cui: Common Agent UI (Archived)
March 20, 2026 ยท View on GitHub
This fork is archived. Anthropic now offers official alternatives that cover all of cui's use cases. See below for migration guidance.
What was cui?
A modern web UI for Claude Code agents, powered by Claude Code SDK. It provided browser-based access to agent sessions, parallel background tasks, push notifications, and multi-model support.
The upstream project lives at BMPixel/cui.
Why archived?
