Why Code Bar

AI coding gets messy fast: too many terminal tabs, mixed branches, and no clear place to review what changed.

Code Bar gives each task its own session and git worktree so you can run parallel AI work without losing control.

- Run multiple Claude Code or Codex sessions in parallel
- Auto-isolate every session in its own git worktree
- Work with terminal, file explorer, editor, SCM, and diffs in one app
- Resume bound Claude Code / Codex sessions across restarts
- Get notifications and hook integration for supported runners

Best for

- Claude Code and Codex power users
- Full-stack developers working across multiple repos
- Developers who want safer parallel AI-assisted coding workflows
- Anyone who wants a desktop workflow around terminal-native AI tools

How it works

1. Add one or more workspaces.
2. Create a session and choose Claude Code or Codex.
3. Code Bar creates an isolated git worktree for that session when the repo supports it.
4. Launch the runner, watch terminal output, and review files and diffs without leaving the app.
