Mochi: A pixel-art companion for Claude Code on macOS

Hi Product Hunt — I'm Emma. Mochi is a pixel-art cat for Claude Code on macOS. She floats above the message box and shows whether each chat is working, needs your OK, ready, or blocked. When a chat asks for permission, her card has Allow and Deny so you can answer without switching windows.

It's a Claude Code plugin (pet-mod) plus two small Mac apps. Mochi's own code makes no network requests. She only reads and writes files in ~/.claude/mochi/ and Claude's own folders.

Limits: work in progress, macOS 13+, you build from source, and it isn't notarised yet. MIT licensed. I built it with Claude Code.

I'd love feedback on the approval card — it copies Claude's own permission dialog, and I'm not sure that's the right trade-off.
