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

by•
Crew gives every Claude Code chat and subagent a body: a little pixel monster that walks along the bottom of your screen, digs while it works, sleeps when it's idle, and waves when it's done. Free for macOS. Nothing ever leaves your Mac.

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?
