One little creature per Claude Code chat and subagent, wandering along the bottom of your screen. A glance tells you what your agents are up to.
Running five chats at once is easy. Knowing which one is waiting on you still means alt-tabbing to find out.
A subagent always gets the same species, so you learn to read the row. Every chat hashes into one of the ten and keeps it for the session.
When a command needs permission, the creature raises the command and two buttons. Click Allow and the agent carries on. You never switch to the terminal to unblock it, which is the whole point when four sessions are running.
Click any critter and the terminal running that Claude Code chat comes to the front. Your whole session list becomes one click away, which is the fastest way to juggle parallel agents.
Thinking, running a tool, waiting on you, done. Read the room without alt-tabbing.
When a session is blocked, its creature hops up and flags you down.
Subagents huddle on a platform beneath the chat that spawned them.
Reads local status files only. Nothing about your work leaves the machine.
No account, no subscription. Pay once if you want the toys and the numbers.
Pay, and I send you a licence key tied to your Mac. Paste it once and Pro is on for good, verified on your own machine with nothing sent anywhere. If it is not for you, tell me and I refund it.
Unzip it, drag it in, click Connect. You'll meet your first creature inside a minute.
Free, forever. macOS 13 or newer, Apple Silicon and Intel.
One universal build. It sets up its own Claude Code hooks on first launch.
Crew is not notarised yet, so a browser download gets flagged and the first launch needs right-click → Open. curl does not quarantine what it fetches, so installing from the terminal avoids both.
curl -fsSL https://crew-deskmates.vercel.app/crew/get.sh | bash
get.sh is 33 lines. Read it first if you like.

Crew is free and stays free. If it made your day better, send whatever you like toward actual animals instead of to me.
