CmdManager is a Windows desktop application for people who run multiple Claude Code sessions in separate command-prompt windows at the same time. Instead of clicking between those windows to check what each one is doing, CmdManager sits in a single panel and shows you a live, color-accurate preview of whichever window you pick, complete with a red or teal border that tells you at a glance whether that session is still working or waiting for input. The app lets you send commands directly to any tracked window without switching focus to it. You type in CmdManager, it injects keystrokes into the target console silently, and the window gets the input as if you had typed it there yourself. A history of recently sent commands is available with the up and down arrow keys, and a clipboard fallback handles longer text. Unicode characters, including Turkish text, are preserved throughout. One feature aimed squarely at heavy Claude Code users is auto-resume. Claude Code occasionally stops because the account has hit a usage limit, displaying a message with the time the limit resets. CmdManager reads that message off the screen, waits until the reset time, and then sends a configurable resume command automatically. The feature includes several safeguards to avoid sending commands at the wrong moment: it checks that Claude Code is still in the window (not a bare shell), and backs off if you are actively using that window yourself. Other conveniences include one-click buttons to start a Claude Code session in a window, clone a command prompt in the same directory, or close all tracked windows at once. You can also pin favorite project directories with custom labels and reopen them later with a double-click. A global keyboard shortcut brings the app to the foreground from anywhere on the desktop. The app requires administrator rights to read other processes' screen buffers and working directories, but it makes no network connections and stores all its data locally in the standard Windows application-data folder. Source code is included for anyone who wants to review it before running an elevated binary. The project is MIT-licensed.
