Made this app for myself initially, decided to make it free for everyone. Do not use this for serious projects, keep it mostly for inconsequential hobby work. You will need to register an account with Anthropic and configure Claude Code on your machine, I am not affiliated with them in any way. I was tired of using SSH clients to check on Claude Code sessions, so I decided to make an app that interfaces a little more cleanly. It hooks onto pre-existing tmux sessions (or you can start a fresh one into any directory) and checks for an Claude Code session that was happening in that path, then it picks up from there. There might be bugs here and there, feel free to report them in the support page, I'll try and get around to them. Bear in mind, Claude Code sessions used from the app will always have what's equivalent to the `--dangerously-skip-permissions` flag, so keep regular backups alongside kind of git history going.
