README

env-tabs

Your projects, pinned in Claude Desktop's Code tab

A **Projects pane** with your pinned projects on top, **live session states** like the sidebar's dots,
and a **tab above the prompt** for every project you pin.

Claude Desktop's Code tab with the env-tabs Projects pane docked on the right, pinned projects on top with session dots and counts, and project tabs above the prompt

Demo projects. The pictures are drawn by docs/demo/render.mjs with the mod's own icons and colors.

Why

The Code tab's sidebar sorts its folder groups by itself, by recent activity or A to Z, and there is no way to keep the projects you use most at the top. Plenty of people have asked for one, on Windows and on macOS: [#70104](https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues/70104), [#66196](https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues/66196), [#102088](https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues/102088).

Neither a mod nor Claude can pin a folder group in the app's sidebar, so **env-tabs** draws a Projects pane of its own beside the conversation, and tabs above the prompt. Your sessions are not moved or filed anywhere: the app's sidebar stays exactly as it is.
