Works with

  • Claude Code
  • Codex CLI
  • Gemini CLI

Your own installs and sign-ins. Dawsha never handles credentials.

New in 1.8.0

1.8.0 is a full redesign: one type, colour and spacing system, one style for every control, a top bar with the pages in it, two ways to lay out sessions, and an approval card that shows what an agent is asking. It also carries the 1.7.6 and 1.7.5 changes.

A new look, one style

Buttons, tabs, menus, dialogs, toggles and dropdowns share one style, set in Geist and JetBrains Mono, which are bundled with the app so text looks the same on every computer.

  • The top bar holds Sessions, Agents, Files, Work and Skills, with the page you are on highlighted, next to one usage strip.
  • New session sits at the right end with its agent menu and its Ctrl+N hint.
  • The light theme is readable: terminal text is at least 4.5:1 against its background.

An approval card that says what it wants

A session that needs you gets an orange edge and a card with the tool, the command and the project, so you can decide without reading the whole terminal.

  • Allow, Allow always (when the agent offers it) and Deny are on the card, with Enter and Esc shown on the buttons.
  • Each pane's menu is grouped into 13 items. The other actions are in the command palette.
  • Panes show a footer only when it has something to show.
Calm focus: one large focused Claude Code session with an approval card asking to run a migration, and three smaller sessions beside it

Two ways to see your sessions

Calm focus, the default, gives one large session the room while the others wait beside it. Mission control gives every session an equal tile.

  • Switch in Settings, under Appearance, or from the Layouts button beside Grid and Board.
  • Both styles keep the same approval cards, status and edges, so nothing that needs you is hidden.
Mission control: four equal session tiles with an approval card on one of them that needs you

Settings in sections

Settings is split into sections with a search box, and Import opens a file picker at your Desktop.

Settings open on Appearance, with the theme and the sessions grid style, Calm focus or Mission control, and a search box for settings
  • Linked skills are marked Linked in Skills, and every skill shows its description.
  • Projects can Locate a folder that has moved, and the sidebar resizes reliably.
  • Files shows one diff look, with Discard kept apart from Commit. What's new lists each release by section.

Agents, each on its own page

Maya's goal box sits on top, and every agent is a card with its purpose, model, last run and a Run button.

  • Open an agent to see it on its own page, with a Live tab while it runs.
  • Maya the Lead is shown on her own, so the counter at the top matches the sections.

From 1.7.6 and 1.7.5

Agents you keep

The Agents tab is now your crew. Each agent has a name, a role, its own instructions, prompt fields, a model, permissions and the projects it may work in.

  • Eight built-in agents ship with Dawsha: Maya the Lead, Sami, Tarek, Omar, Hana, Lina, Nour and Yara. Duplicate one to change it, or make your own.
  • Run an agent in any project and pick the model for that run: Claude Fable, Opus, Sonnet or Haiku, Codex or Gemini. Each run opens as a normal session titled with the agent's name, like "Sami · PR 8841".
  • Runs start lean, without your MCP servers. That was about 40% cheaper in our tests than running the same instructions as a skill.
  • In Skills, Make an agent turns a skill into an agent and says why for every choice. You can also import your Claude agents and Codex prompts.
  • Paste a correlation id with "on dev", a pull request link or a build link into New session, and Dawsha suggests the agent with its fields filled in.

See who is working

An agent's avatar breathes while it works, flashes when it needs you, flashes once when it's done and shows ✕ when it fails, always with a word too.

Four sessions titled with agent names, such as Sami · PR 8841, each with its avatar, and a strip in the top bar showing who is working and who needs you
  • The top bar shows who is on a job. Sessions, the sidebar, Waiting on you and notifications show the agent's name and avatar.
  • Every run is a normal session, so it sits in the grid, the board and Resume like any other.
  • The dawsha crew command lists your agents and runs them from a terminal, with status and result.

Maya, the Lead

Give Maya a goal and a project. She plans, you approve, and she runs the agents as normal sessions.

  • She proposes a plan first: who does what, on which model, at what estimated cost. Nothing starts until you approve it.
  • Approved jobs show as lanes on a board, each with the agent's live state.
  • She asks you before pushing, merging, posting comments or deleting. The question waits on the board for your answer.
  • Dawsha enforces her limits, not Maya: how many agents run at once (2 by default), a budget per goal ($3 by default) and which agents she may use. Change them under How she leads.

Agents and Remote Access on your phone

Remote Access has an Agents tab. Run one of your agents on your PC from the phone, and follow what is on a job and the goal Maya is working on.

  • Running agents from the phone is behind a new Run agents permission, which is off by default.
  • Remote Access says plainly whether your phone can reach this PC. It notices a dropped tunnel in about ten seconds, offers Reconnect, and can reconnect on its own.
  • The Remote Access page is rebuilt: connect a phone, your phones (Remove asks first and names the phone), what a phone can do, now enforced on the PC, and a recent activity log.
  • The phone app has real agent logos, filled cards, big buttons and a light theme.

From 1.7.5

Shipped just before 1.7.6, and worth a second look.

The Projects sidebar in zones: an Active section of project cards, a pinned project, and a quiet list headed No sessions with the number of projects
Files with the Problems tab open under the editor, listing two TypeScript errors and a warning grouped by file
  • A much smaller app. The Windows installer went from 199 MB to 114 MB.
  • A clearer sidebar. Active projects sit on cards, pinned projects come first, and projects with no sessions fold into one quiet list.
  • Codex limits. The limits popover shows Codex next to Claude, and the account you are signed in with.
  • A Problems tab. Files lists the errors and warnings from a run, by file, and opens each at its line.

Earlier releases

1.7.4

Search and Review in Files, with comments you send to the agent. A details pane for background agents, since replaced by your own agents. A Projects sidebar built around what needs you, and refined Dawsha Cards.

Notes for 1.7.4

1.7

The Files view with Ctrl+P quick open, session tags that colour themselves, and a calmer grid. Later 1.7 releases added worktree browsing in Files, a Delete that asks first and uses the Recycle Bin, and run commands for .NET and Node projects.

Notes for 1.7

1.6

Arabic in every session, voice dictation, a calmer grid, the Agents tab and a handoff that carries the whole conversation. Installing Claude Code from Dawsha no longer breaks an existing install.

Notes for 1.6

1.5

The Orchestrator hands a feature or a bug to a team of agents. The Work dashboard and Tickets show where your day went, and Remote Control connects more reliably.

Notes for 1.5

1.0

The sessions board, the session timeline, search across every session, Replay, and approvals from your phone.

Notes for 1.0

How it works

  1. Install

    Run the installer or the portable exe. Sign in once to each agent CLI you use, in any terminal.

  2. Add projects

    Pick a folder and a default agent. A short first-run setup shows which CLIs it found.

  3. Start sessions

    Press Ctrl+N, or run dawsha . in a folder. Each agent runs in its own terminal.

  4. Stay on top

    Glance at status, plans and context. Come back when a session needs your input.

The dawsha command

The installer adds it to your PATH. Open a new terminal and drive Dawsha from where you already work.

# add this folder and start its agent
dawsha .

# start a specific agent on a project
dawsha start billing-api --agent codex

# pick up the newest session
dawsha resume --last
