Switchboard

A fast app for macOS and Windows that runs and keeps track of your Claude Code sessions.

For Macs with Apple Silicon and for Windows 10 and 11. Needs Claude Code, signed in.

Switchboard with a finished session open: the session list on the left with sessions that need you and are working, the conversation in the middle and its git changes on the right

Switchboard puts all your Claude Code sessions in one window: the ones you start in the app, and the ones running in your terminal. It uses the Claude Code you already have, with your login, settings, commands and skills. Nothing extra to sign in to.

Watch the one-minute tour

Every session, at a glance

One list of all your sessions, across every project and every Claude account. Sessions that Needs you sit at the top, then the ones that are Working, then the rest by day.

You get a notification when a session needs you or finishes, so you can leave it running in the background.

The sidebar: one session that needs you, one that is working, the queue, a pinned session and today's sessions

The command palette

Press Command, KControl, K for the commands that fit where you are, or Command, PControl, P to jump to any session or project by typing a few letters.

Start a session without leaving the keyboard: pick a project, write the prompt, press Command, ReturnControl, Enter.

The command palette on New session: recent projects with their branch and status, and a shortcut for each

A queue, and nothing you typed gets lost

Write the next prompt now and Add to queue. Each item says when it is ready, and you start it with one click. Nothing starts by itself.

Messages you don’t send are kept, also after you quit. A pen in the sidebar shows where they are.

Home with the queue: one prompt ready to start, one waiting for its project to be free, and an unsent message

A focus limit

Choose how many sessions you want going at the same time. Switchboard shows how many are on your mind, and asks before you start one more.

Projects, worktrees and branches

Each project has its own page with its sessions, worktrees, branches and actions. Start a session in a new worktree, then clean up the ones that are done after one confirmation.

Switchboard never removes a worktree with uncommitted changes or a session working in it.

What Claude remembers, in plain Markdown

See and edit what Claude Code remembers about each project, and what loads at the start of every session. Share a memory with the team in CLAUDE.md, or bring your memory over from the Claude app.

Everything stays plain Markdown where Claude Code already looks, so it works the same in the terminal.

A project's Memory tab: what loads in a session at the top, the project's memories with their type, the instructions the team shares, and personal memory

Terminal and changes, next to the conversation

See what Claude changed in the Changes panel (Command, Shift, DControl, Shift, D): stage, unstage or revert files, and open any diff inline. A terminal per session is one key away (Command, JControl, J).

The git button offers the next step: pull, commit, push or create a pull request.

Permissions in the conversation

Allow or deny what Claude asks, answer its questions and review its plans, right where the work happens. Switch the permission mode with Shift, TabShift, Tab.

Themes

Demo Time, Catppuccin, Claude, Nord, Solarized and The unnamed are built in, in light and dark. Import your own theme as a small JSON file.

The VS Code companion

The Switchboard Companion extension sends what you are looking at in the editor to a session: the lines you selected, files, problems and terminal output. It also works in Cursor and Windsurf. Nothing goes to Claude until you press send.
