A floating macOS companion for Claude Code that shows real-time agent status without babysitting the terminal.
CC-BEEPER is an open-source macOS companion widget for Claude Code, written in Swift and licensed under GPL-3.0. It surfaces real-time agent status as a small floating window with pixel-art animations, so you can keep working in other apps without watching a terminal for completion, errors, or permission prompts.
The widget tracks eight states (such as SNOOZING, WORKING, DONE, ERROR, ALLOW, and INPUT) and exposes four auto-accept presets from Strict to YOLO, plus global hotkeys for approve, deny, recording, and focus-terminal actions. Voice dictation is handled on-device via WhisperKit across 99 languages, and read-aloud uses Kokoro voices with an Apple Speech fallback.
Everything runs locally over 127.0.0.1 with no telemetry, accounts, or API keys, and the project is explicitly independent of Anthropic. It works with common terminal hosts (Terminal.app, iTerm2, Warp, Alacritty, Kitty, WezTerm) and is useful for developers running long Claude Code sessions who want ambient status without polling a buried window.
