Create a new branch or check out an existing one, with filtering to find your starting point

✓

Run Make and mise tasks alongside your saved repository commands

✓

Open editors and other tools in the selected worktree with one click

✓

Resume Codex & Claude Code conversations from the worktree where they happened

✓

Keep conversation discovery private and entirely on your Mac

✓

Use Grove branch prefixes and bootstrap commands when creating worktrees

✓

Close stale tool windows when you switch, or leave them right where they are

Make & mise tasks

Your project already knows how to build.

Arborist discovers Make and mise tasks at the root of your worktree and lists them below your saved commands. Run the tasks your project already defines, right from the checkout you’re working in.

Edit a task definition and the list updates live. Longer-running tasks benefit from improved performance and more reliable cancellation.

Grove integration

A new worktree, ready for work.

Already using Grove? Arborist honors your project’s groverc when creating worktrees, applying your branch prefix and running your bootstrap commands to get the new checkout ready.

Open the configuration from Arborist and edit it in your own tools. Arborist watches for changes as you make them, so your setup stays in step with the project.

Agent-era workflow

Your Codex & Claude Code chats, where they happened.

Arborist remembers which conversations belong to which worktree. Review each tree's chat history and jump back into a previous conversation with a single click. Conversation discovery happens locally, using files already on your Mac. Open Claude Code chats in your preferred terminal, including iTerm2 or Ghostty.
