I wanted a terminal app built specifically for Claude code instead of merely running it. MOTHER treats Claude sessions as first-class citizens — launching them, resuming them, and telling you when they need you.

The menu bar alert is the whole product and it's third in your own sentence. Launching and resuming are conveniences, the thing that actually costs me is walking away while Claude works and coming back twenty minutes after it stopped on a permission prompt. I'd rewrite the tagline around that and let the launcher be a bullet underneath. At $9.99 you don't need a feature list, you need one sentence someone recognises from their own week.

Bro this menu-bar alert thing is exactly what I needed 😂 I've lost count of how many times I've made coffee, come back, and Claude is just sitting there waiting for a yes/no like a lost puppy
$9.99 is honestly a steal for the headache this saves. One thing though — if I quit the app completely and reopen it later, does the session pick up from where it left off? Or do I need to keep it running in the background?

the alert only helps if i trust it, one false 'needs you' and i tune it out. how does it tell a real permission stop from claude just still thinking?

shipped my entire product from claude code so this one hits home. question from my actual week: I usually run two or three sessions in parallel and the pain is knowing which one is waiting on me. does the menu bar alert say which session needs you or is it one generic ping?
