Know how much context
you have left.
Context Aware watches your AI coding session and tells you when it crosses limits you set yourself. No waiting for a wall you cannot see coming.
Six things, done properly.
Tokens used, window size and the percentage, sitting in the menu bar and updating as the session runs.
Set up to ten at whatever counts matter to you. Each fires once, then stays quiet until the context drops and climbs back.
Tag a threshold WARN or CRITICAL so a nudge reads differently from a stop everything. CRITICAL can post a loud notification or block with a modal.
It watches every live Claude Code session on the machine and headlines the busiest. Nothing to point it at, nothing to configure.
No account, no telemetry, no network calls. It reads local session files and counts.
Opens at login, sits in the menu bar with no Dock icon, and says nothing until a threshold is crossed.
Three steps, then forget about it.
It lands in the menu bar and finds the Claude Code sessions already running on your Mac. There is nothing to point it at.
Add thresholds at the token counts you care about, each tagged WARN or CRITICAL. A fresh install seeds one at 180,000.
Cross one and macOS posts a notification. The menu bar keeps the number in view the whole time.
Your limits, not someone else's.
Every threshold is a number you picked and a severity you assigned. Drag the session forward to see what the app does as each one is crossed.
Two dialogs and a notification. That is the whole app.
Notify once when the active session's context crosses this many tokens.
