Claude Owl 🦉

Stop editing JSON and MD files. Manage your Claude Code setup visually.

---

The Problem

Claude Code is powerful but configuration is painful:

• Hand-editing JSON for permissions rules? Error-prone.
• Managing MCP servers across projects? Copy-paste hell.
• Finding that one subagent you created? Good luck grep-ing through .claude/.
• You want to know any metrics about your Claude Code usage? You need to download yet another tool.

The Solution

Claude Owl gives you a visual interface for everything Claude Code configuration:

No more terminal commands. No more JSON typos. Just point, click, done.
