Claudete
Claudete is a control panel for running many AI coding-agent sessions in one window. It lets developers command Claude Code, Codex, Grok and OpenCode fleets using the subscriptions they already have, without API keys or additional usage billing through Claudete.

Show HN: Claudete – Command a legion of Claude Code instances and shells
Claudete CLI for Linux launched with one-command installation and browser-based server cockpit
AI Buddy launched as a free screenshot and dictation companion for Claudete, with source available on GitHub
Claudete published a Vibe Kanban comparison page positioning itself as an actively shipped live-terminal alternative
Products & Services
A native macOS control panel that tiles genuine agent terminals and shells, supports named project tabs, fleet-wide prompts, shared chat rooms, file editing, usage windows, CPU/memory monitoring and provider health. It supports macOS 13+, Apple Silicon and Intel, and needs no account.
A self-contained Linux server package installed with curl that runs the Claudete web cockpit in a browser. It bundles Node, supports Linux x64 and arm64 with glibc, can run as a systemd service, self-updates with checksum verification, and defaults to loopback plus token access.
A free macOS menu-bar companion for screenshots and dictation. It captures a region, window or full screen to the clipboard and transcribes speech to text; the official page describes it as source-available, about 900 lines of Swift and dependency-free.
Market Position
Claudete positions itself as a live-terminal fleet manager rather than a kanban/task-board product or a replacement for Claude Code. Its official comparison with Vibe Kanban emphasizes tiled real terminals, broadcast and chat rooms, usage/resource/provider monitoring, weekly shipping and compatibility with existing subscriptions; Macapp Supply likewise highlights genuine PTYs rather than a reimplemented chat box. Other alternatives named on Claudete's comparison page include Conductor Agent, claude-squad, Parallel Code, Emdash, Sculptor and OpenHands Claude Code.
Leadership
Founders
Ionut Moraru
Software developer identified as the author of Claudete by Macapp Supply and as the creator of the project in the Show HN launch post. His public GitHub profile describes him as a Software Developer, based in Drobeta-Turnu Severin, and shows earlier projects including a Telegram tipping bot, music-discovery software and WebDollar blockchain work.
Founding Story
Moraru said Claudete began as a weekend project prompted by frustration with classic terminal applications: restarting a Mac stopped Claude Code or shell sessions, and terminal apps were not optimized for running multiple Claude Code instances. The initial vision was to keep multiple agent and shell sessions running, resumable and manageable in a single optimized window.
Business Model
Revenue Model
Freemium software licensing: the full app is free up to three concurrent instances, while Pro is a one-time lifetime license. Claudete does not bill API usage; it drives the user's existing AI subscriptions.
Pricing Tiers
All features included, with up to 3 instances at a time; no account or trial timer.
Unlimited instances, everything in Free, license for 3 Macs, updates included and no subscription.
Free forever Mac screenshot and dictation companion; no sign-up.
