Howdy HN, we built Claudette as an open-source desktop companion for Claude Code.

Run multiple Claude Code agents in parallel, each in its own git worktree, each with its own session and terminal. Claudette also supprots remote sessions run on another machine over an encrypted WebSocket connection. Full editor support means you can stay in one app for chat, diffs, terminal, and editor.

So why did we build Claudette? We liked Conductor and similar tools but didn't love that they weren't open source or required a login to use. So we set out to fill that gap, and address a few other things we wanted along the way.

We're continuing to add features with recent additions being Windows support, OpenPeon sound pack integration (300+ packs to pick from, Alan Rickman being my favorite), Monaco integrate for full editor support, and more.

We've got some really exciting features baking right now that should be dropping soon.

Feedback and thoughts welcome!

Hi folks, I'm one of the maintainers for this project as well. It's become my daily driver. Aside from allowing pushing a bunch of features, bugs and support cases in parallel, it's the most fun I've had building and using software in years.

This project is open source and contributions are welcome, but also any and all feedback. I think we've made something really powerful and really fun, excited to share it.

Also, I highly recommend the Alan Rickman soundpack.

This is a much better idea than what I've been doing with VS Code tabs and terminal windows. Excited to see how this app develops so I can start getting comfortable with multiple Claude sessions at the same time! Starting to feel like a real team of AI dev agents.
