Canopy

The cockpit for parallel Claude Code sessions — a native macOS app.

*Claude Code can make the worktrees. Canopy shows you which ones are about to collide, and merges them back.*

Why I built this

I've been using Canopy every day for months on my own projects. I'm sharing it now because it has earned its place on my dock, and I think it might earn a place on yours too.

Here's the honest pitch: Claude Code is a superpower. Canopy feels like wearing all five Infinity Stones.

When you use Claude Code seriously — not just for experiments, but for real production work — you hit a wall the tool wasn't designed to push through. Claude is brilliant at focusing on *one* thing in *one* directory. But real engineering work doesn't come one thing at a time. A bug report lands while you're refactoring. A teammate asks you to review a change while you're writing tests. The roadmap demands you keep shipping while you investigate a flaky test. You need to work on three things at once, but Claude — and git — want you to work on one.

You *can* hack around it: stash, checkout, maybe a second clone, maybe git worktree add and a hand-written shell script to copy your .env, maybe remember which of your six Terminal.app tabs was running which session. You end up with a tab graveyard, stale worktrees littering your disk, Claude sessions you can't find, and a quiet tax on every task you do.

Canopy removes that tax. Completely.

And to be straight with you about what changed: Claude Code now creates worktrees on its own — claude -w, /fork, subagents that isolate…
