Claude & Claude Code

Two layouts. AI Assistants drives Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini and Codex: new chat, search, ready prompts (Summarise, Explain, Review Code, Translate), Approve, Deny and Continue for agents, Newline and Send, and one tap to switch assistants. Claude Code appears by itself when Claude Code runs in your terminal’s front tab: the Mac sees it in iTerm2, Terminal, Warp, Ghostty and others, and the pad shows its keys and its own terracotta theme instead of the terminal’s.
