HyperTeamsHyperTeams vs Claude Squad
Claude Squad is an open-source TUI that runs several agents in one terminal with tmux and git worktrees. HyperTeams runs the same agents on your computer, but follows you to your phone when you leave the terminal, runs on a schedule, and keeps several machines and people in one place.
Why HyperTeams over Claude Squad
The biggest difference is what happens after you leave the terminal. Claude Squad's screen lives inside the terminal, so checking progress or giving the next instruction means going back to it. HyperTeams System lets you check progress and add instructions from your phone, notifies you when a job is done, and starts work on its own at the times you set. When a second computer or a colleague shows up, HyperTeams Connect adds a machine list, policy, pre-approval, an audit trail and cost per person. HyperTeams neither drives nor replaces Claude Squad — both run the same Claude Code, so you can use them side by side.
It follows you when you leave the terminal
The screen is a TUI inside your terminal, so to see where things are or to reprompt, you go back to that terminal and attach to the session.
Install it on your phone's home screen like an app, check progress and add instructions. Your phone tells you when a job is done.
It starts on its own at a set time
A person creates and starts each session. There is no way to run it at the same time every day.
Pick a time on screen and it runs then, every day. A failure notifies you.
Colleagues can assign work
A single-user terminal tool with no accounts or roles. Handing work over means handing over the terminal.
Accounts and roles, policy per folder and command, pre-approval per item, and an audit trail of who approved what.
Several machines, one list
What you see stops at the sessions in that terminal on that computer.
Install a control room on each machine and Connect pools them into one list, including which machine is awake.

Claude Squad docsWhat the control room does, and what Connect does
HyperTeams is two products. Which of them answers each row above is exactly where the boundary sits.
HyperTeams System
Runs the work on your machine
A program you install with one command. It assigns work per folder, runs jobs in parallel, and keeps going after you close the window. While you work alone, this is all you need.
- Where it runs
- Several jobs at once
- How far along it is
- If you close the window
- At a set time
HyperTeams Connect
Makes it something others rely on, unattended
It starts paying the moment there is a second machine and a second person: pooling machines into one list, filtering work others assign through approval, keeping an audit trail of what happened, and splitting cost per person.
- Several machines in one place
- When someone else assigns work
- Retracing it later
- What it cost
When do you move up a rung?
- L1 · Observe
You watch several machines. The moment there is a second one.
- L2 · Share
The team sees what was asked for. The moment you start sharing one password.
- L3 · Delegate
Others assign work and see the results. This is where approval, policy, and audit earn their place.
Running both
You don't remove or migrate what you use today. Here is how to layer HyperTeams on top of it.
- 1
Keep Claude Squad
Nothing is removed. Keep the worktree-and-push loop in your terminal.
- 2
Install the control room with one command
Install it on the same computer and register the folders you work in. Both use the Claude Code signed in on that machine.
- 3
Split the work
Code work you sit with goes to Claude Squad; work you walk away from, or that runs on a schedule, goes to the control room. They sit side by side — HyperTeams does not drive Claude Squad.
Which one should you pick?
When to just use Claude Squad
When you want to stay in the terminal
One brew or script line to install, a few keys to create, attach to and kill sessions. No server, no account, no browser.
When branch and push is the whole loop
A worktree and branch per session, a diff tab to see what changed, one key to commit and push to GitHub. HyperTeams does not create worktrees for you.
When you run agents such as Aider or Gemini
Point it at a program and it runs other terminal agents such as Aider or Gemini CLI. HyperTeams drives Claude Code, ChatGPT Codex and Antigravity.
When HyperTeams is the answer
When you hand it over and walk away
HyperTeams SystemIt keeps running on your computer after you close the window; check progress and add instructions from your phone, and get a notification when it is done.
When not everyone lives in a terminal
HyperTeams SystemEach job is a card, with status, a summary of the answer and an unread marker in one list. Open results and edit them in place, with cost per job right beside them.
When a second computer appears
HyperTeams ConnectA control room on each machine, all of them in one list, including which machine is awake.
When you bring in a colleague
HyperTeams ConnectThis is where Connect starts: accounts and roles, policy and pre-approval, an audit trail, and cost per person and team with ceilings.
A layer, not a replacement
Put it on top of what you already run
One command to install. Nothing you use today gets removed or moved — you only add the command screen above it.

Common questions
Claude Squad is an open-source TUI that manages several terminal agents — Claude Code, Codex, Gemini, Aider — from one terminal window. Each agent gets its own tmux session and git worktree so they do not collide, and you review diffs and push branches from there.
If creating worktrees and pushing branches inside a terminal is the whole job, Claude Squad is enough and HyperTeams does not replace it. If you need to check in from your phone while away, run work on a schedule, and handle more machines and colleagues in one place, HyperTeams is the answer.
Work is split by registered folder. Create worktrees however you already do; HyperTeams keeps a change history of what changed and when.
With HyperTeams, yes — attach an address in the app to reach the control room from outside without touching your router or firewall, and install it on your phone like an app. Claude Squad lives inside a terminal, so you would need your own remote access into that terminal.
Yes. Both run the Claude Code signed in on your computer. The usage limit sits on the account, so they share it. HyperTeams shows what is left and what each job cost on one screen.
