What it solves

Jean provides a unified native desktop interface for developers who use multiple AI CLI tools (such as Claude, Codex, Cursor, and Grok) across various projects. It eliminates the need to switch between disparate terminal windows and tools by integrating project management, git worktrees, and AI chat sessions into a single cohesive workflow without vendor lock-in.

How it works

Built with Tauri, React, and Rust, Jean acts as a powerful wrapper around your existing local CLI installations. It manages the execution of these AI tools and integrates them with developer utilities like git worktrees, terminals, and external services like GitHub and Linear. It can be run as a native desktop application or as a headless server that exposes its UI via HTTP/WebSocket for browser-based access.

Who it’s for

Software developers who rely on AI-assisted coding and want a centralized hub to manage multiple projects, AI chat sessions, and git-based workflows without being tied to a single AI vendor.

Highlights
