The missing IDE half for your terminal AI-agent workflow
Working with Claude Code or another terminal AI agent means constant context-switching: you can't easily review its diffs, dig through past sessions, or check git history without leaving for a full IDE. familiar fixes that with full-screen kitty overlays bringing IDE-grade diff review, live session browsing, and git log exploration into your terminal — so you stay in the AI-agent workflow with far less need for a separate IDE. Built for macOS for now, may expand if there's demand.
I run Claude Code in the terminal all day, and two things kept bugging me: reviewing what the agent just changed meant either git diff in a pager or alt-tabbing to an IDE, and my sessions were scattered across project folders.
So I built familiar — three full-screen kitty overlays, one hotkey each: review (an IDE-grade diff with line comments you can send straight back to the chat), session (every Claude Code session across all your projects, live status included), and log (git history with a branch graph, same diff engine).
Pure Python standard library, nothing to install, MIT licensed. macOS only for now — happy to answer questions and hear how others review agent-written diffs in the terminal!
Love this, exactly the kind of tooling I wish existed for my Claude Code sessions. One thing I'd love to see is the ability to pin a specific session and reopen it after restarting the terminal, since right now I lose my context every time I close kitty and have to dig it back up.
