Never miss a Claude Code session waiting on permission
A native macOS floating panel that shows all your Claude Code sessions grouped by project: what each one is working on, a yellow pulse when one is waiting for your permission, and PR status when idle. Swift/AppKit, zero dependencies, never steals focus. MIT.
Hi Product Hunt! Maker here.
I built ccglance to scratch my own itch. When you run several Claude Code sessions in parallel, the failure mode is silent: a session hits a permission prompt and just sits there while you're looking at another window. I kept alt-tabbing through terminals only to find a session that had been waiting on a "can I run this command?" prompt for ten minutes.
ccglance is a small always-on-top floating panel for macOS that shows every running session grouped by project:
- What each session is working on, with elapsed time
- A yellow pulse the moment one is waiting for your permission
- Subagents indented under their parent session
- For idle sessions, the CI/review status of the branch's pull request
- Clicking the panel never steals focus from the app you're working in, so it's safe to park in a corner of a second display
How it works is deliberately boring: Claude Code has lifecycle hooks (SessionStart, PreToolUse, Stop, ...). A dependency-free Node script receives those events on stdin and writes one JSON file per session to ~/.claude/ccglance/sessions/. The app polls that directory every 0.5 seconds and renders. No server, no IPC — if either side dies, the other doesn't care, and you can debug the whole pipeline with cat.
Some choices I'm happy with:
- Native Swift/AppKit, no Electron. It's an always-running utility, so CPU and memory footprint mattered. There isn't even an Xcode project — the build is a shell script calling swiftc directly, with zero external packages on both the Swift and Node sides.
- The panel is a non-activating NSPanel. You can click it all day and your editor keeps focus.
- Releases are Developer ID signed and notarized, so Gatekeeper runs it without warnings. Install with "brew install --cask hatoya/tap/ccglance" or grab the zip from GitHub.
One more thing worth mentioning: ccglance itself was built almost entirely with Claude Code — the Swift app, the hook scripts, the README, even the demo GIF. Dogfooding all the way down: I watched ccglance sessions build ccglance in ccglance.
It's free, MIT licensed, macOS 12+ (Apple Silicon prebuilt; Intel builds from source). I'd love feedback — especially from people running bigger parallel-session setups than mine, and on what states you'd want surfaced next.
