About the Project

Jean is a native desktop app built with Tauri that gives you a powerful interface for working with Claude CLI across multiple projects. It manages git worktrees, chat sessions, terminals, and GitHub integrations — all in one place.

No vendor lock-in. Everything runs locally on your machine with your own Claude CLI installation.
