Jean corrals Claude, Codex, Cursor, and OpenCode under one roof

What it does Jean is a Tauri-based native desktop app that acts as mission control for several AI coding CLIs. It wraps Claude CLI, Codex CLI, Cursor CLI, and OpenCode into a single interface, adding project management, git worktree automation, and integrated terminals. The app also folds in GitHub and Linear workflows, effectively trying to keep your entire AI-assisted development context in one local window.

The interesting bit The opinionated part is what stands out. It doesn’t just chat; it enforces execution modes like Plan, Build, and Yolo with approval flows, and it treats git worktrees as first-class citizens—checking out PRs as separate worktrees and auto-archiving them on merge. It also runs a headless HTTP/WebSocket server so you can access the UI from a browser remotely.

Key highlights

• Supports four distinct AI CLI backends—Claude, Codex, Cursor, and OpenCode—with per-prompt model and backend selection.
• First-class git worktree management: create, archive, restore, and delete worktrees, including checking out PRs as isolated worktrees.
• Execution modes (Plan, Build, Yolo) with plan approval flows and session recaps.
• Built-in remote access via an HTTP server with WebSocket support and token-based auth.
• Deep integrations with GitHub (Dependabot, workflow investigation) and Linear (issue context loading).

Caveats

• Windows support is explicitly listed as “not fully tested,” and Linux is only “community tested” on Arch with Hyprland/Wayland.
• It is strictly a local wrapper: you must install and manage your own Claude CLI, Codex CLI, Cursor CLI, or OpenCode binaries separately.

Verdict Developers already using Claude CLI or Codex and struggling to juggle multiple projects or git branches should look here; if you are happy inside a single VS Code window with one Copilot sidebar, this probably adds more friction than value.
