Changelog

Newest first. Each entry says what you can now do that you could not before — and what was broken and is not any more.

Release entries are kept in English so that every version says exactly what shipped.

1.0 First public release — in preparation

Everything below is in the build. This entry is replaced with the release date and the exact verified Claude Code version range on launch day.

Seeing what is going on

  • A menu bar icon that summarises how many sessions need you, are working, and are done — without opening anything.
  • One row per live session, grouped by project window. A working row shows the tool step it is on right now; a finished row shows elapsed time, tokens, the model that session is on, and how much of its context window is gone.
  • Five states, kept honest: needs you, working, done, paused (you interrupted it), idle.
  • Background subagents are tracked per session, including the case where a subagent's permission prompt never reaches the terminal's hooks.
  • The desktop Claude app appears as its own group, detected without hooks.
  • A stats tab: weekly usage bars, a token heatmap, and totals for runs, approvals and tokens.

Getting back to it

  • Click a row to land in that session's terminal with the cursor in its input box — including the correct split pane inside a VS Code window, and across Spaces.
  • A breathing ring lights up the pane you landed on, in eight styles, configurable per status.
  • ⌃⌥⌘B toggles the panel; ⌃⌥⌘N jumps to the next session that most needs you, walking a jump order you can drag into whatever shape you want. Both are rebindable.
  • Toast notifications for "needs you" and "done" that dismiss themselves when you switch to that terminal yourself.

Making it yours

  • Light, dark or follow-system appearance, plus a second visual theme.
  • Interface in English or Chinese, switchable live.
  • Per-project emoji icons, hideable projects, grouping by project or by status, and a customisable status order.
  • A GUI installer that puts the app, the status hooks and the editor extension in place in one click — and takes all three back out again.

Everything before 1.0 was pre-release development and is not listed here.
