Run Claude Code agents in terminal with a visual editor
Terminals are great for running agents, but terrible for editing markdown. spacecake is an open-source desktop app that supercharges Claude Code with a Notion-style markdown editor and integrated Ghostty terminal. The status bar shows your context window and usage cost ($) in real time, while the tasks panel gives you a live view of what agents are doing and what’s coming next.
My workflow has completely changed in the last 6 months.
I hardly ever write code by hand anymore - most of my time is spent writing markdown specs and prompts for Claude.
The terminal is the best interface we have for agents, but it's a terrible interface for markdown.
As a long-time Notion user suddenly living in the terminal, I wanted the best of both worlds. So I built spacecake.
