What it does

Six things, done properly.

A live readout, not a guess

Tokens used, window size and the percentage, sitting in the menu bar and updating as the session runs.

Thresholds you choose

Set up to ten at whatever counts matter to you. Each fires once, then stays quiet until the context drops and climbs back.

Two severities

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.

Finds your sessions itself

It watches every live Claude Code session on the machine and headlines the busiest. Nothing to point it at, nothing to configure.

Nothing leaves your Mac

No account, no telemetry, no network calls. It reads local session files and counts.

Out of the way

Opens at login, sits in the menu bar with no Dock icon, and says nothing until a threshold is crossed.

How it works

Three steps, then forget about it.

01
Open it once

It lands in the menu bar and finds the Claude Code sessions already running on your Mac. There is nothing to point it at.

02
Set your limits

Add thresholds at the token counts you care about, each tagged WARN or CRITICAL. A fresh install seeds one at 180,000.

03
Get told

Cross one and macOS posts a notification. The menu bar keeps the number in view the whole time.

Alerts

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.

0 0 of 3 crossed 1,000,000
120,000 / 1,000,000 12%
WARN 150,000 fired
CRITICAL 400,000 fired
CRITICAL 800,000 fired
Every surface

Two dialogs and a notification. That is the whole app.

Add alert

Notify once when the active session's context crosses this many tokens.
