About Crowsnest

Crowsnest is a macOS desktop app that wraps Claude Code and Codex sessions in a single workspace. It is aimed at developers who use more than one account or provider and want conversations, projects, and usage visible in one place, with everything running locally and privately.

The app compares provider-reported usage across accounts and lets you choose which account starts new work. When a session reaches its quota limit, Crowsnest can continue it on another signed-in account by passing a compact briefing into a fresh session and keeping a visible link back to the original. Other parts of the product cover agent crews, remote workspaces, a UI studio, and insights across conversations. Crowsnest is a downloadable commercial application for macOS, with a pricing page on its site.
