"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.

Yeah, this is a weird angle to go down when you're trying to compete against... the most popular product.

The tagline might feel off if you're already comfortable with CLI. Though there's definitely an audience for this — my co-founder posted about struggling with CLI and it got 240k views with 400+ replies of people feeling the same: https://x.com/serafimcloud/status/2002304990053085542

Even as a technical person, I remember my transition from Cursor to Claude Code CLI being rough. Maybe 1Code could be a way to get the best of both worlds, power of claude code and UX of Cursor

I’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.

Thanks! for us monetization is more about signal - people who spend $20 are the ones who really want this to work, and we want to build for them. We have a private Discord with our Pro users where we discuss what to build next, share feedback and tips and tricks.

What's the story on local-only operation with a paid subscription? If it works like it seems to from the screen shots and video, I'm more than happy to pay for this even while using the OSS version (and I probably am going to modify it myself quite a bit for my own use-cases), but in my work environment:

1. Absolutely nothing can be sent off-site

2. All AI API requests must go through our custom gateway (we've got deals with all the major AI providers, and I think that even involves a degree of isolated hosting in specific approved cloud environments)

While $20/mo feels a bit weird for an app that doesn't rely on its own cloud service, I'd subscribe right now just because I do "really want this to work".

I feel like you're trying to straddle two worlds, like Jean-Claude van Damme. Easier to pick a lane! Good luck.

>Do I need a Claude subscription? >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…

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.

Can you expand on this further? You’re using a sandbox to “spoof” authentication by intercepting the auth token to a web browser? You use the agent-sdk which is fine but youre supposed to ONLY use that via api I thought?

fyi: it does not build for me from the source code.

The pricing is ridiculous. It doesn't include the Claude subscription so $20/m is way out of league for a UI.

And a "max" subscription for $200/m??? It makes no sense. It's not because LLM making companies have plans at $200 that any company should make a $200/m plan.

I hate to be that guy, but if anyone got excited about an interface where they could work with Claude, I'd say stick with the cli.

If you really want a 'different' UI thats unlike VSCode or Cursor already, I'd genuinely recommend checking out almost any other tool that pairs with CC.
