- Mac developers using Claude Code or Codex
- Worth noticing
- The page says sessions can start in a terminal, Claude Desktop, or the ChatGPT app; its interactive demo is simulated.
Field notes
The page describes each session as a colleague whose posture reflects whether it is working, on break, or waiting for the user. It says a waiting session can prompt an office cat to sit beside it, and that terminal panes remain the actual Claude or Codex CLI. The walkthrough also lists sessions started from Claude Desktop or the ChatGPT app; the interactive demo is explicitly simulated.
