README
Crow's Nest
**See which Claude Code session is waiting on you.**
A native macOS **menu bar** app that shows every Claude Code session you have running — on this Mac and on a remote machine over SSH — most urgent first, so you can tell at a glance which one is stuck waiting on you. **Then click it:** the command that reopens that exact conversation in its own folder (`cd '' && claude --resume `) is on your clipboard. Paste it into a terminal on that machine and you're back in the session, with its full history, without hunting for the window or the session id.
The one thing it exists to tell you: **which session is sitting at an unanswered permission prompt right now.** When Claude asks "can I run this command?" inside a window you're not looking at, that session freezes and you have no idea until you happen to switch to it. Crow's Nest puts that in your menu bar — and when a session starts needing you, it jumps to the top.

Support posture — read this first
This is a personal tool, built for one setup and published as-is under MIT. It reads Claude Code's on-disk files, which are **undocumented** and can change in any Claude Code release — when they do, this breaks until someone fixes it.
**I fix what breaks for me.** Issues are open but may go unanswered; PRs are welcome but may sit. There is no roadmap and no release cadence. If that's not what you need, fork it — that's what the licence is for.
When it does break, it breaks *loudly*: the reason lands in **Settings → Diagnostics** and in `~/.crowsnest/last-poll.log`. Please include that in any issue. See [SUPPORT.md](SUPPORT.md).
