Ahoy, captains 👋 I'm Tin Nguyen, a pirate at The Black Flagger You give Claude Code or Codex a real task and walk away. Two things go wrong. Your Mac falls asleep, and your agent stops with it. Or it finishes in two minutes — and you find out at lunch. Worse, it got stuck on a small question after 30 seconds and waited for you the whole time. BlackFlare closes both gaps. It's a small app that lives in your menu bar. 🔥 Your Mac stays awake while a session runs, and sleeps again when it's done. Long refactors finish while you're gone. 🔔 It pings you the second the agent finishes or gets stuck. On your Mac, or on Telegram or Slack so you can leave the desk and actually touch some grass. Works with Claude Code and Codex CLI in the terminal, VS Code, and JetBrains. You can tell it to stay quiet while you're sitting right there. ⚙️ Change your default configs from the menu. Model, permission mode, effort — one click, no flags to remember, no editing JSON by hand. It edits your config files carefully, backs them up first, and never reformats anything. 📊 See how much usage you have left on your plan, right in the menu bar, with a warning before you run low. No account. No tracking. Nothing leaves your Mac. To show your real usage it reads your Claude token from the Keychain — read-only, and only if you turn it on. That token goes to Anthropic and nowhere else. Works on macOS 13 or later, on both Intel and Apple silicon. I'm here all day — tell me what your agents get up to while you're not watching. 🏴‍☠️

The problem this solves is real — I have lost track of how many times I gave Claude Code a task, wandered off, and came back to find it had finished twenty minutes ago and was just sitting there. The notification routing to Telegram is the part I would actually use most. The thing I want to know upfront is how it distinguishes a session that is truly finished from one that is paused mid-task waiting on input — whether that is coming from parsing terminal output or from the agent explicitly reporting a terminal state, since those two behave very differently when something goes sideways halfway through.
