Yes, episko can run scripts your project already ships, like package.json scripts, a justfile, VS Code tasks, or a Makefile. A run's exit code becomes its status.

It monitors your 5-hour and weekly limits, reads the current pace, and warns you by changing the footer from amber to red before you hit a wall.

episko — Manage Claude Code agents on macOS & Windows

episko is a session manager for Claude Code, available for macOS and Windows. It gives every Claude Code session its own terminal and gathers them into a single view, so you can watch what each agent is doing and quickly switch between them. It's built on Tauri and Claude Code, and is free and open source under the MIT licence.

Instead of juggling many terminal windows and logs, episko shows every agent in one calm place. Each session is color-coded by status: amber for busy, green for done and waiting on you, pink for needing a decision. You can see live model, context, cost, and the exact tool currently running, plus a history of touched files and tools.

episko is for developers who run multiple Claude Code sessions at once, across repos, worktrees, and branches. It also helps you manage usage limits, run project scripts, and keep a local history of spend and tokens.
