Claude Code runs in the terminal. AgentsRoom wraps it in a native desktop GUI where every agent is a visual card with live output, role labels, and status indicators. You see everything at a glance instead of cycling through terminal tabs.
AgentsRoom is a macOS desktop app built with Electron and xterm.js. It gives Claude Code a graphical interface: agent cards in a grid, a project sidebar, drag-and-drop ordering, and real-time terminal streams. Also available on iOS and Android for remote monitoring.
Claude Code is a CLI tool. You interact with it through text commands in a terminal window. This works well for a single agent, but when you run 5 or 10 agents in parallel, the terminal-only approach breaks down. You lose track of which agent is doing what, which one finished, and which one hit an error.
A Claude Code GUI is a graphical layer on top of the CLI. It displays each agent as a visual card with its name, role, status, and a live terminal feed. Instead of remembering which terminal tab belongs to which agent, you see the full picture in one window. AgentsRoom is that GUI.
“The CLI is for typing. The GUI is for seeing. You need both when running multiple agents.”
The case for a visual interface
The difference becomes obvious once you run more than two agents at the same time.
Six features that make Claude Code visual, organized, and easier to manage at scale.
Each Claude Code agent appears as a card in a responsive grid. The card shows the agent name, assigned role, current status (active, idle, done, error), and a live preview of its terminal output.
Reorder agent cards by dragging them. Place your most important agents at the top. The layout persists across sessions so your workspace stays consistent.
Assign roles to each agent: Frontend, Backend, QA, DevOps, Architect, Security, and more. Roles appear as colored labels on each card, making it easy to scan agents by function.
Every agent card includes a live terminal stream powered by xterm.js. Watch code being written, tests being run, and commands being executed. Click any card to open a full terminal session.
Organize agents by project in a sidebar. Switch between projects without losing context. Each project keeps its own set of agents, roles, and configuration.
Monitor your agents from your phone with the iOS and Android apps. Connected via E2EE relay, you can check agent status and read terminal output from anywhere.
Four steps from download to a fully visual agent workspace.
Download the macOS desktop app. It is a native Electron application that runs locally on your machine. No account required, no cloud dependency.
Download .dmg > Drag to Applications > Launch
Point AgentsRoom at your project directory. The app creates a workspace where all agents for that project are grouped together in the sidebar.
Sidebar > Add Project > Select folder
Create new agents and assign each one a role. Each agent gets its own terminal process running Claude Code. Your CLAUDE.md instructions are passed to every agent automatically.
New Agent > Pick role (Frontend, Backend, QA...) > Start
The agent grid updates in real time. Green means active, blue means done, red means error. Click any card to see the full terminal. The GUI keeps you informed without requiring you to check each agent manually.
Grid view > Status colors > Click to expand > Intervene if needed
Built specifically to give Claude Code a graphical interface that developers actually want to use.
AgentsRoom runs as a native desktop app, not a web page. Each agent gets a real PTY process with full xterm.js terminal emulation. The GUI stays responsive even with 20 agents running.
Agent data syncs between desktop and mobile through an E2EE relay. Your code, prompts, and terminal output never reach our servers in readable form. Everything runs locally first.
Work on several codebases at once. Each project gets its own agent pool, sidebar entry, and configuration. Switch between projects in one click.
The full source code is available for inspection. No hidden telemetry, no vendor lock-in. Contribute features, report bugs, or fork the project for your team.
