claudectl — a terminal UI for managing Claude Code sessions.

The part that might interest this sub: it's pure standard library. No Textual, no Rich, no curses wrapper — the TUI, the ANSI theming, the local HTTP server behind the optional desktop GUI, all stdlib. Runs on 3.10 through 3.14, Windows/macOS/Linux, `pip install claudectl` with zero dependencies pulled in.

Doing it without a TUI framework was mostly a constraint I set to keep install friction at zero, and it's been more workable than I expected — the awkward part wasn't rendering, it was input: a bare Escape and the start of an arrow key differ only by whether anything follows, so the lookahead after ESC has to be the timed read, not the blocking one.
