## When Baton is worth it for Claude Code

This page exists to answer one practical question: when does Baton actually improve a Claude Code workflow instead of just wrapping it?

- **Use it when you run multiple prompts at once** and want each thread in a clean worktree instead of juggling branches manually.
- **Use it when review matters** and you want to inspect diffs before pushing Claude Code output into a PR.
- **Use it when interruptions cost time** and you need to see which session is done, blocked, or waiting for input.

## The ultimate GUI for Claude Code

Built for developers who already like Claude Code, but want parallel sessions, cleaner git hygiene, and a faster review loop.

### Know when every Claude Code session needs you

Status badges on every workspace card — done, waiting for input, or errored. Glance at the sidebar instead of cycling through terminals. Claude Code has the best-supported notification flow.

### Every workspace is a separate branch

Each workspace is a real git worktree with its own branch. Claude Code sessions never interfere with each other — no stashing, switching, or conflicts. Push branches and open PRs directly from the app.

### From idea to isolated workspace in seconds

Describe what you want to build — Baton generates the branch name, title, and description. Launch Claude Code in Accept Edits, Plan, or any other mode. Open the dialog from anywhere with a global shortcut.

### Review every change before opening a PR

Monaco-powered diff viewer with split and unified modes. Roll back individual files, follow Claude Code's changes live, or compare against any branch.
