Claude Canvas is a terminal-focused UI toolkit that extends Claude Code by giving it a dedicated visual interface within the terminal, allowing interactive panes for apps like email, calendar, flight bookings, and other structured interfaces directly alongside the coding agent session. Rather than limiting interactions to text prompts and responses, Claude-Canvas uses tools like tmux to spawn multiple split panes so that you can see persistent interfaces for tasks that benefit from visual context, making your CL-based AI coding workspace feel more like a rich interactive environment. It acts as a proof-of-concept that bridges traditional command-line AI interactions with more dynamic terminal user interfaces, enabling developers to craft more immersive and contextually rich workflows without leaving their development terminal.
