macOS Menu Bar App Tracks Claude Code Session Status
Claude Watch is a free, open-source macOS menu bar utility that shows whether a Claude Code session is working, waiting for input, done, or failed. It addresses the friction of manually checking on long-running coding agent sessions.

Similar Problems
surfaced semanticallyLack of Native Claude Usage Tracking in macOS Menu Bar
Product launch for a macOS app that surfaces Claude Pro/Max usage limits in a menu bar dashboard. Implies a gap in Claude's native usage visibility but is framed as a solution, not a problem.
No native way to track Claude usage limits from macOS menu bar
Claude users on Mac lack a built-in way to monitor live usage (5-hour, 7-day, credits) without opening the app or browser. A third-party notch widget fills this gap by surfacing usage and reset timers passively.
No Ambient Awareness When AI Coding Agents Are Running
Developers running Claude Code or Codex agents must actively watch terminal output to know what the agent is doing, breaking their focus. An audio-based monitoring layer would allow passive awareness of agent status without interrupting the developer's primary work.
Developers Lack Visibility Into Claude Code Session Cost and Cache Usage
Developers using Claude Code have no built-in way to see what their coding-agent sessions actually cost, including cache usage and session replay detail. This creates blind spots for teams trying to manage AI tooling spend as usage scales. The high engagement on this tracking tool suggests real demand for built-in cost observability in AI coding agents.
Lack of Visibility into AI Coding Tool Usage Limits Before They Interrupt Work
Developers using multiple AI coding assistants (Claude, Codex, Antigravity) have no easy way to see remaining usage allowance and reset times, causing unexpected interruptions mid-task. This affects developers who rely on several AI tools simultaneously and need to plan work around rate limits.
