dark-hxx/CLI-Manager

A multi-project AI CLI workspace for local terminals, SSH hosts, and mobile-assisted workflows

What it solves

CLI-Manager is a desktop workbench designed to enhance the workflow of developers using AI CLI tools (like Claude Code and Codex). It solves the friction of managing multiple AI-driven terminal sessions, tracking token costs across projects, reviewing code changes made by AI agents, and handling the tedious process of switching between different AI model providers or managing remote SSH environments.

How it works

It acts as a comprehensive wrapper and management layer over the terminal. It integrates directly with AI CLI tools via hooks to provide real-time notifications for permission requests and session statistics. It parses history from 11 different AI CLI sources to create a unified, searchable archive with visual diffs. For remote work, it uses a signed SSH agent to bridge remote AI CLI sessions to the local desktop. It also includes a cc-connect feature that allows users to interact with their local AI CLI agents via Telegram or Lark (Feishu).

Who it’s for

Developers who heavily rely on AI coding agents in the terminal, those managing multiple AI-powered projects simultaneously, and users who need detailed analytics on their AI token usage and costs.

Highlights

  • AI CLI Deep Integration: Real-time desktop notifications for Claude/Codex permission approvals and live token/cost tracking.
  • Unified Session History: Centralized browsing, searching, and visual Diff review for 11 different AI CLI tools.
  • Git Worktree Isolation: Automated workflow for isolating parallel AI tasks into separate directories and branches with a guided merge/cleanup process.
  • Remote & Mobile Access: Built-in SSH remote project management and the ability to continue CLI sessions via mobile messaging apps.
  • Usage Analytics: Detailed dashboards featuring heatmaps, trend charts, and cost estimation for various AI models.
  • Provider Management: One-click switching of AI backends (official vs. proxy) at the project level.
