What is Myrlin Workbook?
Myrlin Workbook is a local Node.js application that reads session data from Claude Code (/.claude/projects) and ChatGPT Codex (/.codex, including its SQLite database) and presents them in a unified browser-based interface. It provides real terminal access via xterm.js and node-pty with full scrollback through agent transcripts, cost tracking parsed from Claude's usage fields, a kanban board with git worktree integration, project documentation panels, conflict detection between sessions, port monitoring, and a responsive phone layout with five tabs. It runs via npx with no global installation, binds to localhost by default, and can be exposed to LAN or via Cloudflare tunnels. The project is licensed under AGPL-3.0 with no hosted version or paid tiers.
