Admiral
A native macOS command center for Claude Code. Iterate, refactor, and ship with a focused UI built for developers.

Built for macOS. Designed for developers.
Admiral is designed from the ground up as a native Swift app. Every interaction feels fast, familiar, and focused. So you can work with AI without fighting your tools.
Pure Mac. Built on AppKit — the same framework behind Apple’s own apps. No web views. No Electron. Just native performance that feels exactly right.
See everything. At a glance. A three-panel layout puts your projects, conversations, and code changes side by side. No tab hunting. No context switching.
It keeps working. Even when you don’t. Claude runs in the background across multiple chats. A colored dot tells you the status. Come back when it’s ready.
Dark mode. For real this time. Every color hand-tuned for contrast. Every surface designed for late nights. This isn’t a filter — it’s a second skin.
Typography that breathes. Monospaced code, proportional prose, and syntax highlights balanced for readability. Every character placed with care so long sessions never feel heavy.
Your Mac. Your rules. Native shortcuts, menu bar integration, and window behavior that respects how macOS actually works. Muscle memory isn’t optional.
Code with the world's leading AI coding tools.
The best AI coding agents. One native interface. Switch models, compare results, and use each one where it shines.
Claude Code. Built in. Deep reasoning, massive refactors, and full-project understanding. The kind of AI that reads your entire codebase and actually gets it.
Codex. Coming soon. Fast iteration, practical engineering, and rapid prototyping. A second engine for the days you need speed over depth.

One interface. Every model. Switch engines without relearning anything. Same layout, same controls, same muscle memory — just a different brain underneath.
Know what’s running. Always. Which model, which context, which files. Admiral makes it obvious so you never have to wonder what’s happening behind the scenes.
Multiple chats. In parallel. Run separate conversations across different parts of your project at the same time. Each one gets its own session, its own context, its own thread.
Pick the right tool for the job. Some problems need deep analysis. Others need quick answers. Admiral lets you reach for the right model without leaving your workflow.
Your favorite tools, connected and powerful.
Coding isn't just writing text — it's running, testing, reviewing, and shipping. Admiral understands that.
Git. Front and center. Stage, commit, and push without leaving the window. Side-by-side diffs show exactly what AI changed — so you approve with confidence, not faith.
Terminal. Built right in. A native terminal panel with full ANSI support. Run builds, tests, and scripts inches from your conversation.
Diffs that make sense. Every AI-suggested edit rendered as a clean, visual diff. Review changes the way you already do — line by line.
File inspector. Always open. Browse your project tree, see modified files at a glance, and preview changes without switching context.
Worktrees. Per chat. Isolate branches for each conversation so experiments never collide. Merge when you’re ready, discard when you’re not.
AI-generated commits. Admiral drafts conventional commit messages from your staged changes. One click to accept, edit, or start over.
Built with security you can actually trust.
Your conversations and project data are stored locally on your Mac. API keys live in the macOS Keychain. Nothing is shared, nothing is sold. Everything is yours.
Stored on your Mac. Period. Conversations, project data, and session history live locally on your machine. No cloud sync. No telemetry. No surprises.
Keychain-native. API keys are stored in the macOS Keychain, the same encrypted vault your passwords and certificates already trust.
Your keys. Your account. Admiral connects directly to your API provider. No middleman, no proxy, no shared credentials passing through our servers.
Review before it runs. Every file edit, every terminal command, every action AI wants to take surfaces for your approval first. Or authorize all at once. Your call.
No analytics. No tracking. Admiral doesn’t phone home. No usage data, no behavior tracking, no anonymous metrics. The app works for you and only you.
Open permission model. Grant access per session, per action, or all at once. Permissions are visible, adjustable, and never assumed.
Designed from the ground up for macOS.
Web-based tools are great for browsing, but heavyweight workflows deserve a real Mac app.
Speed you can feel. Instant launches, zero lag on input, and buttery animations. When your tool is native, every millisecond shows.
Less memory. More headroom. No browser engine running underneath. Admiral uses a fraction of the memory so your machine stays free for builds, tests, and the work that matters.
Offline by default. Your UI never depends on a server. Admiral launches, navigates, and manages your projects whether you’re connected or not.
System-level integration. Notifications, Spotlight, file associations, and drag-and-drop that work because they’re built on the same APIs as every other Mac app you love.
Built to age well. New macOS features arrive on day one. Universal binary. Native Apple Silicon. No runtime translation, no compatibility layers, no waiting.
Your battery will thank you. No background browser chewing through cycles. Admiral is lightweight, energy-efficient, and designed to disappear from Activity Monitor.
