Multitui

Sandbox claude code, codex, or any TUI on macOS

Website multitui.com
Overview

What it is

Multitui is a macOS app factory that generates individual terminal apps for TUI programs, with optional sandbox. Create dedicated native apps for claude code, codex, gemini, lazygit, harlequin, or any TUI.

Intent

I need it when

Integrate terminal tools with macOS system features and window management workflows

Multitui apps work seamlessly with Rectangle and Magnet window managers, support AppleScript, URL schemes, Finder toolbar buttons, and native document-based design with recent documents menus

Run remote terminal applications securely over SSH with fine-grained access control

Multitui supports SSH integration to run remote TUIs while maintaining per-app sandbox rules, network restrictions, and deny logs to monitor and control what each app can access

Maintain isolated command history and snippets for different projects or environments

Each Multitui app maintains its own shell history and command snippets separate from the main shell, with per-app styling to provide visual context cues for different environments

Protect my development system from untrusted code while running AI agents and terminal tools

Multitui wraps terminal apps in macOS sandbox with filesystem protection (default-deny writes/deletes), network filtering, and secrets filtering powered by gitleaks to prevent credentials from leaking over the network

Convert my favorite command-line tools into dedicated native macOS applications with proper window management

Multitui creates first-class .app bundles for any TUI program with dock icons, Spotlight integration, global keyboard shortcuts, custom themes, and Finder integration—eliminating terminal tab clutter

Drop

Not a fit when

  • User needs to run terminal apps on Windows or Linux; Multitui is macOS-only (requires macOS 15+)
  • User requires commercial/business use without waiting for Pro tier pricing; Pro is currently free in beta with no stated pricing
  • User wants to distribute custom apps to teams; Teams tier is future work not yet available
  • User needs full unrestricted file system access; Multitui enforces default-deny sandbox policies
  • User runs non-TUI applications or GUI-only tools; Multitui wraps terminal user interface programs only
