What Yume does
Native desktop UI for Claude Code with orchestration, streaming, background agents, and multi-provider support. Built with Tauri + React.

why yume?
Claude Code is transformative for development. Terminal interfaces hold it back.
terminal limitations
- flickering — 700+ upvoted github issue, fundamentally unfixed
- performance degradation — multi-second delays in extended sessions
- terminal crashes — IDE instability after 10-20 minutes of heavy use
- hidden rate limits — requires manual
/usagechecks - fragile sessions — complete loss on crash, no recovery mechanism
yume's approach
- ✅ native rendering - hardware-accelerated UI, zero terminal artifacts
- ✅ consistent <50ms latency - responsive input across unlimited session length
- ✅ standalone architecture - immune to IDE/terminal crashes
- ✅ persistent rate limit display - 5-hour and 7-day metrics always visible
- ✅ automatic session recovery - 5-minute checkpoint intervals with 24-hour retention
how it works
yume is **not** an alternate harness or api wrapper. we spawn the **official claude code cli** as a subprocess.
yume app → spawns real cli binary → cli handles auth → anthropic servers
this is fundamentally different from tools that spoof headers to bypass api pricing. yume:
- runs the actual
claudebinary installed on your machine - uses your existing claude pro/max subscription
- never touches anthropic's api directly
- maintains 100% cli compatibility (subagents, mcp, hooks, skills, claude.md all work)
think of it like **iterm vs terminal.app** - a different frontend for the same tool.
features
orchestration flow (unique to yume)
- automatic task decomposition - understand → decompose → act → verify workflow
- complex task handling - 3+ step tasks get architect planning, implementer execution, guardian verification
- trivial task passthrough - simple tasks proceed directly without overhead
- no commands needed - baked into every session via --append-system-prompt
agent system
- 4 built-in agents - synced to ~/.claude/agents/yume-*.md
- architect - plans, decomposes tasks, identifies risks, todowrite tracking
- explorer - read-only codebase search, glob/grep/read, never modifies
- implementer - focused code changes, edit/write, minimal diffs
- guardian - reviews for bugs, security, performance after changes
- 4 concurrent background agents - async execution with git branch isolation (yume-async-{type}-{id})
- no timeout - agents run until completion, output to ~/.yume/agent-output/
- streaming isolation - background agents don't interfere with main session
- merge conflict detection - pre-merge checks b
