   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. -…

   Parallel Code▲159

   I kept running into a structural problem with AI coding tools. You try one agent. It makes changes. You try another. Now you're manually diffing branches and cleaning up experimental commits. The tools are powerful, but the workflow isn’t designed for comparison. So I built Parallel Code. It runs Claude Code, Codex, and Gemini CLI natively (no API wrapper, no feature abstraction), but isolates each agent in: its own terminal its own Git worktree its own feature branch The workflow becomes: Spawn N worktrees Assign one AI agent per worktree Let them implement independently Compare diffs Merge…

   runCLAUDErun▲112

   I built runCLAUDErun because I got tired of manually running the same Claude Code tasks every day. It's free and it runs locally. What it does: It's a macOS app that schedules your local Claude Code to run on any schedule you want - daily, weekly, or custom cron expressions. My use case: Every night at 11pm, it automatically summarizes my Obsidian daily notes. But, it can schedule any Claude task - code reviews, data processing, report generation, web research, file organization, etc... Technical details: - Native macOS app (Electron + React) - Uses launchd for scheduling (proper macOS…

   Continuous Claude – run Claude Code in a loopfree▲170

   Continuous Claude is a CLI wrapper I made that runs Claude Code in an iterative loop with persistent context, automatically driving a PR-based workflow. Each iteration creates a branch, applies a focused code change, generates a commit, opens a PR via GitHub's CLI, waits for required checks and reviews, merges if green, and records state into a shared notes file. This avoids the typical stateless one-shot pattern of current coding agents and enables multi-step changes without losing intermediate reasoning, test failures, or partial progress. The tool is useful for tasks that require many…

   Claudebin▲258

   Hi HN, We use Claude Code a lot, and after a long session there isn't a simple way to share exactly what happened with someone else. Prompts, responses, file edits, and tool calls all stay inside the terminal. We built Claudebin to make that easier. It's a plugin that lets you export the current session as a URL containing: - the full message thread - file reads and writes - bash commands - web and MCP calls You can send the link to someone, attach it to a PR, embed part of it, or resume the session locally. It's open source. GitHub:…

    A local merge queue for parallel Claude Code agents▲42

    I have been pushing up to 90 commits a day on a MacBook Air via 4-5 parallel agents. As you can imagine when all the agents try to build, test and run dev servers on an 8GB machine it is the fast lane to a force quit and restart. I also did not want to pay the CI minutes on 90 pushes a day. So I designed a local merge queue to have all commits land one at a time and fully tested. Hopefully this helps other folks with more modest machines. Appreciate any feedback.

    Multitui▲126

    I made Multitui to control the sandbox of coding agents easily without changing my dev environment (no special container or VM). There's no configuration required in your local dev environment... just launch ClaudeCode.app instead of claude in your general terminal. Containers and VMs can be useful, but I always have a bunch of projects going and those solutions feel heavy. Multitui creates single-purpose native macOS apps for any terminal app, with optional sandbox. It uses the built-in macOS sandbox-exec along with log monitoring to give you an easy UI to manage rules, see what's being…

    DevSwarm 2.0, fix parallel Claude Code sprawl▲7

    Mike, cofounder of DevSwarm here. I’ve been using Claude Code heavily for the last few months (multiple Max plans). Running sessions in parallel across git branches or worktrees is fast, but it breaks down quickly in practice because of sprawl. Terminals everywhere, editor windows everywhere, and you lose track of basics like which agent is on which branch and what is ready for review. DevSwarm is what we built to solve that. The core abstraction is simple: workspace equals branch. Each workspace runs its agent session(s) and keeps the state visible. In 2.0 we added a full VS Code IDE…

    Ccmux – Reduce context switching for parallel Claude Code sessions▲10

    I’ve been running parallel Claude Code instances while working on different tasks. Two problems kept slowing me down: 1. I was constantly jumping between terminals to see which session needed input. 2. Using git worktrees added setup friction (installing deps, bootstrapping environments, etc.), which discouraged parallel work. So I built ccmux. It’s a thin layer on top of tmux that: - Adds a glanceable sidebar UI showing all Claude Code sessions - Surfaces attention-needed states with visible alerts - Wraps git worktrees with a lightweight workflow abstraction so spinning up parallel tasks…

    Ccgs – Collaborative Claude Code sessions, stored in Git branches▲6

    My team uses Claude Code daily, and the sessions have become some of the most useful artifacts we produce. But they're trapped in ~/.claude/projects/ on whichever laptop they happened on. There's no good way to hand a colleague "the session where I untangled the migration" so they can claude --resume it and keep going from where I left off. Enter ccgs: Share Claude Code sessions through an orphan branch (@ccgs/) in your existing repo's remote - Session files carry the author's absolute paths. On pull, ccgs rewrites the working dir back to your path so resume actually…

    ccrider - Search and Resume Your Claude Code Sessions – TUI / MCP / CLI▲19

    I built a tool that stores your full Claude Code history to let you easily find and resume sessions. It has TUI, CLI and MCP interfaces. It's a single Go binary, and the session history is synced to SQLite each time you use it. Default mode is the TUI with a session browser and full-text search. Once a session is selected you can browse and search within it, resume it or export to markdown. The MCP server provides tools to let Claude search back through the session for pre-compact context or pull from prior sessions. I use this constantly. I've seen elaborate continuity systems to give…
