Built for the way worktrees actually get used.

Tools and commands run with your normal shell environment — treated exactly like they would be in your terminal, with full settings when you want control.

Create, delete & organize worktrees with a default location

Drag & drop repository and worktree importing

Command palette specialized to each repository

Customizable tool list — open any app in any worktree

Codex & Claude Code chat history, filed per worktree

Optionally close stale tool windows on switch

Full shell-environment control in settings

Customizable app icon

Agent-era workflow

Your Codex & Claude Code chats, where they happened.

Arborist remembers which conversations belong to which worktree. Review each tree's chat history and jump back into a previous conversation with a single click.

The pitch

Stop paying the context-switching tax.

A hotfix lands while you're mid-feature. The old answer: stash, switch, rebuild, and try to remember where you were — while editor, terminal, and agent windows from three tasks ago pile up. Arborist keeps every context separate, every command one click away, and every window accounted for.
