Claude Code CLI has an agents view that lets you manage multiple sessions in parallel. I literally only ever start claude with `claude agents` these days, and use left arrow to go back to that view from any single session.

Yeah, I have used that and it's pretty good. For me, keeping up with multiple Claude Code agents got pretty annoying (hard to see which need your attention etc) so I felt like I needed a lightweight UI. I get that that isn't for everyone though.

Personally, I also like to use terminal development. Previously, I used tmux to manage opencode sessions, but now I also use claude on a daily basis. I tried it, but later I felt that the trouble did not continue. At present, you can use it directly for me, which is quite awesome. I like it. It has been downloaded and I will try it.

Great, thanks. Let me know if you have any questions, issues or suggestions.

I just turned on the crash feature here, is it because I don't have a Claude subscription? Can this be solved at present?
johntash 5 days ago [-]
This mentioned using the claude binary, is it using 'claude -p'? And are you worried about the subscription/billing changes that were supposed to take effect this month? I have a similar ui I made for myself that I'm wondering if it will just become useless eventually.
cwbuilds 5 days ago [-]
Anthropic have delayed the changes for now, but yes, this could be a problem.
If there’s no sensible solution, I’ll personally move to another coding agent (and will add that compatibility to Abralo).

or use herdr, or the many other options that don't force you to use Claude code.
cwbuilds 5 days ago [-]
Yeah, herdr is great too. Will be adding other agents to this soon. Just started with Claude Code mainly because it's the one I use atm!

I like the look! But $19/month is steep for remote connections when I can just use Claude Code I'm already paying too much for. Nice idea though.

Thanks. Email me and we may be able to work something out - chris@abralo.com

Very cool! You mention VS Code crashing with a few agents. Have you measured how much lighter Abralo is in terms of memory and CPU compared to the equivalent setup in VS Code?
cwbuilds 5 days ago [-]
Honestly, no. I don't have a number, but:
VS Code with the extension uses Electron (heavy, because it bundles its own Chromium), extension host, and language servers which is what causes it to crash when you run multiple agents.
Abralo has a Rust backend (0% CPU) and has one shared webview (your native one).
But it's worth saying that the agents themselves use a huge amount of memory however you run them. That's why it's important not to layer additional overhead on top of each.

I came in skeptical, but actually kinda like he look of this. I'm gonna take this for a ride this week and see what I learn.
cwbuilds 5 days ago [-]
Thanks. Yeah - honestly, I'd be sceptical too. Too many bad dev tools around atm.
Let me know how the weekend goes.

I just tried it, and it seems useful. Any plans to support other coding agents, e.g., Antigravity?
cwbuilds 6 days ago [-]
Yes, that's very possible. Can let you know when it's added here.

4 agent limit is a no for me. Also really enjoying herdr right now.
cwbuilds 5 days ago [-]
Email me and I may be able to increase the limit for you if you're willing to share some feedback? chris@abralo.com

Am removing this cap today in case of interest.
ignorantguy 5 days ago [-]
for me its not updating while the session is progressing. it is getting stuck and i have to quit and restart it to see the updates.
cwbuilds 5 days ago [-]
Is there any chance you could email me (chris@abralo.com) with your OS and a little explanation of the bug (ideally with a screenshot)? Struggling to recreate it. Would be very grateful.

我这边刚刚打开闪退，是因为我没有claude的订阅吗？目前这个是否可以解决呢？

Has it Git worktree support?
cwbuilds 5 days ago [-]
No, but I can look at adding this today. I'll comment on here again when added.

Looks useful, but is it open source? Would want to verify the "can't see your code/prompts" claim before pointing it at real client work — a repo link would help a lot!
cwbuilds 4 days ago [-]
Yeah, that's valid. It's not open source yet, but watch this space.
I can't even see people's email addresses when they sign up (as they just sign into their Claude Code account), but I get that you'd have to just take that on faith for now.
As it's a desktop app, someone can just point a proxy at it and watch exactly what it sends. You'll see that nothing like your conversations with Claude or even your login ever leave the app.
