GLINT shows Claude Code status from the Mac menu bar
GLINT is a lightweight for people who run several Claude Code sessions during the day. It shows whether Claude Code is thinking, idle, or waiting for input. This reduces the need to keep switching back to terminal windows just to check whether a task is finished or blocked.
The main display appears near the Mac notch in a -style overlay. People who do not like the notch can use a draggable floating pill that stays over full-screen apps, or a Dock-side bar that uses spare screen space. GLINT also shows per-turn tokens, cost, and elapsed time, matching the kind of status information Claude Code already shows in the terminal.
The app is still early, but it now has 19 , which suggests the original personal problem may be real for other Claude Code users too.
