Conan is a native macOS app that wraps Claude Code in a live HUD — every prompt, tool call, skill, and token, surfaced as it happens.

Hey Product Hunt 👋 I'm Randy.
I use Claude Code all day, and I kept losing track of what it was actually doing. It'd go heads-down for two minutes firing tools and burning context, and the terminal showed me everything except what I cared about. Which tools did it just run? How full is the context window?
I ended up with a usage CLI in one tab, a cost tool in another, and a statusline I had to squint at. I didn't want three side-tools. I wanted one surface to glance at. A cockpit.
So I built Conan, a native macOS app that sits beside Claude Code and turns its live session into a HUD:
- a streaming timeline of every prompt, tool call, and skill as it fires - a context-window gauge you watch fill - a usage and cost pulse
It reads Claude Code's local data. No telemetry, nothing about your code or prompts ever leaves the machine.
It's free to use. A one-time $29 unlocks Premium, no subscription, lifetime 1.x updates. macOS-first today; Windows and Linux folks can grab the waitlist.
I'd love your honest feedback, especially from people who live in Claude Code. What would make this a daily driver for you?
The problem is real IMO, especially when managing multiple concurrent agents. But to extend your analogy: if a cockpit has too many flashing lights and live streams, the pilot still gets overwhelmed.
For me, the ultimate HUD wouldn't just stream the raw data—it would summarize it. I’d love a feature inspired by how Gemini handles meetings: if I'm deeply focused on another task for 5 minutes and glance back, give me a quick "catch up" summary of what the agent actually achieved over those 5 minutes.
Distilling the chaos into a quick TL;DR status report.

Cool tool, the most pain point for me is skill usage, I don't know which skill claude code actual choose in conversation unless I specify to model.

Congrats on putting this together.
