Claude Watch puts every Claude Code session in your menu bar, so you know without switching windows.
macOS 14 or later · Apple silicon and Intel · Free
Five states. One glance.
The mark in the bar is the whole interface. You learn it in a minute.
Idle
Nothing running. The mark sits still, in the bar's own colour.
Working
A turn is in progress. The mark turns, a quarter every couple of seconds.
Needs you
A permission prompt or a question is waiting. Orange, breathing, until you answer.
Done
A turn finished while you were elsewhere. It pulses orange, hard, until you look.
Failed
A turn ended on an error. Red, one spike broken, and it does not move.
Click it for the list.
Every session by chat name and folder, with its state. Click a row to jump to that exact tab or window, however many you have open.
