What you get

Know which Claude Code session needs you and pick up where you left off.

You can see what your Claude Code sessions are doing without checking every terminal tab. Tecta shows each session’s task, current activity, unanswered question, and next step. Menu bar counts tell you how many sessions need a response or have just finished, while permission notifications show the command an agent wants to run.

When you need to respond, you can jump directly to the session’s tab in iTerm2, Terminal, Ghostty, or tmux. After a break, you can review what changed since your last look instead of scrolling through transcripts. Completed sessions show files changed, test results, and commits. You also get warnings about risky commands and reminders when a session has been waiting a while.

You can copy today’s work as a Markdown standup note. You’ll need Claude Code installed and signed in; summaries use your own Claude command and send session excerpts to Anthropic.
