First beta for colleagues. Atelier is a macOS app (Apple Silicon) for running many Claude Code sessions side by side.
- Sessions that stay alive: Claude Code runs in real terminals owned by a background service, so sessions survive
closing the window, updating the app and restarting the Mac (resume them from the sidebar or with ⌘⇧N).
- Know who needs you: each session shows its state (needs permission, has a question, working, done, failed),
model, context and cost; ⌘J jumps to the next session waiting for you; notification center (⌘⇧J), Dock menu and
banners for finished or blocked sessions.
- Tabs for terminals and files, a command palette (⌘K or F1) and context menus everywhere; pinned sessions, groups
by state, sessions and terminals in any folder of the project. Closing a tab only hides it: sessions keep running in
the sidebar until you close them there.
- Files and editor: file tree with git colors, a fast editor (save, find, comment, change language), safe handling
of conflicts with Claude’s edits, files moved to the Trash, never deleted.
- Review Claude’s work: Changes view colored by the session that touched each file, a Review tab with hunks and
line comments you can send back to the session as
@file#L10-24 references.
- Atelier terminal profile: a clean, fast zsh with command blocks (⌘↑/⌘↓, copy command or output) and output
triggers that notify or highlight; your own zsh or bash are one click away.
- Dictation (off by default, Settings › Dictation): hold ⌥Space to talk to Claude; transcription runs locally
(whisper.cpp on Metal, a 574 MB model downloaded on first setup), optionally polished.
- Settings (⌘,) for appearance, terminal, editor, Claude defaults, notifications, dictation and shortcuts.
- Automatic updates: Atelier checks for new versions in the background, verifies their signature and installs them
on the next restart without closing your sessions. Choose the Stable or Beta channel in Settings › About.
