What is Claude Code Mascot?
Claude Code Mascot is a free and open-source desktop companion application designed for macOS users working with Claude Code. It functions as a real-time overlay that monitors your Claude Code sessions, providing visual feedback and interaction prompts directly on your screen. The core purpose is to enhance the coding experience by keeping users informed about Claude's activity, such as permission requests or task progress, without the need to switch away from their primary coding environment.
The application aims to streamline the workflow associated with AI-assisted coding by offering immediate notifications and quick actions. It runs entirely locally on your machine, ensuring privacy and eliminating the need for server configurations or API keys. The mascot serves as a visual indicator of Claude's state, animating to reflect idle periods, active work, or when user input is required.
