A chat app for Claude Code
Paw gives every Claude Code agent its own chat, groups them by project, and puts files, terminals, a browser and a task list right beside them. It runs on your Mac or on your own server. Your phone gets the same app.
A live demo, not a video. Tap the buttons, step through it.
The tour
You stop juggling terminals. You talk to the agent and watch what it touches.
Chat
Every agent is a chat in a list, like the messenger on your phone. Projects are folders. Starred chats stay awake and sit on top. A ring on the avatar means working, a badge means it needs you.
Questions
When an agent needs a decision, the question lands in the chat as buttons. Tap one and it carries on. You get one notification when a task finishes and one when something needs you, on the Mac and as phone push.
A chat that is waiting on you gets a badge and a bold line in the list, so you see it without opening anything.
Team
Agents message each other and you see it: "from Builder". They share one task list, read each other's chats, notes and terminals, and send you files, pictures, HTML reports and diagrams.
The Desk
The Desk lays your projects out as cards on a table you arrange. Each card says who is working, who needs you, what is unread, how many tasks are open and how many terminals run. The one that needs you is the loudest, by weight and a badge, not by colour. Alt+M opens it from anywhere.
Drag a card. It snaps to the grid and never lands on another.
Workspace
Each project has its own workspace of tabs: files with diffs, real terminals, a real browser the agent can drive and you can watch or take over, notes with diagrams and history, tasks, media. No second app to keep in sync.
Tiling
Drag a tab, a chat, a History row or a file onto the workspace and it snaps to a half or a quarter, the way macOS tiles windows. Dividers drag. Pick a layout in one click.
Try it: grab a tab and drop it on the right half.
Review
Review shows an agent's branch as side-by-side or unified diffs with the changed words marked. Leave a comment and it goes to the agent. When you are happy, merge, with a check that the tree is clean.
Comment on a line, then try to merge.
History
History lists every Paw chat and every Claude Code conversation from the project folder, including the ones you ran in a terminal. Search them. Open one to read it. Continue an old one in Paw: it forks, so the original stays untouched.
Anywhere
The same UI runs on your phone as an installable web app, over Tailscale and nowhere else. Chats are cached and messages queue, so it opens offline. Put the whole thing on a server and your agents keep working while the laptop sleeps.
Loki
Loki is a ginger tabby and Paw's built-in help. Ask him how to split the screen or move a chat, and he answers from the real guide, short and a bit smug. He only knows how to use Paw, he says so when he doesn't know, and he can't change anything for you.
And more
Cmd+, opens them over everything. Default folder, sleep delay, text size, voice.
Inside a project they read and edit notes, read your terminals and read each other's chats.
A server lets in one Tailscale login you name, plus a token. Nothing is public.
One screen at a time on a phone, a project strip, the Desk, no sideways scrolling.
Guides
Answer your agents from the couch. Chats, push alerts and pictures, over Tailscale.
Long tasks survive a closed lid. Owner-only, with no public port.
One chat each, a shared task list, and a Desk that shows who needs you.
Paw is a private beta for Apple Silicon Macs. If you run Claude Code every day, you'll see the point in an hour.
