Conclave

A desktop home for your Claude Code sessions — many at once, each in its own git worktree.

---

Why

Running claude in a terminal is great for one session. It stops scaling the moment you want two — branches collide, prompts get lost between tabs, and there's no shared view of what each agent is up to.

Conclave gives every Claude its own workspace, its own transcript, and its own live status — all in one window. Spin up parallel sessions across projects, follow what every agent is doing, and stop juggling branches by hand.

What you get

• Parallel sessions, one window. Group by project, filter by running, needs attention, or idle. Jump between agents without losing your place.
• A worktree per session. New sessions run git worktree add for you, so branches never step on each other and you never have to stash again.
• Fusion projects. Bundle multiple repos behind one project and run a single session across all of them. Conclave adds a worktree on a shared branch in every member repo; the primary's worktree becomes the session's cwd, and the secondaries are handed to claude via --add-dir. Forks fan out the same way.
• Live status at a glance. Working, waiting, running a tool, idle, or errored — visible from the sidebar without opening the session.
• Transcript, Plan, Logs. Three views per session. The plan view turns Claude's TodoWrite into a real progress checklist; logs keep lifecycle events out of your transcript.
• Embedded terminal. Colors, paging, and most TUIs work out of the box.
• Pull request card. Once the branch is pushed, Conclave picks the linked PR up from gh and shows status, diff, and base alongside the session.
• Themed in from day one. Dark and light, five accents, tunable density and corner radius — not bolted on later.

Try it

You'll need:

• .NET 10 SDK
• macOS, Linux, or Windows
• claude CLI on PATH for real sessions
• git on PATH, and gh if you want PR cards

Run from source:

dotnet restore
dotnet run --project src/Conclave.App

Or build a native binary:

dotnet publish src/Conclave.App -c Release

On macOS, wrap the publish output in a proper .app bundle (so the icon shows up in Finder and the Dock):

scripts/build-mac-app.sh

Status

Active development. The shell, embedded terminal, and per-session plumbing are wired up; a few items in PHASE_4.md — transcript persistence across restarts, live diff stats, the cancel button, and the permission modal — are still in flight. Expect rough edges.
