Frame

I built Frame to better manage the projects I develop with Claude Code, to bring a standard to my Claude Code projects, to improve project and task planning, and to reduce context and memory loss. In its current state, Frame works entirely locally. You don’t need to enter any API keys or anything like that. You can run Claude Code directly using the terminal inside Frame.Why am I not using existing IDEs? Simply because, for me, I no longer need them. What I need is an interface centered around the terminal, not a code editor. I initially built something that allowed me to place terminals in a grid layout, but then I decided to take it further. I realized I also needed to manage my projects and preserve context.I’m still at a very early stage, but even being able to build the initial pieces I had in mind within 5–6 days—using Claude Code itself—feels kind of crazy.What can you do with Frame?You can start a brand-new project or turn an existing one into a Frame project. For this, Frame creates a set of Markdown and JSON files with rules I defined. These files exist mainly to manage tasks and preserve context.You can manually add project-related tasks through the UI. I haven’t had the chance to test very complex or long-running scenarios yet, but from what I’ve seen, Claude Code often asks questions like: “Should I add this as a task to tasks.json?” or “Should we update project_notes.md after this project decision?” I recommend saying yes to these.I also created a JSON file that keeps track of the project structure, down to function-level details. This part is still very raw. In the future, I plan to experiment with different data structures to help AI understand the project more quickly and effectively.As mentioned, you can open your terminals in either a grid or tab view. I added options up to a 3×3 grid. Since the project is open source, you can modify it based on your own needs.I also added a panel where you can view and manage plugins.For code files or other files, I included a very simple editor. This part is intentionally minimal and quite basic for now.Based on my own testing, I haven’t encountered any major bugs, but there might be some. I apologize in advance if you run into any issues.My core goal is to establish a standard for AI-assisted projects and make them easier to manage. I’m very open to your ideas, support, and feedback.
