Nice. I think there will be a cottage industry of porting every Mac menu bar utility to Claude. I can't use this until it doesn't show seconds. A MM:SS timer is tolerable when it's in my menu bar, but a ticking timer right where my focus is during a work session would be very distracting to me.
The best version of this, for me, would be one that leans into Claude's ability to customize its own statusbar. If Claudoro is in charge of writing timer data to somewhere Claude can see it, I can tell Claude exactly how to display the timer in the statusline.

#32Opus is so slow these days what I really want is a bell sound to ring when it's done. I kick off some task and then it takes 3-12 minutes to complete. It's wrong, so I tell it to revert and try again with slightly different instructions.
Have you tried analysing all your prompts, and then telling it to "figure out" what custom skills might improve your prompts? I do actually have another project I'm working on that does this... it's been super useful for seeing how I prompt, what Skills I use and getting them to evolve and improve (I know Hermes does some of this, but it's been interesting rolling my own - will release soon!!)
I have a pretty specific workflow, I deal with live systems a lot (primarily in staging but occasionally prod) and have a really neat skill that has hooks into all the various things and then writes (&& checks in git) an investigation doc (.md) using a template into a git knowledgebase by month/quarter. That knowledgebase is really useful for frontloading the context of my new sessions as a lot of my work is iterative on previous work. It is really good at 80% of tasks, but simple stuff like using sops or modifying subcharts in helm it really struggles with. I do a lot of integration work between monorepos and Opus 4.7/4.8 really struggle with that kind of work. Opus is so bad at sops work I just outsource that to Codex/GPT5.5 now because the failure rate is so high.
The other high failure rate things is opus correctly predicting where endpoints will end up (stacked endpoints), when you have an ingress with a main monorepo but it's endpoints are the outputs (not just json regurgitated/passed forward).
I figured by having the clanker write it's own documentation about what it did, and then the next time saying "go look at invest doc 2026-06-29-TICKT_1234.md, do that again, but here's what we're doing differently and why..." and it would immediately grep the situation, but it doesn't. As alluded to earlier I've been exploring other models since the corporate blessed one is struggling to keep up.
Curious to see what you release.

As long as those native (Objective-C / Swift) menu bar apps are ported as native (Go, Rust, Zig, etc.) binaries for Agent CLI(s) like Claude Code or Codex CLI to use, instead of JavaScript, as this project is written, then the broader community of Agent CLI users will be fine. Otherwise, it will be another nightmare induced by JavaScript.

#34Earlier quoted context omitted.
I ended up building a vs-code/IDE style workflow for claude that has a "file browser" of CC sessions in the left column, sorted by repo, and then terminal in the right column, and then I've been tacking features like this onto it
Fantastic! You should open source it
Here you go. The green bar is the claude code 5 min cache expiry countdown timer (anthropic charges a fraction of cached context, I forget something like 10 or 30% of the normal price, but the cache is only 5 min for most users, 1 hr for enterprise/premium)
https://github.com/Hadlock/cscope/
It's not amazing code but it's tooling that works for me.

#35Also for tmux (which I always run claude inside) https://github.com/olimorris/tmux-pomodoro-plus
That is what I hoped for. Claude as a shell? I think you spent more time in tmux than Claude, right?

Wooo that's so cool... it seems to be private?

#37This is pretty funny. One thing that I like about the pomodoro method is the ticking of a timer though. On the other hand maybe if it's quiet it won't bother other people.
