Description
Run Claude Code in four or five terminals and you end up flipping through tabs: which one is done, which one is stuck on a permission prompt waiting for you to hit Allow, which one errored ten minutes ago. Tendbar lives in the macOS menu bar and puts every session in one list, so the color tells you who is working, who is waiting and who failed.
Click a session to jump to its terminal tab or pane, or set a global shortcut (⌃⌥J, say) that goes straight to the session that has waited longest. It never reads OAuth tokens or the Keychain and never calls Anthropic's servers — usage comes from what Claude Code hands its status line, and the only network use is checking for updates.
Every session at a glance: Name, state and the start of Claude's last reply; a ring while working, amber when waiting, vermilion on error, sage green for an unread reply.
Notifications that matter: Banners when a session needs you, finishes or fails, each switchable, with Tendbar's own bird calls or an optional screen-edge glow.
Follow-ups: A reminder when a session has waited longer than you set (5 minutes by default) and a warning when a working session goes quiet for 15 minutes.
Answer without the terminal: Opt in and permission prompts show the full command or file with Allow and Deny in the panel, the notch pill and the banner.
Usage limits: Five-hour and weekly usage with a pace estimate, shown separately for each
Quiet during Focus: Add Tendbar's filter to a Focus and its sounds and glow stay off.
Requirements: macOS 26 or later, native Swift, MIT licensed.
