Clui CC wraps Claude Code in a floating macOS overlay with multi-tab sessions, voice input via Whisper, and a permission approval UI. It's what Claude Code would feel like if it had a proper desktop app instead of a terminal.

The transparent pill interface, persistent conversation history, and skills marketplace make context-switching between projects seamless. No telemetry, no analytics, fully offline operation. Compared to Claude Code's native terminal, you get tabs and visual permission management. Claudia (claudia.so) is a similar concept but more polished. The official VS Code extension takes a different approach entirely.

Use this when you live in Claude Code all day and want a better desktop experience on macOS. Skip this on Windows or Linux — it's macOS-only, no workarounds.

The catch: it's a UI wrapper, not a new capability. If Claude Code's CLI works fine for you, Clui CC adds convenience, not power. And macOS-only means teams can't standardize on it.
