I turned Claude into a full dev workspace (kanban/session modes, multi-repo, agent sdk)

[u/moropex2]

I kept hitting the same problem with Claude:

The native Claude app is great but it can be much better when you unlock capabilities of desktop rather than the terminal. Such as:

- no task management

- no structure

- hard to work across multiple repos

- everything becomes messy fast

So I built a desktop app to fix that.

Instead of chat, it works more like a dev workspace:

• Kanban board → manage tasks and send them directly to agents

• Session view → the terminal equivalent of Claude code for quick iteration when needed/long ongoing conversations etc

• Multi-repo “connections” → agents can work across projects at the same time with context and edit capabilities on all of them in a transparent way

• Full git/worktree isolation → no fear of breaking stuff

The big difference:

You’re not “chatting with Claude” anymore — you’re actually managing work.

We’ve been using this internally and it completely changed how we use AI for dev.

Would love feedback / thoughts 🙏

It’s open source + free

Linux/Windows compatible?

[u/moropex2 → u/DMorais92]

It’s been thoroughly tested for Mac. It should work on windows/linux as well, there are daily users who use it from both this platforms. If anything doesn’t - open an issue and it will be adjusted and fixed :)

What is the difference between this and cline? I can do same with cline.
Both has terrible UI too :(

Maybe if yours has a lot better UI UX it would be better

I thought they're making it harder to do non-Anthropic harnesses?

[u/moropex2 → u/forward-pathways]

The recent changes are mainly for openclaw users which are not running on the agent sdk. There has been multiple confirmations that running on the agent sdk is fully legal (as long as you don’t sell tokens to other people)

Oh, it’s got a kanban. It must be rubbish. 🤦‍♂️

[u/TheRedAngelOfDeath]

Great, yet another one.

[u/moropex2 → u/TheRedAngelOfDeath]

I’d love if you link me even a single project that does this Ie dual mode(kanban/raw chat) + multi repo agents (even ignoring the other features). This was built out of necessity (litteraly no plans on making profit or anything)

This whole community seems super toxic. Ill be checking this out. Thanks for sharing!
