🧠 A prompt-first IDE built for Claude Code power users. Run parallel sessions with full MCP support, set checkpoints to branch or resume instantly, and work like tmux but smarter. Built to supercharge your workflow and unlock true 100x developer velocity.
We built Dereference because we were genuinely tired of the constant friction that came from juggling Cursor, multiple terminal windows, and scattered AI chat sessions just to get a single feature over the finish line.
Over time, it became clear that this context-switching was slowing us down far more than we realized, so we set out to design something that would eliminate that bottleneck entirely...
Dereference is made for developers who want a truly seamless way to work with the most advanced coding tools ⚡ especially CLI-native tools like Claude Code, where the power is enormous but the experience can sometimes feel fragmented.
Instead of hopping between disjointed apps, it puts everything in one clean, intuitive interface that’s designed for focus and speed.
With Dereference, you can view and edit files without ever losing your train of thought, run multi-session workflows that behave like tmux (but with the intelligence of AI baked right in), and even deploy projects straight from the same interface!
no extra tabs, no messy copy-pasting, and no disruption to your flow 🚀.
If you’re experimenting with AI-first development, or even if you’re just curious to see how Claude Code can be supercharged in the right environment, I’d love to connect.
Text me anytime and I’ll be happy to walk you through it, share what we’ve learned, or give you a live tour of how we actually use it to build faster.
Very useful product!! Do you plan to add codex support too? I prefer gpt-5-high for my tasks, but given it's quite slow, it would benefit from better parallelization too. Thanks!!
Hold up, an IDE built just for Claude Code? That’s a game-changer! I’m always bouncing between tools—does it support real-time collaboration with Claude too? Loving this direction!
Dereference lets me juggle Claude, GPT-4, Gemini, and more in parallel branch, merge, and ship faster than ever!
You got my hopes up with a "Download for Windows" button on your homepage. 😭
Congrats on the launch! 🚀 This looks like a dream setup for anyone who wants to push their coding workflow to the absolute limit — love the checkpoint + branching concept, it’s like tmux with a brain upgrade.
I’m always on the lookout for tools that save time and remove friction in the workflow, whether that’s writing better code or automating repetitive business tasks. For example, I am building tryleadbuddy.com to handle the lead generation side of things so devs can stay in their flow instead of chasing prospects. Seeing products like yours makes me excited about how much more productive we can all get when the right tools are in place.
Best of luck climbing the PH charts today! 🙌
Amazing tool for developers! Claude Code integration is seamless. @Dereference
Finally! Congrats on the launch. I expect it to significantly boost productivity — even for non-developers who want to build efficiently.
One thing I really like is being able to give names to claude code sessions instead of dealing with random ids. It makes managing multiple sessions way more intuitive and cuts down on the mental load. A small detail that makes a big difference when you’re juggling a bunch of sessions at once. Great work! Looking forward for the next release
Love how Dereference brings Claude Code and CLI power into a super clean UI—no more messy terminals everywhere, fr. This is realy next-level for dev workflows!
Wrapping Claude’s code powers in a tmux-style UI is genius—no more tab chaos or CLI headaches. Realy can see this making dev flow way smoother, fr.
Claude Code is insanely powerful, but running multiple sessions in parallel gets chaotic fast, tabs everywhere, lost context, and constant juggling. After spending nearly $2k a month on Claude Code API and struggling ourselves, we built Dereference.dev to fix this.
It’s a prompt-first IDE that lets you run and manage multiple Claude Code sessions side-by-side, keep everything persistent, and avoid terminal overload. Built like a modern IDE but as fast as the command line, it’s the developer tool we needed, and now is out for everybody!
