OpusBar: a macOS menu bar cat that shows which Claude Code or Codex session needs you

[kushalBanda]

I built this. It is a separate macOS app. It is not tied to Orca.

When a fleet of agents runs in parallel, one can sit on an approval prompt in a window you are not looking at. OpusBar puts a pixel cat in the menu bar. It takes the state of the most urgent session: running, thinking, needs you, done, error or idle. A badge counts the sessions waiting.

• Claude Code and Codex sessions in any terminal, tmux pane or editor show up within 30 seconds, before you connect anything.
• 5-hour and weekly limits per account with reset times. Warnings at 80% and 95%.
• Usage over 24 hours to 90 days by agent, model and project, with an "API value" at list prices.
• Local only. The hook drops your prompts, code and replies before OpusBar sees the event.

Free, open source (Apache-2.0), macOS 14 or later. The menu screenshot uses sample data.

Which would you want in a menu bar for parallel agents: a session list, plan limits, or both?
