Claude Code Studio: Open-Source Desktop App for Managing Multiple Claude Coding Sessions
What Claude Code Studio Does
Claude Code Studio wraps the official Claude Code CLI to provide a better interface for managing multiple coding sessions. The developer built it to solve specific workflow problems: constantly juggling terminal tabs, losing track of which agent is doing what, having no good way to see all agents at a glance, needing to copy-paste the same instructions repeatedly, and sessions dying when closing a laptop.
Key Features
- Real multi-pane terminals: 1, 2, or 4 side-by-side terminals using actual xterm.js (not fake chat bubbles)
- Activity Map: Live overlay showing what every agent is thinking/doing
- Config Map: Visual view of your entire CLAUDE.md setup, MCP servers, hooks, and memory
- Task Chains: Auto-trigger Agent B when Agent A finishes
- Broadcast mode: Send one instruction to all agents at once
- Full SSH + tmux support: Sessions survive even if you disconnect (pairs with Claude Remote Controller)
- Workspace isolation: Per-workspace MCP/API settings
- Composer on the side: Rich input with prompt templates and Plan Mode for editing long prompts
Current Status and Availability
This is version 0.9.3 and described as "very much a work in progress." The developer notes that Windows is most tested, while Mac/Linux should work but are less battle-tested. The tool is fully open source under the MIT license, with PRs and issues welcome on GitHub.
The developer is seeking feedback on what's missing that would make the tool actually useful, anything confusing or clunky in the UI, and bugs (particularly on Mac/Linux).
Who It's For
Developers who use Claude Code CLI across multiple projects and need better session management.
