🎉 Pitwall v1.5.0 is out
⬇️ Download Pitwall-1.5.0.dmg · Release notes · Changelog
New: an opt-in Claude in Chrome setting (Settings → Browser). 1.4.0 added a glass look with a Glassiness slider, an optional full screen that puts the tabs around the camera notch, a sound when a session finishes, and popups that scroll instead of pushing the prompt off the window. 1.3.2 added an agents working badge and draggable tabs. 1.3.1 named chats after the first reply and added Pin to Top. 1.3.0 added /btw side questions that work while Claude is busy, a Tasks bar for its background commands, live ! shell output, a built-in file viewer, and replies you can select across paragraphs and copy. 1.2.2 added typing anywhere in a chat and highlighted prompt keywords.
The first builds are ad-hoc signed, not notarized, so macOS asks you to approve them once. See Install (it takes ten seconds).

What is Pitwall?
Pitwall is a free, open-source Claude Code GUI for Mac: a native desktop app (SwiftUI) that lets you run and supervise multiple Claude Code sessions in parallel, such as several AI coding agents working on different projects. Instead of juggling terminal tabs, you get one board that shows which sessions are working, which are waiting on you, and which are done, with tool-permission prompts you can answer in one click and a live view of every file Claude changes.
Why Pitwall?
Claude Code is brilliant in a terminal, until you have four sessions going, one is waiting for permission to run a command, another finished ten minutes ago, and you can't remember which tab is which.
Pitwall is the pit wall: the place the engineers watch every car at once. It drives your own claude CLI, so your login, settings, skills, plugins, MCP servers and session history all carry over. Nothing is re-implemented and nothing leaves your Mac.
Features
🏁 Pit Wall board
Every session as a card in Working, Needs you and Done today, with a live feed of the last steps, to-do progress, cost, and Allow / Always / Deny buttons right on the card.
🗂 Tabs, many sessions at once
Browser-style tabs: drag to reorder, switch with ⌃Tab. Closing a tab never stops a session; it keeps working in the background.
📂 Open only what you choose
Pitwall shows and loads just the project folders you open, as many as you like. Closing one only hides it; your history is never deleted.
🕘 Your real history
Reads Claude Code's own transcripts in ~/.claude: terminal sessions appear here and Pitwall sessions appear in your terminal. A session running in a terminal updates live.
✅ Native approvals
Tool permissions, Claude's multiple-choice questions and plan approval show up as proper cards, with "always allow" for the commands you trust.
🔍 Inspector
A live Changes diff (with revert), the Plan and to-dos, Context usage, and every Files touched, beside the conversation.
⌨️ Every command, native where it matters
/ opens a menu of every command, skill, plugin command and MCP prompt you have. @ mentions files, ! runs a shell command, and you can paste or drop images.
🔁 Switch anything, live
Model, effort and permission mode change mid-session. Fork a session, rename it, export it, or hand it to Terminal with ⇧⌘T.
While Claude works, ask a quick side question with /btw (answered on the side, without interrupting it), watch and stop its background commands in the Tasks bar (⌘B moves a running command to the background), and run ! shell commands with live output and a Stop button. Built-in viewer: click any file name in a reply to read it in Pitwall: Markdown rendered, code with line numbers, JSON pretty-printed, images, PDFs, and Office files, audio and video through Quick Look. ⇧⌘O views any file.
Plus: a 5-hour and 7-day usage meter, ⌘K search across every session and prompt, Settings (⌘,), a quit-confirmation if sessions are still working, folders opened from the Dock, VoiceOver labels and Reduce Motion support.
