README

CC Companion

CC Companion Icon

A desktop companion app that monitors your Claude Code sessions in real time. Built with Electron.

CC Companion is a lightweight always-on-top window that sits at the top of your screen, tracking every Claude Code instance running on your machine — which project it's in, whether it's actively working or idle, CPU and memory usage, token consumption, conversation turns, and how long it's been in each state.
