Winy
Use case - Claude Code
Attach Winy to the Claude Code sessions you already run
Keep Claude Code in your terminal. Winy attaches to the sessions you already run and puts each one on your board as a live card, so nothing has to move.
You started Claude Code in a terminal, it is halfway through a task, and you want a better view of it: its choices as buttons, its conversation easy to read, your notes beside it, and a look at it from your iPad.
Claude Code's own desktop app does not pick up a session that is still open in another terminal; its docs say to close it there first. Winy works the other way round: your Claude Code sessions can still live in your terminal, and Winy attaches to the ones you already run.
How it works
Keep running Claude Code
Start Claude Code in whichever terminal you use, the way you do now.
Your sessions show up
Sessions you already have running show up in Winy, ready to put on the board.
One tap puts it on the board
Tap a session and it lands on your board as a live card, right next to your notes.
What the card gives you
Pickers become buttons
When Claude Code asks you to choose, the card shows the options as buttons, something a bare terminal cannot do.
The conversation, not the grid
Flip the card from the terminal grid to the conversation, rendered natively and easy to read.
One line on what it is doing
Zoom out and every card says, in one sentence, what its agent is doing right now.
Every agent's state at a glance
Square status lights say which agents are working, which are waiting on you, and which are done.
Your notes beside it, visible to it
Notes, ink, images and arrows sit on the same board as the agent, and all of it is visible to the agents you work with.
Ink over a live session
Draw straight across the running session. Ink sits on top of anything on the board, a live terminal included.
A command bar on the card
Every card has its own command bar, with the same verbs a script can use.
On your Mac, iPad and iPhone
The same board is on all three while the Mac runs the agents, with local-first sync over your own network. No cloud holds your notes.
Other ways to reach a running session
Claude Code has its own ways to reach a session from somewhere else, and each is the right pick for some jobs. If all you need is to answer one session from your phone, Remote Control is built in.
| Option | What it does | Your terminal session |
|---|---|---|
| Remote Control (/rc) | Continues a session running on your machine from claude.ai/code or the Claude app on iOS and Android; needs a Pro, Max, Team or Enterprise plan | Keeps running, and you can type from both sides |
| Agent View (claude agents) | One screen listing your background sessions by state, to peek at or attach to | Shows up once you send it to the background with /bg |
| Claude Code Desktop (/desktop) | Saves the session and opens it in Anthropic's desktop app | The CLI exits and the desktop app takes over |
| Winy | Attaches to the session and puts it on your board as a live card, beside your notes, on Mac, iPad and iPhone | Stays in your terminal; nothing has to move |
Questions
Can I attach a GUI to a Claude Code session that is already running in my terminal?
Claude Code Desktop cannot: its docs say it does not move a session that is open in another terminal or still running in the background, and its /desktop command hands a session over by exiting the CLI. Remote Control lets claude.ai/code or the Claude app continue a running session. Winy attaches to the sessions you already run and shows each one on your board as a live card.
Do I have to restart my Claude Code session?
No. Winy attaches to the sessions you already run, so the session stays in your terminal and nothing has to move.
Does it work with any terminal?
Yes. Your Claude Code sessions can live in whichever terminal you use, and Winy attaches to the ones you already run.
Does attaching work with Codex or other agents?
Attaching, pickers as buttons and the conversation view are Claude Code extras. Codex and other command-line agents run on the board too, as real, live sessions in terminal cards.
How is this different from Remote Control?
Remote Control continues one local session from claude.ai/code or the Claude app, on a Pro, Max, Team or Enterprise plan. Winy puts each session you attach on one board as a card, next to your notes and ink, and that board opens on your Mac, iPad and iPhone.
Is Winy available yet?
Winy is in early access and coming soon to Mac, iPad and iPhone. Join the Slack community at winy.ai/slack for early access. There is no pricing yet.
Thinking is Winning
Think with your agents.
Winy is a Mac, iPad and iPhone canvas where you think and work with AI agents in one place. Better thinking in, better output.
