AgentDeck, a keypad for Claude Code — Small-Batch, Hand-Built in Mountain View

Run every Claude Code session from one keypad

Stop hunting through tabs and reaching for the mouse.

Sessions always in view

Six keys, one per terminal. Tap to jump to a session, and PG rotates through more pages when you have more than six open.

See status at a glance

Each key's light matches its terminal: pulsing violet while your session is thinking, solid green when it's done, and flashing red when it needs your input.

Answer without the mouse

Up, Down, Enter and Esc handle your session's prompts. One key clears the line.

Talk to Claude

One key starts dictation, so you can speak your prompt.

Who's building this

Hi, I'm Kelly. I built this to keep Claude working on the next task instead of waiting on me to find the right tab. I'm making the first 40 by hand at my workbench in Mountain View and testing each one myself. I'm a one-person shop, so when you email me, I answer, usually within a day.

What founders get

The first 40 get more than a keypad. Later orders won't include these.

Numbered unit

Your serial number, e.g. "Unit #07 of 40", on the device and in the build log.

Free setup help

Reply to your shipping email and I'll get you running, by email or a short video call.

A say in the future

Founders vote on colors, details and new features as the keypad develops.

1-year "I'll fix it" warranty. If your AgentDeck stops working because of a defect, email me within a year of delivery and I'll repair or replace it, free. In the first 30 days, if I can't fix it, you get a full refund. Not covered: damage you cause, such as dropping it, getting it wet, opening the case or modifying it.

Questions

Anything not answered here, email me. I read every message.

Which apps and systems does it work with?

macOS, in iTerm2 or Terminal, with Claude Code. It's standard USB-C and QMK, but the shortcuts are set up for Mac, so Windows and Linux aren't supported.

When will it arrive?

The first 40 orders arrive in time for Christmas, so order by Nov 28. Pickup is Dec 6 (12-6pm) or Dec 7 (6-9pm); shipped units go out by USPS Priority Mail.

Do orders ever close?

No. After the first 40 (or Nov 28), orders stay open at the regular price and ship in the new year. I'll email you an estimated date.

What if something breaks?

Please email me and I'll make it right. The warranty above covers anything that stops working because of how it was built. Accidental damage falls outside the warranty.

Less idling. More shipping.
