Deck View: the workspace we built around Claude Code

Our native macOS app for running many coding agents at once: Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Aider, Copilot and Windsurf side by side in one multi-pane deck, with sessions that survive closing the app.
This one is ours. Deck View, at claudedeck.ai, is a native macOS workspace for developers who live in Claude Code. It is not a terminal replacement: it is a deck for running many coding agents at once, each in its own live tile, without the alt-tabbing.
One deck, many agents
Six agents are supported side by side: Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Aider, Copilot and Windsurf, each detected automatically per project and running concurrently in real PTY terminals. Despite the domain name, Deck View is agent-agnostic: it drives whatever CLI agent you already use.
What makes it ours
Multi-sheet tabbed layouts, with grids from 3x3 down to a single tile, plus saved decks and templates you can import and export
Sessions survive closing the app: a background daemon keeps work running and the app reattaches when you reopen
Fleet Control: batch operations across every tile, a global task pool, and auto-dispatch of tasks to idle tiles
Auto Yes answers permission prompts with TUI prompt detection, and a per-project command queue with auto-play works through your list
Project discovery scans your machine for CLAUDE.md files, with fuzzy search across everything it finds
An editor Workshop tile, a notes panel, and drag-and-drop tile reordering
Remote SSH, and backups stored in London and encrypted at rest (S3 SSE-S3, AES-256), as add-ons, plus auto-update with stable and pre-release channels
The feature grid from claudedeck.ai. The site carries a working demo of the deck itself.
Deck View Selector: the free way in
The Selector is a free compact launcher: it finds every Claude Code project on your machine, gives you fuzzy search across the lot, and launches any of them in one click with three modes: Start, Resume, or Resume with Chrome. It deliberately hands off to Terminal.app rather than emulating a terminal itself. If you want to try the Deck View way of working, this is the free download to start with.
Deck View Selector: find any project, hit launch.
Pricing
The Selector launcher is a free download. Deck View Standard is 7 pounds a month (or 59 pounds a year, 119 pounds lifetime) for one machine. Pro is 9 pounds a month (79 pounds a year, 149 pounds lifetime) for two machines. Team is 7 pounds per seat per month (59 pounds per seat per year) with a five-seat minimum. SSH (2 pounds a month) and Backup and Sync (5 pounds a month) are add-ons on Pro and Team.
Deck View lives at claudedeck.ai, where there is a working demo of the deck on the page. If you spend your day in Claude Code, this is the workspace we built for exactly that day.
Cloud AI can connect to your inbox. It cannot actually read it. Here is what happened when I gave up waiting for the vendors to fix that, and built a local-first AI assistant for my own mailbox on an M5 Max, 125,000 messages, a knowledge graph, all the AI inference running on my own machine, and the things you only learn when you try.
How a single hour with a new M5 Max and an MLX inference job sent me down a thirty-six-hour rabbit hole that ended with a custom fan-control daemon, a CFRunLoop power-event monitor, and the discovery of a macOS daemon Apple does not want you to know about.
I needed to give a UPS maintenance firm a reporting tool that worked offline, in a data-centre basement, on a laptop with no signal. The answer was a feature buried in Adobe Acrobat’s JavaScript API that has, I checked, exactly two YouTube videos explaining it.
