I started working on Claude Owl last week as a personal project to stop manually editing JSON files whenever I need to tweak Claude Code settings. Basically, it's an Electron app that gives you a visual interface for managing agents, skills, hooks, debug logs, and permissions rules instead of doing it all in your text editor.
At first it was just for me, but I figured why not throw it on GitHub and see what people think. It's MIT licensed and fully open source: https://github.com/antonbelev/claude-owl
## Current state
Pretty functional on macOS (Intel & Apple Silicon). I built out:
- Subagents manager (create/edit/delete with custom system prompts)
- Settings editor (environment variables, permissions rules, core config)
- Skills & plugins browser
- Debug logs viewer
- Hooks manager (read-only)
## Honest caveats
- Only tested on macOS – Windows/Linux support is on my radar but haven't touched it yet
- It's mostly "vibe-coded" – built to solve my own pain points. Code quality is decent but it's not enterprise-grade
- Still in beta, still iterating
## What I'm actually asking
- Would you find this tool useful too?
- What are your biggest pain points in configuration management for Claude Code?
- What features or ideas would you want me to add if you were to use Claude Owl?
Appreciate your feedback.
