Crystl
Crystl is a specialized macOS terminal built to make working with multiple Claude Code agents feel coordinated instead of chaotic. Projects are isolated into 'gems' and 'shards' so several agents can run in parallel against the same codebase without colliding on files, each working inside its own git worktree. Crystl layers in quality-of-life tooling that command-line workflows usually lack: agent notifications, saved configurations, full conversation history, remote SSH development, MCP server support, a project optimizer, and a 'Crystl Quest' agent party system for orchestrating multi-agent collaboration on a single task. It's aimed at developers who already run heavy AI-assisted workflows and want a purpose-built control surface instead of juggling tabs and tmux panes.
