Claude Code is powerful — and lives in a terminal. Instify is a desktop UI on top of it: plan features as stories on a board, run Claude Code or Codex in one click, and watch every file change as it happens.
In a terminal session, what you asked for and what actually shipped scroll away together. A GUI keeps every feature as a card you can see, run, and review — nothing gets buried in scrollback.
Instead of raw terminal output, Instify parses every line into structured events — files edited, commands run, decisions made — color-coded and kept as history after each run.
Instify runs OpenAI Codex through the same interface. Assign Claude Code to reasoning-heavy stories and Codex to well-defined tasks — per project or per story.
Instify is a native macOS app, not a web wrapper. Everything runs on your machine — the only external calls are to the AI provider APIs, the same ones you'd make from the terminal.
Want the board-centric view of the same workflow? See kanban for Claude Code, or browse all features.
No. Instify is an independent Mac app that runs Claude Code (and OpenAI Codex) for you. It is not affiliated with Anthropic or OpenAI.
For day-to-day feature work, yes — you plan stories on a board, run agents in one click, and review structured output. The terminal is still there if you want it; Instify just means you rarely need it.
No. Instify is Mac-native and everything runs locally. Your source code never leaves your computer. The only external calls are to the AI provider APIs — the same calls you'd make manually.
