Description
Hey HN, we've been using Claude Code daily for months, and built Scape to fix our biggest pain point: managing multiple worktrees quickly & reducing the mental load of switching between them quickly.What we built: Scape is a macOS menu bar app that sits on top of Claude Code and gives you:- One-click worktrees: click a button, get a new git worktree with a Claude session already working on it. Develop in parallel without leaving your current branch. - Toolkit: per-session actions like "Create PR", "Commit & Push", "Run & Fix Tests." Add your own with bash scripts or prompts. - Orchestrators: auto-answer questions, auto-approve tools, set custom instructions. Sessions run autonomously while you work on something else.It monitors all your Claude Code sessions across iTerm2 terminals, so you always know what's happening at a glance.Privacy: Everything is stored locally at ~/.claude/scape/. No code or terminal content leaves your machine.We'd love feedback, especially on what workflows you'd want to automate. We're planning to add A LOT more over the coming weeks, specifically around embedded terminals and more automation.macOS 14+ only for now (more terminal & agent model support coming).

Could you build this?
Partial A basic UI wrapper for running shell commands can be vibe-coded, but managing concurrent pseudo-terminals (PTYs), git worktree state synchronization, and process watchdogs in a native desktop app requires robust systems programming.
What it would actually take: Built as a macOS desktop app using Electron or Tauri with native Rust bindings for pseudo-terminal emulation (e.g., `portable-pty`) and `libgit2` for worktree isolation. The hard parts are handling asynchronous IPC, terminal ANSI escape sequences, crash recovery for child processes, and conflict resolution across concurrently modified worktrees.
