Claude Session Manager – tile-based desktop manager for Claude Code
Claude Session Manager is a tile-based desktop application designed to manage multiple Claude Code sessions across projects, offering a centralized interface for launching, resuming, and monitoring sessions. It currently supports Windows with a native Python and Tkinter implementation, while a Mac version is planned but not yet in development. The app features a 20-language UI, live activity indicators, and per-project preferences, with shared translations and documentation across platforms.
- ▪Claude Session Manager provides a unified interface for managing multiple Claude Code sessions using color-coded tiles for each project.
- ▪The Windows app is built with Python and Tkinter, while the Mac version will use Swift/SwiftUI; both share translation resources but have independent codebases.
- ▪A key technical feature is the two-pass algorithm that correctly assigns JSONL transcript files to processes, ensuring accurate context tracking and activity indicators per session.
- ▪Shared elements include translations from a single source of truth, project documentation, and a unified GitHub issue tracker with platform-specific labels.
- ▪Platform-specific differences include UI layout, backend logic for process handling, and window detection, reflecting native design idioms for each operating system.

Claude Session Manager One place to focus, launch, resume, and orchestrate every running Claude Code session across all your projects — with a 20-language UI that switches in place. Screenshots: Windows app (windows/). The Mac app under mac/ is planned but not yet started. This repository hosts platform-specific implementations of Claude Session Manager. The desktop form factor differs enough between operating systems that each gets a native implementation rather than a shared cross-platform port — but they all share the same single source of truth for translations.
