tmux-claude: Monitor Claude Code Instances Across Tmux Panes
What tmux-claude does
tmux-claude monitors Claude Code instances across tmux panes with three main features: a live status bar, an interactive dashboard, and an enhanced window chooser. It shows Claude instances' status, context window usage, model, token counts, and duration without leaving your current pane.
Key features
- Status bar — Always-visible summary showing counts like "CC 2 working 3 idle," refreshed every 5 seconds
- prefix + m — Opens an fzf picker to browse all windows with a live preview panel showing per-instance details including model, context percentage, directory, and token counts
- prefix + w — Standard tmux window chooser annotated with Claude status like "[CC: WORKING | opus-4-6 | ctx 20%]"
- Desktop notifications — Get notified when an instance finishes, with a snippet of the last response
- No API calls — Reads entirely from Claude Code's local session/conversation files
