Conan launches macOS HUD for Claude Code
Conan is a native macOS HUD that wraps Anthropic's Claude Code CLI to provide real-time visibility into prompts, tool calls, and token usage locally without telemetry. Developed by Randy Daniel, the application runs entirely locally on macOS 13+ and offers a one-time $29 purchase for lifetime updates.
Claude Code is an amazing terminal tool, but its agentic "heads-down" nature makes it a black box during long tasks; Conan is a brilliant, local-first utility that makes AI agent operations transparent and inspectable without sacrificing privacy.
* Solves CLI visibility issues: Surfaces Claude's tool calls, prompts, and tokens in a beautifully designed HUD in real-time, eliminating the need to guess what the agent is working on.
* Privacy-preserving architecture: Runs entirely locally on macOS by reading the local Claude CLI data directly, meaning no code, keys, or prompts are sent to external servers.
* Deep integration: Retains complete compatibility with existing configurations such as CLAUDE.md, skills, custom slash commands, and Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers.
* Premium licensing model: Offers a clean $29 one-time payment structure, avoiding the fatigue of subscription-based pricing.
