Glint Surfaces Real-Time Claude Code Activity
Glint is a lightweight macOS menu-bar application that reads local ~/.claude session files to display real-time Claude Code status and resource usage metrics. Operating entirely on-device to prioritize privacy, it visualizes active tools, token consumption, subagent status, and the remaining context window near the screen notch, as a floating pill, or next to the Dock.
A clever utility that solves the visibility issues of terminal-based AI agents, providing developers with glanceable feedback on token consumption and active tools without compromising security.
* Local-First Security: Reads the ~/.claude directory directly, ensuring session data never leaves the user's local machine.
* Financial Safeguard: Real-time token and usage monitoring helps developers avoid unexpected API costs from runaway loops.
* Flexible HUD Options: Multiple visual placements like a notch island, floating pill, or dock-side widget cater to different workspace setups.
* Multi-Agent Future: Roadmap plans for Codex and Kiro can position it as the go-to dashboard for local AI developer agents.
