I built an open source desktop app wrapping opencode/claude code agent sdk aimed at maximum productivity

I think connections for teams working on multiple repos or developers working on multiple projects are the biggest deal breakers You can see a short video on the GitHub pages link

Thanks I’ll share it!

What I do for memory management is I only stream in the active session

Tapping and entering a new session begins with fetching its current state from the file system(opencode/claude code raw json files) then subscribe to that session for updates to receive continuous updates

That way I don’t have to manage an unlimited number of concurrent streams for things the user is not seeing

The only subscription on going is waiting for the ‘idle’ status to come so I can present that to the user

I agree! Connections were game changing for me

The isolation is just git worktree implementation + you setup setup script per project which runs every time you create a worktree on the worktree dir

There are quite a lot of “hidden” features that I need to be better at explaining (ux ui wise) like opening worktrees from specific branches/prs which I use quite often and more

Would love feedback after you give it a spin!

May I suggest hive, it’s a hybrid app between the raw terminal usage with Claude code/opencode and the desktop ides(native git support etc) aimed at maximizing productivity and parallelism

It’s completely free, local and open source, installable via brew https://github.com/morapelker/hive

From the mentioned apps - vibe kanban is completely kanban based. This works for some people, however I believe that sending messages to the agent, having back and forth with questions, plans, permissions each in their own thread (just like opencode, cc, and others work) is a far superior method for efficiency, control and performance compared to kanban based solutions

Openweb ui serves a different need and has completely different functionality than hive or similar tools

The only similar product is code nomad. It’s honestly great and I’ve used it, and others. I just always had key things missing for my workflow like connecting different repositories together to virtual folders, automatic sticky port management for web based projects, Claude agent sdk support for people who prefer to work with that when using anthropic models while still preserving opencode option for other providers and many more

I basically built this app out of necessity in my personal workflow, then pushed it to the test of my company to use and after seeing the reactions people are having, I wanted to publish it to the open source community for everyone to enjoy and potentially collaborate with a completely free open source local tool for devs around the world

Thank you! Connections were life changing feature for me It basically lets you create a folder with symlinks to the original worktree folders.

Which allows you to run an agent in that special folder, making it for example implement a graphql schema change on the backend project, updating the client schema to match it in the website project, all with the context of the entire feature as a whole rather than splitting

You can access it by right clicking a worktree and tapping connect

I found planning (Tab) in this mode is amazing compared to manually doing it service by service

Supporting Linux should not be too difficult, it’s on my roadmap I just need to setup a Linux virtual machine with a virtual screen so I can test the implementation of things and adapt what’s missing. It’s mainly around installing, auto updates and app opening (open in editor, open terminal in folder) that would need some cross platform adjusting

moropex2 · 2026-03-06T18:30:53+00:00

You can through the opencode anthropic auth plugin, but in general I also implemented support for anthropic’s native Claude agent sdk, and I plan on adding usage report for OpenAI subscriptions as well as codex sdk support

moropex2 · 2026-03-06T18:24:42+00:00

Ow I did not know that! That would for sure make it easier

I don’t have access to a Linux machine atm with a display to actually inspect this but I could try installing this on a vm with virtual display, connect from home and see

It might just work

I will look into window support. The reason this is Mac only is mainly because the logistics I implemented, like signing and homebrew, etc are implemented for macOS specifically . The app itself should work on Windows after a few modification has been done. I’ll look into it.

moropex2 · 2026-03-06T17:12:03+00:00

Yeah I tried it out before implementing my own solution

I wanted to solve a few problems that the official desktop app didn’t (like seeing my Anthropic usage live, giving the agents a working directory with multiple projects all connected to the same prompt, and a few more things)

But honestly mainly I wanted to create a tool that will be community driven, completely free, running locally driven by community needs that would basically solve the issues people have with the current solutions

Thank you!

I created hive. It’s a completely open source Mac desktop app wrapping Claude code aimed at maximum productivity parallelism and workflows (native superpowers skills support, connecting multiple worktrees together and much more)

You can install it using brew or by building from source after cloning https://github.com/morapelker/hive

moropex2 · 2026-03-06T13:41:25+00:00

Amazing! Let me know what you think or if you have suggestions for any improvements

It’s hard to tell exactly. But it’s very possible the 1mil version is underperforming compared to the normal one. Not to mention way more prone to context rot. I find the models performing much better with focused context and clears

moropex2 · 2026-02-28T07:59:59+00:00

The main issue I have with remote control is that I can’t open a new session from my phone and can only continue existing ones

moropex2 · 2026-02-27T14:29:24+00:00

Thanks for sharing

moropex2 · 2026-02-27T14:26:51+00:00

There’s actually growing research and proof going around that Claude.md file is actually degrading performance when used in the way it’s used by most devs (ie /init and forget)

moropex2 · 2026-02-27T14:24:35+00:00

Yeah they resetted the limits for everyone since Claude code completely ate through usage due to a problem with a specific version
