- •Click cards to focus exact terminal tab with VS Code extension support
Weaknesses
- •Windows-only limits audience significantly
- •Desktop pet is novelty-adjacent despite clever implementation

Post Description
I got the idea from Codex. It has a little pet that reminds you when it finishes. I liked it. Claude Code on Windows did not have one, so I made the same kind of desktop pet for Claude Code, with one rule I set myself: no Electron, and no bundled runtime.
I use Claude Code in the terminal every day. I often miss the moment it finishes, or the moment it stops and waits for me to approve a command. The terminal does not remind you.
The pet watches my Claude Code sessions through the hooks, and shows one card for each session: thinking, waiting for you, or done. When a session needs you, it plays a soft sound. When Claude Code asks for permission, the card shows it in about one second for me, because the pet listens to the PermissionRequest hook instead of the built-in notification.
It is about 200KB installed, and it does not make any network request. It is Windows only for now.
I put the backstory, and the one problem I could not solve, in a comment below.

Agent Paperclip: A Desktop "Clippy" That Monitors Claude Code/Codex
It wires Claude Code hooks and a passive tailer for Codex session files into a tiny floating pet window that reports agent states (Thinking, Working, Waiting, Done, Error) and live context/token counts. The local status.json approach keeps data on your machine and the sticker packs give it actual charm, but it's a narrowly useful desktop companion — multi-session or dashboard support would make it materially more powerful.
