Hey Product Hunt, I'm Sukhman, maker of Claude Watch.
I run several Claude Code sessions at once and kept losing time to the same loop: alt-tab to the terminal, see it's still working, alt-tab back. Or it had been sitting on a permission prompt for ten minutes and I had no idea.
Claude Watch puts one glyph in your menu bar. It turns while Claude works, breathes orange when it needs you, pulses when a turn is done, and goes red on failure. Click it to see every session and jump straight to the exact terminal tab or IDE window.
A few choices I care about: no network access, no account, no telemetry, MIT licensed. It merges into your existing Claude Code hooks (backed up first, one command to uninstall) and uses a file watcher instead of polling, so idle CPU is 0.0%.
It's Mac only (macOS 14+) and Claude Code only for now. What terminals, states, or setups am I missing?
Which Vercel product did you use? What new capability did it give your team, and how did that shape the product you launched?

I used Vercel to host and deploy the Claude Watch site (Next.js, Tailwind, Framer Motion). Every push to GitHub gets a preview deployment and merging ships to production, so I could iterate on the page, copy, and download flow in minutes with zero infrastructure work. I run each Supra Studios app's site the same way, so a new launch page is quick to stand up.
Claude Watch itself is a native Swift menu bar app with no server, so Vercel didn't shape its architecture. It shaped the launch: a fast, always-live site with a one-click DMG download and GitHub link, updated in step with each release. [If you add it: I also used Vercel Web Analytics to see which channels drive downloads.]
