README

wakeclaude

a tiny macos tui to schedule claude code prompts so your sessions can keep running even when you hit limits or go to sleep.

why i built it

i hit the 5 hour session rate limit on my claude plan a lot. work would stop mid‑flow, so i wanted a way to auto‑resume right when the limit resets.

now i can schedule a prompt to continue at the reset time, and i can also schedule prompts while i’m sleeping so the work keeps going. one thing i do weekly is run a security review on my codebases just before the weekly rate limit resets (while i’m asleep).

what it does

pick a project, pick a session (or start a new one)
write the prompt
choose a model + permission mode
schedule it (one‑time, daily, weekly)
wakes your mac only when needed and runs the prompt
keeps logs + shows a simple run history
sends a native macos notification on success/error

install (homebrew)

brew install --cask rittikbasu/wakeclaude/wakeclaude

to update later:

brew update
brew upgrade --cask wakeclaude

quickstart

build it:
```
go build -o wakeclaude ./cmd/wakeclaude
```
run it:
```
./wakeclaude
```

setup token (required)

wakeclaude uses a long‑lived claude code token so scheduled prompts keep working even after you close the terminal.

generate one in a separate terminal:

claude setup-token

paste it into wakeclaude when prompted. it stores the token in your **macos keychain** (not in files).

how it works (macos)

uses launchd (launchdaemons) to run on schedule
uses pmset schedule wakeorpoweron to wake the mac only when needed
you’ll be prompted for sudo when creating/editing/deleting schedules
the job runs as root, then uses launchctl asuser to run claude in your user session

important: if you are fully logged out, `claude` may not be able to access your keychain session. runni
