Apps & Terminal UI

How Apps routes Claude Code and Codex — pick a source, set models, preview, then activate.

Run anypick (or anypick tui). You land on Apps. That screen is the product: it answers one question for each coding tool —

What should Claude Code / Codex use right now?

Everything else (accounts, gateways, proxies) exists to feed that answer.

  Routes for Claude Code and Codex
 › Claude        grok/work · grok-code-fast-1       ● ready
   Codex         not connected                     ○ not set
 ──────────────────────────────────────────
 Claude uses grok/work
 model grok-code-fast-1 · enter to preview a different route
 enter change route a accounts g gateways p proxies d diagnose

Read it top to bottom:

Each row is an app — Claude Code or Codex. Gemini and Kiro are not here; they only switch their own login under Accounts.
The middle column is who powers it (account, gateway, …) and which model AnyPick set.
The status on the right is plain English: ready, native, not set, or attention.
The two lines under the dashed rule always say what enter will do before you press it.
The footer is the full keymap for this screen. If a key is not listed, it does nothing here.

What each status means

You see	Meaning	What to do
ready	AnyPick already routes this app	`enter` if you want a different source or model
native	The app’s own login works, but AnyPick is not managing the route yet	Optional — only press `enter` if you want AnyPick to take over
not set	No route yet	`enter` → connect app
attention	Something needs a fix (missing key, failed check, …)	`enter` or `d` diagnose

Build a route (the main flow)

You never edit config files by hand. Press enter on an app and walk four short screens. Nothing is written until the last confirmation.

1. Home — choose the app

Move with ↑ ↓ (or j k). Highlight Claude or Codex. Press enter.

Footer says connect app when the row is empty or only native.
Footer says change route when it is already ready.

2. Source — who should power it?

 anypick / apps / Claude / source

  Native accounts
 › Anthropic · work@example.com        current live login
   Anthropic · personal

  Gateways & proxies
   openrouter-work                     gateway · default model set
   grok/work                           account proxy

  Saved setups
   @work-stack                         preset
 ──────────────────────────────────────────
 Route Claude through grok/work
 account proxy · model routing is configured next
 enter choose route a accounts g gateways esc back

Three groups, in plain language:

Group	Pick this when…
Native accounts	You want Claude or Codex on its own provider login. AnyPick switches the live credential; the app keeps its own model picker.
Gateways & proxies	You want another provider, an API key endpoint, a multi-account pool, or the Proxy Hub. AnyPick will set models next.
Saved setups	You already saved a full recipe with `--save` / a preset (`@name`).

Only safe pairings appear. You will not see “Claude → random incompatible thing” — empty list means save an account (a) or add a gateway (g) first.

Native row → outcome is Switch …; other rows → Route … through ….

3. Models — only when needed

Skipped for native same-provider switches.

Otherwise:

 anypick / apps / Claude / models

 › default     grok-code-fast-1
   sonnet      (same as default)
   opus        (same as default)
   haiku       (same as default)
 ──────────────────────────────────────────
 …
 enter edit model · a preview route

Codex — one default model.
Claude — default plus optional sonnet / opus / haiku roles (for tools that call those names).

Edit a line with enter, type or pick a suggestion, then a (or the confirm key shown) to open the preview.

4. Preview — read, then activate

 anypick / apps / Claude / preview

 Activate this route for Claude?

 · bind Claude → grok/work
 · set model grok-code-fast-1
 · start local proxy if needed
 · write client config

 enter activate route   esc back

This is the same plan the CLI would run. If a step fails later, AnyPick rolls back what it already changed. Press enter to apply, esc to go back and change source or models.

After a successful activate you return to Apps with ● ready and the new source · model on the row.

A concrete example

Goal: Claude Code should use your Grok work login.

Log in with Grok’s tool once (AnyPick never signs in for you).
In AnyPick: a → Accounts → save that login as work (or anypick add account grok --current --name work).
Back on Apps, highlight Claude, enter.
Under Gateways & proxies, pick grok/work.
Set the default model if asked.
Read the preview → enter.

Claude is now routed. Open Claude Code as you usually do; AnyPick already wrote what it needs. Same path works for Codex, gateways like OpenRouter, pools, or a preset.

Keys on Apps

Key	Action
`enter`	Connect or change route (source → models → preview)
`a` / `tab`	Accounts
`g`	Gateways
`p`	Proxies
`d`	Diagnose
`t`	Tray runtime (start/stop, flip bare-command default)
`Shift+D`	Start or reuse the Tray, then close this UI
`h`	Help for this screen
`q`	Close the terminal UI (background Tray/proxies stay up)

Other boards (supporting cast)

tab cycles Apps → Accounts → Gateways → Proxy → Apps. esc on a secondary board returns to Apps.

Board	You use it to…
Accounts	Save, switch, refresh, import/export, delete logins
Gateways	Store endpoint + API key profiles; bind them to apps like a proxy
Proxy	Start/stop local translators, pools, Proxy Hub

Those boards never replace Apps for “what does Claude use?” — they stock the shelves that Apps picks from.

Accounts keys

Key	Action
`enter`	Switch, view active, or save current login
`v`	Details and usage
`a`	Add a login
`i` / `e`	Import / export
`r`	Refresh
`s`	Save a changed live login over its snapshot
`d`	Delete
`f`	Filter by provider

Gateways keys

Key	Action
`enter`	Manage which apps use this gateway
`m`	Edit default models
`e`	Edit endpoint
`a` / `d`	Add / delete
`f`	Filter by provider

Proxy keys

Key	Action
`enter`	Start, manage apps, or save an unsaved login
`m`	Manage apps, then edit models
`s` / `r`	Stop / restart
`d`	Disable auto-start
`l`	Logs
`p`	Multi-account pool on/off
`space`	Pause or enable a pool member
`f`	Failover guard on a pool

Status glyphs

Glyph	On Apps	Elsewhere
`●`	ready	live / using
`○`	not set / stopped	saved / stopped
`◐`	attention	changed (live login ≠ snapshot)
`×`	failed	failed / unavailable

With NO_COLOR=1 the shapes still carry meaning; plain terminals fall back to *, o, !, x.

Closing the UI

q — leave the terminal UI; Tray and proxies keep running.
Shift+D — start or reuse the Desktop Tray, then close the TUI.
t — runtime / tray: start/stop Tray, flip the bare-anypick default with f.

Same route building exists as commands (anypick use claude --with grok/work) for scripts; the UI is not a weaker mode. See Getting started for install and first save, and Proxies for pools and hub.
