CodeGrid

The terminal workspace for AI coding agents.

Run dozens of Claude Code sessions across all your projects — organized on a free-form 2D canvas you can drag, resize, and broadcast to.

The Problem

If you're running Claude Code seriously, you're juggling multiple repos at once. Terminal tabs and tmux panes don't scale — you lose track of which agent is waiting, which one errored, and which one needs your input.

The Solution

CodeGrid gives every session its own pane on a single infinite 2D canvas. See everything at once. Type once and broadcast to all of them. Never miss a prompt again.

~10 MB. Built with Tauri — launches in under a second. Not Electron.

Features

🗂 2D Canvas Layout

Arrange terminal panes freely — drag to reposition, resize from any edge, zoom in and out, pan around. Canvas has momentum physics so it feels smooth and natural. Not tabs. Not splits. An actual canvas.

📡 Broadcast Mode

Cmd+B — type once, send to every terminal simultaneously. Run the same Claude command across all your projects in one keystroke.

👁 Activity Detection

Status indicators on every pane (running / waiting / idle / error), visible even when zoomed out. You know what every agent is doing at a glance.

💾 Session Persistence

Close the app, reopen it — sessions come back exactly where you left them. Same directories, same layout, same names.

🌿 Full Git Manager

Stage, commit, push, pull, branch, stash, and view diffs — all from the sidebar. No context switching.

🗃 File Explorer

Browse files with git status indicators. Create, rename, move, delete, drag-and-drop. Right-click context menu.

✏️ Code Editor

Click any file to open it in the built-in editor with syntax highlighting. Always editable.

🕸 Dependency Graph

Interactive force-directed graph showing how your files connect. Supports TypeScript, JavaScript, Python, and Rust.

⌨️ Command Palette

Cmd+K — switch workspaces, open folders, focus sessions, run git commands. Everything in one search box.

🗄 Multiple Workspaces

Separate workspaces per project. Each has its own layout, sessions, and git context. Auto-named after the folder.

🔌 MCP Server Manager

Add, toggle, and configure Claude MCP servers from the sidebar. No config files to edit manually.

🔗 External Control API

Control CodeGrid from scripts, Alfred workflows, or IDE extensions via a local Unix socket.
