| ▲ | Show HN: Abralo – Free, easy way to run several Claude Code agents in one window(abralo.com) | |||||||||||||

Hi guys, I've been using Claude Code for almost everything lately. Have given one an email account so it can research business leads, draft emails, fact-check them and clear them with me before sending (works really well by the way). I also tend to have a few Claude Code agents running at any one time for coding. I used to create a split terminal to manage them from there, but found working in the terminal all day pretty depressing and, more importantly, found it hard to follow Claude Code's process and see which agents needed my immediate attention. I tried Anthropic's VS Code Claude Code extension and it had a great UI (more info on Claude Code's process and easier to read), but it crashed my PC when I ran more than 3 and I couldn't watch multiple agents in parallel (had to constantly switch between them). So I built a lightweight Tauri desktop app which lets you run multiple Claude Code agents in one window alongside each other. It's easier to read the output and see which agents need your attention than a terminal. Have been using this all day everyday instead of an IDE and have obsessed over every detail to make sure it's easy-to-use, but also lightweight and fast (so you can manage multiple agents without your PC crashing). There are some nice features like better usage alerts for when you're going to hit your 5-hour and weekly limits (with sparklines to show when usage peaked, and which agents are the most token-intensive). It's free to use (you just need to log in with your existing Claude Code account) for up to 4 agents simultaneously. This app doesn't store your Claude Code account details and doesn't store any of your interactions with Claude Code. They remain between you and Anthropic. It's compatible with Windows, MacOS and 64-bit Linux. Would really appreciate any feedback, so if you have any thoughts, issues or suggestions please let me know. Thanks, Chris | ||||||||||||||

Claude Code CLI has an agents view that lets you manage multiple sessions in parallel. I literally only ever start claude with `claude agents` these days, and use left arrow to go back to that view from any single session. | ||||||||||||||

Personally, I also like to use terminal development. Previously, I used tmux to manage opencode sessions, but now I also use claude on a daily basis. I tried it, but later I felt that the trouble did not continue. At present, you can use it directly for me, which is quite awesome. I like it. It has been downloaded and I will try it. | ||||||||||||||

This mentioned using the claude binary, is it using 'claude -p'? And are you worried about the subscription/billing changes that were supposed to take effect this month? I have a similar ui I made for myself that I'm wondering if it will just become useless eventually. | ||||||||||||||

or use herdr, or the many other options that don't force you to use Claude code. | ||||||||||||||

I like the look! But $19/month is steep for remote connections when I can just use Claude Code I'm already paying too much for. Nice idea though. | ||||||||||||||

Seems like certain people act like octopuses with eight arms. | ||||||||||||||

Very cool! You mention VS Code crashing with a few agents. Have you measured how much lighter Abralo is in terms of memory and CPU compared to the equivalent setup in VS Code? | ||||||||||||||

I came in skeptical, but actually kinda like he look of this. I'm gonna take this for a ride this week and see what I learn. | ||||||||||||||

I just tried it, and it seems useful. Any plans to support other coding agents, e.g., Antigravity? | ||||||||||||||

4 agent limit is a no for me. Also really enjoying herdr right now. | ||||||||||||||

我这边刚刚打开闪退,是因为我没有claude的订阅吗?目前这个是否可以解决呢? | ||||||||||||||

Looks useful, but is it open source? Would want to verify the "can't see your code/prompts" claim before pointing it at real client work — a repo link would help a lot! | ||||||||||||||
