When Baton is worth it for Claude Code

This page exists to answer one practical question: when does Baton actually improve a Claude Code workflow instead of just wrapping it?

  • Use it when you run multiple prompts at once and want each thread in a clean worktree instead of juggling branches manually.
  • Use it when review matters and you want to inspect diffs before pushing Claude Code output into a PR.
  • Use it when interruptions cost time and you need to see which session is done, blocked, or waiting for input.

The ultimate GUI for Claude Code

Built for developers who already like Claude Code, but want parallel sessions, cleaner git hygiene, and a faster review loop.

Agent monitoring

Know when every Claude Code session needs you

Status badges on every workspace card — done, waiting for input, or errored. Glance at the sidebar instead of cycling through terminals. Claude Code has the best-supported notification flow.

Worktree isolation

Every workspace is a separate branch

Each workspace is a real git worktree with its own branch. Claude Code sessions never interfere with each other — no stashing, switching, or conflicts. Push branches and open PRs directly from the app.
