"Claude Code, but usable" might not be the best tagline. I find Claude Code extremely usable. In fact, it's the simplest product that "just works" I've ever used.

#12The idea is nice, but the pricing is odd. 20$/month (the cost of Claude Pro) just for a web interface and a sandbox seems very expensive. I hope the business model works out for you, but I doubt the price is justified. Also a better link is: https://1code.dev/ The repo doesn't have screenshots, so you might loose traffic just because of that. Nevertheless, I'll try it out - looks nice!
On pricing: honestly, the paid tier is less about monetization right now and more about signal. People who pay are the ones who really want this to work, and we want to build for them first. It helps us focus.

#13>Yes, 1Code works with your Claude Pro or Max subscription. Sign in with your Anthropic account and use your existing subscription. We charge separately for the 1Code app.
Is this even after the recent events; Anthropic banning 3rd-party access to the Claude Pro/Max subscriptions and only allowing API access? Tool is nice but most certainly not* 800$ nice.
*Based on heavy Claude Max users here, the people that will be running 3-4 agents, saying API would've cost them $1k+.

#14I didn't quite understand what "Unlimited web & macOS apps access" means in the paid tier. Could you elaborate?
Beyond that, we're working on API & integrations - connecting Sentry so an agent can automatically open a PR to fix an issue, or triggering Claude Codes directly from @ mentioning in GitHub/Slack/Linear.

Some other tools (like OpenCode) made direct API calls while impersonating Claude Code - that approach got banned. We're not doing that.

1Code uses the official Claude Code SDK ( https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/agent-sdk/overview ) which wraps the Claude Code binary. This is the official way to build on top of Claude Code. Some other tools (like OpenCode) made direct API calls while impersonating Claude Code - that approach got banned. We're not doing that.

#19With Claude Code now available in the Claude desktop app, what are the key differentiators? I’m all for new, better tools and will probably test this out over the weekend to see if the interface is more usable than Claude’s. Just curious if there’s anything you’re particularly excited about compared to the official release.
So we decided to build a tool that WE would actually use, and once we succeeded with that, we open-sourced it. Since then we've received a lot of feedback on where to take this product - some use cases Anthropic will probably never do, like integrating Codex or adding other z.ai GLM subscription.
We're just trying to ship something we use ourselves, and maybe it could be useful to others, and see where it goes.

#20I’m happy to see another project monetizing built executables. I feel like it’s not a popular option to many, but to me I think it’s the best way to getting financial support from enterprises that would be more than happy to leech.
