Multitui

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…

Multitui is a macOS app factory that generates individual terminal apps for TUI programs. Create dedicated native apps for htop, vim, btop, and any command-line tool.

Multitui Sandbox any TUI on macOS Sandbox claude code without changing your workflow Multitui wraps command line programs in highly-customizable macOS terminal apps with filesystem sandboxing and network filtering to protect your dev system from untrusted code. Multitui uses macOS's built-in sandbox-exec to protect your files, and filters outbound network traffic to keep your secrets from leaking. ✓ Default deny delete everywhere ✓ Default deny read and write in user folder: ~ ✓ Targeted allow read or write (only specific paths) ✓ Allow read and write in your project folder ✓ Log of deny actions to see what was blocked and add a rule to allow ✓ --dangerously-skip-permissions but protect…from multitui.com

    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…

    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. -…

  • Hello my name is Ben Ward for the past 3 years I have been remastering the financial game Wall Street Raider created by Michael Jenkins originally on DOS in 1986. It has been a rough journey but I finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. I just recently redid the website and thought maybe the full story of how this project came to be would interest you all. Thank you for reading.
