The Challenge
Developers lose focus context-switching between Claude's web UI and their terminal workflow. After Claude starts work, you're blind to what failed. Explaining your project structure becomes a repetitive preamble.
The Approach
Build Claude Code into a native macOS terminal app instead of wrapping a web interface. Tool calls execute in real-time, so you can see what's happening. Conversations live as version-controlled files on your disk. Keyboard-first with zero mouse friction.
The Solution
Native SwiftUI app wrapping Claude Code CLI. Agent visualization shows tool calls inline as they execute. Persistent workspaces save sessions locally as searchable, git-friendly files. Command palette (⌘K) for everything. Calm Systems design. No chrome, just the work. TTS and markdown export built in.
The Outcome
Go get a coffee. Your features are building themselves. Parallel agent runs handle multiple jobs at once while you focus on what actually needs your attention. Persistent sessions mean you never re-explain your project structure. Skill system, focus dashboard, side quest, keyboard-first flow.
Used by creative developers, directors who code, and solo operators running too many projects at once. Currently waitlist. macOS 14+, existing Claude Code CLI.
What I Learned
Transparency beats polish. Observability into agent reasoning is the singular differentiator nobody else ships.
Restraint shipped the product. Cutting half the roadmap (theme customization, feature sprawl) was harder than building the surviving half.
