Hi, we're Sergey and Serafim. We've been building dev tools at 21st.dev and recently open-sourced 1Code (https://1code.dev), a local UI for Claude Code.Here's a video of the product: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sgk9Z-nAjC0Claude Code has been our go-to for 4 months. When Opus 4.5 dropped, parallel agents stopped needing so much babysitting. We started trusting it with more: building features end to end, adding tests, refactors. Stuff you'd normally hand off to a developer. We started running 3-4 at once. Then the CLI became annoying: too many terminals, hard to track what's where, diffs scattered everywhere.So we built 1Code.dev, an app to run your Claude Code agents in parallel that works on Mac and Web. On Mac: run locally, with or without worktrees. On Web: run in remote sandboxes with live previews of your app, mobile included, so you can check on agents from anywhere. Running multiple Claude Codes in parallel dramatically sped up how we build features.What’s next: Bug bot for identifying issues based on your changes; QA Agent, that checks that new features don't break anything; Adding OpenCode, Codex, other models and coding agents. API for starting Claude Codes in remote sandboxes.Try it out! We're open-source, so you can just bun build it. If you want something hosted, Pro ($20/mo) gives you web with live browser previews hosted on remote sandboxes. We’re also working on API access for running Claude Code sessions programmatically.We'd love to hear your feedback!

Could you build this?
Yes 1Code is a desktop/web GUI wrapper around the Claude Code CLI tool, managing terminal sub-processes, chat history, and diff visualization, which is well-suited for vibe coding with Electron/Tauri and React.
