Frame

A lightweight, IDE-style desktop application built specifically for working with Claude Code. Think VS Code, but streamlined for Claude Code workflows. You can use it on both WINDOWS and MAC-OS.

Update : Frame now supports Codex CLI and Gemini CLI too.

What is this?

Frame is a project management IDE for Claude Code that aims to:

1. Bring a standard to AI coding projects - Consistent project structure with AGENTS.md (+ CLAUDE.md symlink), STRUCTURE.json, PROJECT_NOTES.md, and tasks.json
2. Improve context and memory problems as projects grow - Automatic context preservation, session notes, and decision tracking
3. Make project management easier - Visual task management, plugins panel, and streamlined workflows

This is an Electron-based desktop application that combines:

• Project Explorer (left panel) - Browse your project files with a collapsible tree view
• Multi-Terminal (center) - Multiple terminal instances with tabs or grid view
• File Editor - Quick overlay editor for file viewing and editing
• Prompt History (right panel) - See all your commands with timestamps

The key innovation: Claude Code launches directly in your selected project directory, so you don't need to cd around. Just select a project, click "Start Claude Code", and you're ready to go.

Why build this?

The Core Problem: As projects grow with Claude Code, context gets lost between sessions. Decisions are forgotten, tasks slip through the cracks, and you end up re-explaining the same things over and over.
