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.

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.
