Claude Code,
organized by task.

ccsm is a desktop GUI for Claude Code. Group parallel agent sessions across multiple repositories the way you actually work — by task, not by folder.

// why ccsm

Three things the CLI doesn't give you.

01 / groups

Group sessions by task, not by repo.

Real engineering work spans multiple repos — your workspace should too. A group is a task; sessions inside it can live in any directory. No more browser-tab juggling between five terminal windows.

02 / sdk-native

Built on the Claude Agent SDK.

Same engine as the official CLI, packaged for daily-driver use. Your claude install, your credentials, your existing ~/.claude sessions — ccsm reads them in place, doesn't fork them.

03 / blocks

Tools as first-class blocks.

Permission prompts, plans, tool calls, edit diffs, terminal output — each renders as its own structured block. Not buried in a chat bubble, not stripped of ANSI color, not collapsed to a one-line summary you can't read.

// features

What's in the box.

Sidebar with multiple groups, each containing sessions across different repositories
session groups

A sidebar that thinks like you.

Drag sessions between groups. Collapse the ones you're not on. A breathing amber dot tells you which background agent needs your input — no manual "status" field to maintain.

permission system

Allow / Allow always / Reject — inline.

Tool permission requests render where they happen, with the actual input visible as structured data. One click to approve, one to remember the decision for the rest of the session.

Bash output, edit diffs, and plan blocks rendered as collapsible structured blocks
tool block rendering

Bash, Edit, Plan — each a block you can read.

Terminal output preserves ANSI color. Edits show as diffs. Plans render as checklists. Long tool calls collapse, but never truncate — the full output is one click away.

bring your sessions

Imports your existing Claude Code sessions.

ccsm reads conversation history directly from ~/.claude/projects/. Nothing is duplicated, nothing is migrated. Open ccsm, see the work you already did.

// get started

Three steps. Two minutes.

  1. step 1

    Download the installer.

    Grab the latest .exe from Releases. Windows 10 or later.

  2. step 2

    Run it.

    Standard installer. No admin needed. Roughly 200 MB on disk.

  3. step 3

    Launch.

    First-launch wizard auto-detects your claude binary. Don't have one yet? Install Claude Code first — npm i -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code.

$ npm i -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code
$ claude # once, to log in
$ open ccsm

ccsm makes zero direct calls to Anthropic. All API traffic flows through your local claude binary, with your existing credentials. macOS and Linux builds are coming.
