About claude-status-bar

A tiny macOS menu bar app that shows Claude Code's live status: an animated Claude icon while it's thinking or running a tool, a yellow dot when it's awaiting your permission, and the elapsed time of the current turn. Lightweight, no window, no dock icon, no usage dashboards. Built so you can tab away during a long "thinking" stretch and still see, at a glance, whether Claude is working, waiting on you, or done. Install Homebrew (recommended) The one launch at the end matters: it wires up the Claude Code hooks automatically. After that it starts itself whenever Claude Code runs.
