Hi HN! I run a few Claude Code sessions in parallel and kept cmd-tabbing around just to find out one of them had been sitting on a permission prompt for ten minutes. There's a hardware gadget I liked (called SidePulse.io) so before waiting to get my shipment I built the software version instead :D I hope you like it and find it useful as I do!

Looks neat, and I ordered the bundle from SidePulse.io as well. Thanks for the project and pointing this out.

Maybe consider adding a live screenshot. "Beside the macOS Dock" is vague. What happens when your dock is the entire length of your desktop?
