktrees easily, making some workflows for creating and managing worktrees a bit more straightforward. For example, creating a worktree from a PR/MR or from local changes. Executing commands on a worktree, or running a custom tmux session directly on a selected worktree. A lot of other tools are more CLI-oriented. I have tried to compile an honest comparison here: https://github.com/chmouel/lazyworktree/blob/main/COMPARAISO... Some of the code and documentation was written with an LLM if…

    Git-workty – I got tired of Git stash and built a worktree wrapper▲7

    I context-switch a lot. Someone pings me about a bug while I'm mid-feature, and I either: 1. `git stash` (and forget what's in there forever) 2. Make a "WIP: stuff" commit (clutters history) 3. Ignore them until I'm done (not great) Worktrees solve this perfectly – each task gets its own directory, fully isolated. But the commands are clunky and I kept forgetting the syntax. So I built a small CLI wrapper. Now my workflow is: ``` wnew feat/login # creates worktree + cd into it # ...do work... wcd # fuzzy-pick another worktree, cd there wgo main # jump straight to main ``` Dashboard…
