SpawnSweep 0.2.3

What's new

• Add SpawnSweep to Claude in one click. When Claude Code or the Claude app is on your Mac, the Sessions page offers Add to Claude. It adds a pane beside your Claude chat that lists what your agents left running, and a 🌔 with the count in Claude's footer that opens it. Not now hides the offer for good, and Connections › Claude Code pane turns it on or off any time.
• The Claude pane itself (plugin 0.1.2) opens with each Claude session and now lists your git worktrees too. If you added it before, claude plugin update spawnsweep@spawnsweep in Terminal gets the new version.

Install

The easiest way is Terminal, which installs with no macOS warning: curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/samirmaikap/spawnsweep/main/scripts/install.sh | bash

Or download SpawnSweep.zip, open it, and move SpawnSweep to Applications.

If macOS says "SpawnSweep" Not Opened

This build isn't notarized by Apple yet, so the first time you open a browser download macOS says Apple could not verify "SpawnSweep" is free of malware. It only happens once.

1. Click Done, not Move to Bin.
2. Open System Settings › Privacy & Security and scroll to the bottom. Next to the message about SpawnSweep, click Open Anyway, then confirm with your password or Touch ID. If you don't see the button, open SpawnSweep again, then come back.
3. SpawnSweep opens, and macOS won't ask again.

Or clear the download flag in Terminal: xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/SpawnSweep.app

Everything free works right away. A SpawnSweep Pro key (Settings › SpawnSweep Pro) unlocks cleaning and Autopilot's Ask first and Automatic modes. Requires macOS 14 or later on Apple silicon.

SpawnSweep 0.2.2

What's new

• Know when something starts. SpawnSweep now notifies you when an agent session starts, a simulator or emulator boots, or a git worktree appears. Each has its own switch in Settings › Notifications. Several starts of one kind arrive as one notification, and something has to stay up a few seconds before it's announced, so a quick one-off command doesn't ping you.
• See it from Claude. A new plugin for Claude Code and the Claude desktop app shows what's running in a pane beside your chat, with a running count under the prompt. Turn it on in Connections › Claude Code pane, or run /plugin install spawnsweep --marketplace samirmaikap/spawnsweep in Claude Code. Type /spawnsweep to open the pane.
• For scripts and tools: SpawnSweep --scan --json prints the sessions, everything running, booted simulators and git worktrees as JSON.

SpawnSweep 0.2.1

What's new

• A brighter look: the primary color is now emerald instead of muted sage. Buttons use dark labels so they stay easy to read, and links, checkmarks and the Active badge use a matching green tuned for light and dark mode.
• A touch of glass: cards are frosted, with a thin bright rim and a soft sheen over the clay. Turn on Reduce Transparency in macOS and every surface goes solid again.

SpawnSweep 0.2.0

What's new

• Space Lens (Pro): a map of your whole disk, as a list with checkboxes beside clustered moons. Tick what you don't need and move it to the Trash through a preview that warns about projects with unsaved work, app data and iCloud items. Needs Full Disk Access; Scan opens the switch in System Settings.
• Sessions: dev servers started by the Claude app's preview or the Codex app now show under their session, linked loosely so cleanups never stop them.
• Simulator folders show the device name, and the results dialog stays inside the window.
