Tether for Claude Code

Tether is a pair of native macOS (window and menu bar) and Windows system tray apps for starting, watching, and stopping claude remote-control server sessions — one per directory — without keeping a terminal open.

Pick a directory, start a server in it, get a join link (or QR code) for claude.ai/code or the Claude mobile app, and stop it when you're done. Each running server shows its status inline.

Layout

• macos/ — SwiftUI window and menu bar app; runs each server in a built-in terminal and keeps it alive.
• windows/ — native .NET system tray app.

Each app is built and run from its own native toolchain (Xcode / Visual Studio); see that directory's README for setup.

Installing

The macOS app is available as a Homebrew cask:

brew install --cask willsawyerrrr/tap/tether

See macos/README.md for details.

Requirements

• A directory must already have its Claude Code workspace trust dialog accepted (run claude in it once, interactively) before a server can be started there.
• A Claude subscription, logged in via the claude CLI.
