multitasking terminal for AI coding agents, built for macOS
crystl is a free Mac terminal for AI agents like Claude Code, Codex, and OpenCode, mixed and matched however you like. With crystl guild, launch superorchestrators that launch orchestrators that launch workers, across every project at once. Each project keeps its own context in plain markdown, and when any agent needs you, a card shows up so you can answer it in one click, on your Mac or your phone.
hey PH! i'm chris, just a dad in Portland, OR, who is obsessed with getting more done with CLI agents. crystl is a real terminal that helps both you and your agents get work done faster than you'd imagine.
i just launched a superorchestration feature. if you run agents across multiple projects like i do, it gets frustrating to keep six different conversations going at the same time. now, with deus, you can launch a superorchestrator that instructs a court of orchestrators, and they report back with progress. and the best part: you can mix and match Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, and more, so you're never limited to a single model.
the terminal itself is free. it runs the agents you already use and keeps each project's context in plain files in your project folder. orchestration comes with crystl guild.
today is Hypership Day, so tell me what to fix, change, or add. i'll ship as many as i can before midnight and reply on each request with the version number.
questions, complaints, ridicule (and bugs!) all welcome.

Who hunted crystl?
crystl was hunted by Chris Bolton. A “hunter” on Product Hunt is the community member who submits a product to the platform — uploading the images, the link, and tagging the makers behind it.
