Hawky

Hawky keeps watch over Claude Code from the macOS menu bar.

Run Claude Code in several repositories at once, one Cursor or VS Code window each, and sooner or later one of them stops to ask whether it may run something. It then waits silently while you are looking at another window.

When a session is waiting for permission, a count appears next to the hawk in the menu bar. Each waiting session is a row in the menu, named after the session's title and its folder. Pick one and Hawky brings that window, and that tab, to the front — also when the window is tucked behind others as a macOS tab. Ctrl+Option+H jumps to the session that has waited longest.

Hawky also shows how many sessions are working, and lists the ones that have finished and are waiting for your next prompt. A wait clears itself as soon as you approve, deny or type a new prompt.

It works with Claude Code in Cursor and VS Code, through Claude Code's own hooks. The hooks call Hawky itself, so nothing else needs to be installed. Connecting backs up your settings.json first and leaves your other hooks as they are.
