SnapBack

Attention manager for AI coding CLIs
Works with Claude Code and Codex CLI. Pauses your media, focuses your IDE, locks your phone, snaps you back when done.

The Problem

You're watching YouTube while Claude Code works. Claude finishes and asks a question, but you're not paying attention. Minutes pass. Productivity lost.

The Solution

**SnapBack** plugs into your AI coding CLI and:

  1. Pauses your browser media (YouTube, etc.)
  2. Plays a notification sound
  3. Focuses your IDE and terminal
  4. Locks your phone if you're doomscrolling (optional, Android)
  5. Returns you to your video when you respond

No more missed prompts. No more context switching friction.


Quick Start

Prerequisites

  • macOS 12+
  • One or more supported AI CLIs:
  • jqbrew install jq (only needed for Claude Code hook installation)
