Claudeman

wsl bash -c "curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Ark0N/claudeman/master/install.sh | bash"

Claudeman requires tmux, so Windows users need WSL. If you don't have WSL yet: run wsl --install in an admin PowerShell, reboot, open Ubuntu, then install Claude CLI inside WSL: curl -fsSL https://claude.ai/install.sh | bash. After installing, http://localhost:3000 is accessible from your Windows browser.

Mobile-Optimized Web UI

The most responsive Claude Code experience on any phone. Full xterm.js terminal with local echo, swipe navigation, and a touch-optimized interface designed for real remote work.

• Swipe navigation — left/right on the terminal to switch sessions (80px threshold, 300ms)
• Keyboard accessory bar — /init, /clear, /compact quick-action buttons above the virtual keyboard. Destructive commands (/clear, /compact) require a double-press to confirm — first tap arms the button, second tap executes — so you never fire one by accident on a bumpy commute
• Smart keyboard handling — toolbar and terminal shift up when keyboard opens (uses visualViewport API with 100px threshold for iOS address bar drift)
• Safe area support — respects iPhone notch and home indicator via env(safe-area-inset-*)
• 44px touch targets — all buttons meet iOS Human Interface Guidelines minimum sizes
• Bottom sheet case picker — slide-up modal replaces the desktop dropdown
• Native momentum scrolling — -webkit-overflow-scrolling: touch for buttery scroll

localhost works over plain HTTP. Use --https when accessing from another device, or use Tailscale (recommended) — it provides a private network so you can access http://<tailscale-ip>:3000 from your phone without TLS certificates.

Live Agent Visualization

Watch Claude's background agents work in real-time. Claudeman monitors every Task tool invocation and displays each agent in a draggable floating window with animated Matrix-style connection lines back to the parent session.

• Floating terminal windows — draggable, resizable panels for each agent with a live activity log showing every tool call, file read, and progress update as it happens
• Connection lines — animated green lines linking parent sessions to their child agents, updating in real-time as agents spawn and complete
• Status & model badges — green (active), yellow (idle), blue (completed) indicators with Haiku/Sonnet/Opus model color coding
• Auto-behavior — windows auto-open on spawn, auto-minimize on completion, tab badge shows "AGENT" or "AGENTS (n)" count
• Nested agents — supports 3-level hierarchies (lead session -> teammate agents -> sub-subagents)

Zero-Lag Input Overlay

When accessing Claude Code remotely (VPN, Tailscale, SSH tunnel), every keystroke normally takes 200-300ms to round-trip. Claudeman implements a Mosh-inspired local echo system that makes typing feel instant regardless of latency.

A pixel-perfect DOM overlay inside xterm.js renders keystrokes at 0ms. Background forwarding silently sends every character to the PTY in 50ms debounced batches, so Tab completion, Ctrl+R history search, and all shell features work normally. When the server echo arrives 200-300ms later, the overlay seamlessly disappears and the real terminal text takes over — the transition is invisible.

• Ink-proof architecture — lives as a <span> at z-index 7 inside .xterm-screen, completely immune to Ink's constant screen redraws (two previous attempts using terminal.write() failed because Ink corrupts injected buffer content)
• Font-matched rendering — reads fontFamily, fontSize, fontWeight, and letterSpacing from xterm.js computed styles so overlay text is visually indistinguishable from real terminal output
• Full editing — backspace, retype, paste (multi-char), cursor tracking, multi-line wrap when input exceeds terminal width
• Persistent across reconnects — unsent input survives page reloads via localStorage
• Enabled by default — works on both desktop and mobile, during idle and busy sessions

Respawn Controller

The core of autonomous work. When Claude goes idle, the Respawn Controller detects it, sends a continue prompt, cycles /clear -> /init for fresh context, and resumes — running 24+ hours completely unattended.

WATCHING → IDLE DETECTED → SEND UPDATE → /clear → /init → CONTINUE → WATCHING

• Multi-layer idle detection — completion messages, AI-powered idle check, output silence, token stability
• Circuit breaker — prevents respawn thrashing when Claude is stuck (CLOSED -> HALF_OPEN -> OPEN states, tracks consecutive no-progress and repeated errors)
• Health scoring — 0-100 health score with component scores for cycle success, circuit breaker state, iteration progress, and stuck recovery
• Built-in presets — solo-work (3s idle, 60min), subagent-workflow (45s, 240min), team-lead (90s, 480min), ralph-todo (8s, 480min), overnight-autonomous (10s, 480min)

Multi-Session Dashboard

Run 20 parallel sessions with full visibility — real-time xterm.js terminals at 60fps, per-session token and cost tracking, tab-based navigation, and one-click management.

Persistent Sessions

Every session runs inside tmux — sessions survive server restarts, network drops, and machine sleep. Auto-recovery on startup with dual redundancy. Ghost session discovery finds orphaned tmux sessions. Claude knows it's managed and won't kill its own session.
