"Our entire company is using CodeLayer now. We're shipping one banger PR after the other. It is so f-ing good. Unbelievable dude."

– René Brandel, Founder @ Casco (YC X25)


  • Superhuman for Claude Code - Keyboard-first workflows designed for builders who value speed and control.

  • Advanced Context Engineering - Scale AI-first dev to your entire team, without devolving into a chaotic slop-fest.

  • M U L T I C L A U D E - Run Claude Code sessions in parallel. Worktrees? Done. Remote cloud workers? You got it.


"This has improved my productivity (and token consumption) by at least 50%. Taking a superhuman style approach just makes soo much sense. Also, its so freaking cool to look back at all the work you've done in a day."

– Tyler Brown, Founder @ Revlo.ai
