Jean
Native desktop app for running Claude, Codex, Cursor and other coding CLIs across multiple projects, git worktrees and chat sessions.

Anyone running several AI coding CLIs at once ends up juggling terminals, branches and half-remembered context. Jean collapses that into one native desktop app holding projects, git worktrees, chat sessions and terminals in a single workflow, with every CLI installed and running on your own machine.
It is built with Tauri v2 on a Rust core, with a React 19 front end using Tailwind CSS v4, shadcn/ui, Zustand and TanStack Query, plus xterm.js for terminals. It drives Claude CLI, Codex CLI, Cursor CLI, OpenCode, PI, Command Code, Grok and Kimi Code.
The opinions show in what it automates.
- Worktree management: worktrees are created, archived, restored and deleted per project, with linked projects for cross-project context.
- Execution modes: Plan, Build and Yolo sessions carry their own model and effort settings, with plan approval flows.
- Magic commands: investigate issues and pull requests, generate commit messages, resolve merge conflicts and draft release notes.
- GitHub and Linear: issues, pull requests, security alerts and Dependabot findings land in a dashboard, and PRs check out as worktrees.
- Web access: an embedded HTTP and WebSocket server serves the same interface to a browser, with token auth on by default.
Builds come from GitHub Releases or a Homebrew cask, or from source with Node.js and Rust. macOS is tested, Linux is community tested and Windows is not fully tested. A headless jean-server binary runs on Linux amd64 and arm64 for people who would rather keep the workspace on a server and reach it over a private mesh VPN such as Tailscale.
