It's also tough with the new pace of AI-driven development to really get into the flow state, and maintain (still needed!) focus on 1 thing.
So I built a tool that I actually want to use every day.
Curious if others would find this useful, too, or have any feedback? Like if it's nearly there, what changes would make this a win for your workflow?
Details:
- It's a Mac app (Apple Silicon) that runs your Claude Code sessions side by side. Each piece of work gets a "context" with its own session, next steps, status, PRs, and links.
- The dashboard groups contexts by whose move it is: yours, waiting on a reviewer or teammate, Claude working, or idle. You get a notification when a session needs you or a PR gets review comments.
- For non-engineers, there's a Chat view instead of the terminal, a guided Claude Code install, and folder pickers instead of paths. Engineers can stay in the real Claude Code terminal.
- It runs the actual claude CLI, and sessions keep running if you quit Perch. You can also import your existing Claude Code sessions.
- Everything stays on your Mac. There's no account and no analytics, and crash reports are opt-in.
