Open Owl

Open Owl 🦉

Stop editing JSON and MD files. Manage your Claude Code setup visually.

The Problem

Claude Code is powerful but configuration is painful:
- Hand-editing JSON for permissions rules? Error-prone.
- Managing MCP servers across projects? Copy-paste hell.
- Finding that one subagent you created? Good luck grep-ing through .claude/.
- You want to know any metrics about your Claude Code usage? You need to download yet another tool.

The Solution

Open Owl gives you a visual interface for everything Claude Code configuration:

No more terminal commands. No more JSON typos. Just point, click, done.
