Clyde is a tiny SwiftUI menu bar app that watches every [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) session running on your Mac and shows you, in one glance, whether they're working, ready, or need your attention.

It connects to Claude Code's native hook events, so updates are **instant** — no polling, no lag, no missed permission requests.

Features

• 🟢 Real-time session tracking — busy / ready / needs-input, fed by Claude Code's native hooks. No polling.
• 🔔 Attention alerts — sound and macOS notification the moment Claude asks for permission. Never miss a prompt again.
• 🗂 Multi-session view — every Claude session, every terminal, in one expandable panel. Drag to reorder, name them, click to focus the matching window.
• 📜 Activity timeline — recent prompts, permissions and session lifecycle, in plain language.
• 📅 Session review — where the day went: a calendar of how long Claude worked, split into thinking and tool time, with per-project totals and the longest wait on each side. History is kept on your Mac, indefinitely, and Settings shows what it costs and clears it in one click.
• 🎯 Menu bar capsule — dominant state at a glance, with two ticks for the other states.
• 💤 Snooze — 15 / 30 / 60 / 120 minute mute when you need quiet.
• ⌨️ Global hotkey — ⌃⌘C to expand from anywhere.
• 🛠 Self-installs the hook — Clyde
