MOTHERMOTHER

A terminal built around Claude Code — not just running it.

A terminal built around Claude Code instead of merely running it. MOTHER treats Claude sessions as first-class citizens — launching them, resuming them, and telling you when they need you.

Version 1.1 adds a live web preview pane that splits in beside your session, and model switching you can do without leaving the terminal.

MOTHER on your Mac.

Make it yours.

Every app ships with the same set of themes — here's the whole suite in each one.

What it does

Project launcher

Recent projects, model selection, plan mode, and one-click resume of past sessions.

Real terminal underneath

Full PTY sessions in tabs and splits — a complete terminal even without Claude.

Attention alerts

The menu-bar M lights up, notifies, and (optionally) chimes when Claude needs input while you're elsewhere.

Drop files to type paths

Drag anything onto a session and its shell-quoted path lands on the command line.

Built-in command reference

Every shortcut and Claude Code flag, openable as a tab beside a live session.

New in 1.1

Web preview pane

Hit PREVIEW in the tab strip during a session and a browser splits in beside it — the session keeps focus. ⌘D unsplits; SWAP flips it left or right like any tab.

Live dev servers

Vite, Next, anything on localhost embeds live with hot reload, with GO / RELOAD / BROWSER controls. Sites that refuse to embed open in your default browser instead.

Opens on your terms

The pane starts on a themed intro with your last URL pre-filled — nothing loads until you say so.

Claude can open it

From a session, opening mother://preview?url=… pops the preview at that URL, split beside the session. Sessions export $MOTHER\_PREVIEW, and it's in the Command Reference.

The real model, shown

The status bar's MODEL field resolves what default actually is — OPUS, SONNET, or HAIKU — instead of just saying DEFAULT.

Switch models in place

Click MODEL on a live session and pick Opus, Sonnet, or Haiku. MOTHER sends /model, Claude Code makes the switch and confirms it, and the label updates.
