Canopy runs parallel Claude Code sessions in sandboxed macOS windows
Canopy is a native macOS app by juliensimon that runs multiple Claude Code sessions in parallel using git worktrees, sandboxes, and a single window — eliminating manual context-switching hacks.
Score breakdown
Canopy replaces the fragile manual workarounds — stashing, multiple clones, hand-written shell scripts — that developers previously needed to run concurrent Claude Code sessions across branches.
- 01Canopy is a native macOS app that runs multiple Claude Code sessions in parallel using git worktrees
- 02All sessions are presented in a single window with sandboxing and auto-resume
- 03Includes a token dashboard and a merge & finish workflow
Canopy is a native macOS application authored by juliensimon that orchestrates parallel Claude Code sessions using git worktrees, presenting them all in a single window with zero manual context switching. The project addresses a core friction point in agentic coding workflows: Claude Code is highly effective at single-task, single-directory work, but real production engineering routinely demands simultaneous progress on multiple branches — a bug report arriving mid-refactor, a teammate's review request while writing tests, or a flaky test investigation running alongside active feature shipping.
Its feature set includes sandboxed sessions, auto-resume, a merge & finish workflow, and a token dashboard.
The app ships as a universal binary for both Apple Silicon and Intel Macs, requires macOS 14 or later, and is notarized. Its feature set includes sandboxed sessions, auto-resume, a merge & finish workflow, and a token dashboard. The repository has 85 stars and 2 forks at the time of publication, and juliensimon describes it as a tool he has used daily on his own production projects for months before making it public.
