Crew - A tiny crew of monsters for your Claude Code agents

Hey Product Hunt 👋 I'm a designer, and this year I basically live inside Claude Code — usually with four or five chats going at once. It works, but it's invisible. You sit there watching a spinner and you genuinely can't tell whether something is thinking, stuck waiting on you, or finished ten minutes ago. So I gave every one of them a body. Crew puts one little pixel monster along the bottom of your screen per Claude Code chat and subagent. It digs while it edits, scribbles while it writes, pants when a command is long, droops when something failed, and curls up and sleeps when you've stopped. Subagents walk behind their parent like a small family. When a chat needs your permission to run a command, its creature holds up the command with Allow and Deny — you approve it right there, without hunting for the window. It's the fastest peripheral read on "what are my agents doing" that I've managed to build. I stopped alt-tabbing to check. Some honest notes: ▪ macOS 13+, Apple Silicon and Intel. Needs Claude Code, and nothing else at all: no Homebrew, no command-line tools, no Terminal. Download, drag it in, click Connect and it wires up its own Claude Code hooks (keeping any you already have, with a backup). ▪ Nothing leaves your Mac. No accounts, no network calls, no telemetry. The whole thing runs off local marker files the Claude Code hooks drop in /tmp. ▪ It's free. All of it, today. There's a paid tier coming later for the extras, but nothing you can see right now gets taken away when it lands. ▪ It isn't notarised yet — I haven't paid Apple the $99 — so a browser download gets flagged and the first launch needs right-click → Open. If you'd rather skip that, the terminal one-liner on the site avoids it entirely (curl doesn't quarantine what it fetches). The SHA-256 is published next to the download. ▪ The six species are all original — drawn pixel by pixel in code, not sprites from anywhere else. Built solo in Swift, with Claude Code, over a few weeks of evenings. Happy to answer anything about the hooks, the pixel art, or how the physics ball works. What would you want your agents to look like?
