Download for macOS Claude Code site →

Overview

Claude Code is strongest when it can work while you keep moving. Zentty gives it a real shell, a stable pane, and visible attention state across worklanes so you know when to return.

How Zentty helps

Real shell panes

Run Claude Code in ordinary shell panes with your repo and environment intact.

One lane per task

Keep one worklane per feature, review, release, or investigation.

Visible state

See when Claude is running, idle, needs input, or needs approval.

Native nudges

Use native notifications instead of checking every pane manually.

Workflow

  1. Open a worklane for the task.
  2. Start `claude` in a pane.
  3. Switch to another lane and keep working.
  4. Return when Zentty shows that Claude needs attention.

Not a replacement

Zentty does not replace Claude Code

Claude Code remains the coding agent. Zentty is the native Mac terminal around it: real panes, worklanes, and attention state.

Common questions

Does Zentty replace Claude Code?

No. Zentty is the terminal around Claude Code. Claude remains the agent.

Does Claude Code need special setup in Zentty?

No special app-level setup. Launch it in a pane like any other CLI.
