- Cards for what comes next, with Coxswain, an AI chat over the cards that refines them
- Claude usage and cost by project and branch
- Plan-limit wind-down, and restart after the limit resets
- Git worktree branch review
- A built-in MCP server Claude can use to drive Mooring
- Cox, the guide character inside the app

## Docs

- [Welcome to Mooring docs](https://mooring.sh/docs): Mooring is a free Mac app, the companion for working with Claude Code.
- [Getting started](https://mooring.sh/docs/getting-started): Install Mooring, finish the first-run steps, and open your first project.
- [Projects](https://mooring.sh/docs/concepts/projects): A project in Mooring is a folder on your Mac, listed under a root or added on its own.
- [Tabs & sessions](https://mooring.sh/docs/concepts/tabs-and-sessions): Every tab is a real terminal that keeps running in the background, so your sessions carry on after you quit Mooring.
- [Agents](https://mooring.sh/docs/concepts/agents): Mooring is built around Claude Code, and can also start any command you set up as an agent.
- [Status badges](https://mooring.sh/docs/concepts/status-badges): Mooring shows two different things on tabs and sidebar rows. Is a session running here, and does something need you?
- [Cox and first run](https://mooring.sh/docs/features/cox-and-first-run): Meet Cox, set up Mooring in the first-run window, and find your way around an empty main window.
- [Up Next](https://mooring.sh/docs/features/up-next): The pane beside your tabs where what comes next becomes cards, typed or dictated, moved through a workflow, and handed to Claude.
- [Coxswain](https://mooring.sh/docs/features/coxswain): Talk to Claude about your Up Next, run saved jobs over your cards, and refine a single card from its own window.
- [Worktrees](https://mooring.sh/docs/features/worktrees): Give a card its own git worktree and branch, mark what state the branch is in, review its changes, and let Mooring close the card when the branch merges.
- [Claude Code agents](https://mooring.sh/docs/features/agents-claude-code): How Claude Code runs inside Mooring, the built-in tools that let Claude work with Mooring itself, and how to restart a session.
- [Conversation window](https://mooring.sh/docs/features/conversation-window): Read the selected tab's Claude conversation, formatted, in a small window beside the terminal.
- [Claude usage and plan limits](https://mooring.sh/docs/features/claude-usage): See what your Claude sessions use, by project and worktree, and let Mooring wind sessions down before a plan limit and restart each session after the limit resets.
- [Session attach](https://mooring.sh/docs/features/session-attach): Mooring's sessions keep running in the background, so your shells and Claude sessions carry on after you quit, and Mooring reconnects each tab when you come back.
- [Keyboard shortcuts](https://mooring.sh/docs/reference/keyboard-shortcuts): Mooring's keyboard shortcuts, grouped by what each one acts on.
- [Settings](https://mooring.sh/docs/reference/settings): Every pane in Mooring's Settings window, in order.
- [Troubleshooting](https://mooring.sh/docs/troubleshooting): Fixes for common Mooring problems.
