Features

Real-time status indicator — A small indicator in your menu bar shows the aggregate state across all sessions: active, waiting for input, compacting context, or idle. Choose between emoji indicators or minimal colored dots.
One-click session focusing — Click a session in the dropdown or a desktop widget to focus its exact window, tab, or pane. Works with VS Code, Zed, Xcode, JetBrains IDEs (IntelliJ IDEA, PyCharm, WebStorm, GoLand, CLion, RubyMine, Rider, PhpStorm, DataGrip, DataSpell), iTerm2 (with tab and window-specific AppleScript focusing), Terminal, Warp, Alacritty, Kitty, WezTerm, Ghostty, and tmux (automatic window and pane selection with any supported terminal).
Usage analytics — Tracks time spent in each session state and session concurrency throughout the day. See your daily usage summary and concurrency counts in the menu bar dropdown and desktop widgets.
