An open-source utility that tracks Claude Code and Codex sessions, reporting when they are busy, finished, or waiting for approval.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-02 issue.

Field notes

The application receives lifecycle events asynchronously, filters them to a stated metadata allowlist, and passes a single NDJSON record through a Unix domain socket to its daemon. The page identifies a pure, idempotent StateReducer as the source of session state and uses kqueue process watching only for discovery and death. It also specifies a compact hook—225 KB, without Foundation—and says configuration edits preserve the original byte structure rather than reserialising settings.json.
