Claude Code tells you a lot, but only when you ask: `/context` for the window, `/cost` for the bill, a warning when you are already close to the limit. **Spark HUD keeps all of it on screen, live**, in two compact lines that stay out of your way. Click one button and it opens into a full dashboard.
It is built for people who run long sessions on a **Max subscription** and work with **many agents and windows at once**.
Why you'll want it
| Without Spark HUD | With Spark HUD |
|---|---|
| You find out the context is full when autocompact kicks in | A live bar shows how full the context is, and where autocompact will trigger |
| "Am I going to hit my 5-hour limit?" is a guess | A pace forecast compares your usage with the time left and warns you before the window runs out |
| Subagents are a black box until they report back | Each agent's current action shows live, and one click opens its full transcript |
| Checking your other Claude windows means alt-tabbing through them | Every open Claude Code window shows its project, model, context fill and current action in one list |
