I built Outerloop – manage your Macs as a Claude Code fleet from one dashboard

Outerloop is a dashboard tool that allows users to manage multiple Macs as a Claude Code fleet from a single interface, simplifying oversight and control of Claude Code instances across machines.

Background

- **Outerloop** is a new open-source dashboard for remotely controlling multiple Macs as a fleet managed by **Claude Code** — Anthropic's terminal-based AI agent that can read/write files and run shell commands. - **Why it matters**: Traditionally, managing a fleet of machines requires config-management tools like Ansible (Red Hat) or Puppet, which need hand-written YAML or DSL files. Outerloop lets you describe tasks in plain English and have the AI execute them across all connected Macs. - **Prior context**: "Agentic" infrastructure is an emerging paradigm where LLMs actively operate on systems (not just generate code). Outerloop follows this pattern: it gives Claude Code SSH-level access and loose supervision to do sysadmin work that previously demanded manual scripting or complex config languages.
