claui
A native macOS shell for Claude Code.
The real claude CLI, wrapped in a proper Mac app — tabs, projects, a live status bar, and a nudge when Claude needs you.

It’s just claude — at home on the Mac.
claui never touches the Anthropic API and never sees your credentials. It runs the real CLI you already use, and gives it a window worthy of it.
Every repo, side by side.
Keep your projects open in one window and switch between them instantly with ⌘⌥1–9 — each keeps its own tabs, sessions, and history. claui restores them on next launch.
As many tabs as you need.
Inside a project, open any number of tabs — Claude sessions or plain shells, side by side. ⌘T for Claude, ⌘⇧T for a shell, ⌘1–9 to switch.
Know the moment Claude needs you.
claui watches every tab and marks it with a calm strip — done, waiting on you, or errored. Step away while the window isn’t focused and a native notification brings you back — click it to land on the exact tab.
Pick up any conversation.
Every past session is one click away in the sidebar — resume exactly where you left off. Plugins, skills, and more of Claude Code are coming to the same place.
…and the comforts you’d expect.
Live status bar
Model, context, cost, and your 5-hour and 7-day limits — always in view, straight from Claude Code.
Drag & drop
Drop a file or image onto the window; its path lands in the active terminal, safely quoted.
Native menus & shortcuts
A real macOS menu bar and the keys you’d reach for — ⌘T, ⌘W, ⌘⇧N.
Auto-updates
claui keeps itself current — new versions arrive with a quiet toast, never a download hunt.
