A Mac panel for tracking Claude Code sessions in Terminal, iTerm2, and Ghostty, with quick navigation to the tab that needs attention.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-30 issue.

For: Mac users running Claude Code across terminal tabs
Worth noticing: The page says tab switching works inside tmux and that the app types into the terminal only when you ask it to.

Field notes

The panel distinguishes Working, Needs you, In the background, and Resting, and can raise a tab awaiting permission. The page says one click can bring a Terminal, iTerm2, or Ghostty tab forward, including through tmux; Pro is described as restoring open conversations after a reboot. Its performance figures—including 1–2% of one CPU core with 25 Claude tabs on an M1 MacBook Air—are measurements reported by the developer, not independently verified here.
