Canopy: Terminal Dashboard for Managing Multiple Claude Code Agents

Canopy is an open source terminal UI tool built to manage multiple AI coding agents running in parallel across git worktrees. The developer created it to solve the problem of tracking multiple Claude Code instances working on different features or bug fixes simultaneously.

Problem and Solution

The developer, a software engineer who uses Claude Code heavily in daily workflow, was running 3-5 agents across git worktrees. The challenge was keeping track of which agent finished, which was stuck needing input, and which errored. They found themselves constantly switching terminal panes and losing context, with one instance waiting 10 minutes for approval while they were reading another agent's output.

Key Features

• Single dashboard view of all worktrees and agents running in them
• At-a-glance agent state visibility: running, idle, waiting for input, done, or errored
• Jump into any session directly from the dashboard
• Send input to agents without fully switching to their session
• Manage worktrees from inside the tool

Technical Details

• Works with Claude Code, Codex, Aider, or any interactive CLI tool
• Built in Go using Bubble Tea for the terminal UI
• Uses tmux under the hood so each agent gets a proper interactive terminal session
• Open source with MIT license
