Hey Product Hunt,
I'm Sami, maker of Shiori (the AI chat app). ShioriCode is a different project — a desktop interface for running coding-agent CLIs in real projects.
The core problem: the agent CLIs I rely on (Codex, Claude Code, Cursor, Gemini, Kimi) are great, but my coding work doesn't fit in a single prompt. Long sessions die in the terminal, threads get crowded, diffs vanish into scrollback.
ShioriCode keeps each agent run as a project-aware thread tied to a branch and workspace, streams activity into a readable timeline, and surfaces generated diffs without leaving the app. Pick whichever CLI you have authed (or use the hosted Shiori provider) and go.
It's still early and source-available — sharp edges around setup, packaging, and provider support are the part your feedback would help most.
github.com/shiorihq/shioricode — happy to answer anything.
The 'long sessions die in the terminal' problem is real — I've lost entire Claude Code runs to scrollback with zero recovery. The branch-aware threading is the part that genuinely interests me, because right now switching between Claude Code and Codex mid-task means full context reset every time. One question: when you unify multiple providers in one thread, are you normalizing the diff format across them, or just rendering each CLI's native output? That distinction determines whether ShioriCode is a launcher or a real abstraction layer — very different products with very different moats
Could I access that from a remote machine? Run it on an Ubuntu and access it over X I suppose - or are there better ways?
Hey Sami, went through ShioriCode's page and the "long sessions die in the terminal" line basically described my last week. one thing I wanted to ask, when you unify Claude Code, Codex, and Gemini in one workspace, are you normalizing the tool-call format under the hood or just rendering each one's native output? that abstraction call feels like make-or-break.
The project-aware threads plus streaming diff review solves a real problem. Agent CLIs have terrible UX for work that spans hours across multiple files. Building RetainSure, we kept hitting context window limits in long-running sessions and had to externalize state manually. How does ShioriCode handle continuity when an underlying agent reaches its token limit mid-session?
