Tango

Tango is a desktop app for managing Claude Code sessions. It lets you spawn, monitor, and interact with Claude across multiple projects from a single native interface.

Built with Electrobun (Bun + native WebKit).

Install

One-liner (recommended)

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/MartinGonzalez/tango-app/main/scripts/install.sh | bash

This downloads the latest release, unzips it, and moves the app to /Applications.

Manual

1. Go to Releases
2. Download Tango-macos-arm64.zip from the latest release
3. Unzip and move Tango-dev.app to /Applications
4. Right-click the app → Open (required on first launch since the app is unsigned)

Requirements

• macOS (Apple Silicon)
• Claude Code CLI installed and working (claude command)

Features

• Session management — Spawn and manage Claude Code sessions with interactive chat
• Live streaming — See Claude's output in real-time as it works
• Tool approval — Allow/Deny dialogs for Write, Bash, and other tool calls
• Multi-stage — Open multiple project folders and switch between them
