Four agents running. Which one is stuck?
You do not know. I never did either, and that is the entire reason Maika
exists.
She lives on top of your screen and reads your Claude Code sessions as
they happen, so the moment your tests go green, or a run dies quietly in a
window you closed an hour ago, she is the one who tells you. The rest of
the time she lies down and says nothing, which took a lot longer to build
than making her talk.
Every part of her is drawn in code. There is not one image file in the
app. Her outline is redrawn seven times a second so the ink never fully
settles, and that is why she looks hand-made instead of rendered.
She is free, she is open source, and she is one download away.
Go get her. If she earns a spot on your desk, star the repo so more people
find her.

Maika is a hand-drawn golden retriever who lives on your Mac and keeps an eye on your Claude Code sessions.
Today she is open source and free.
If you run more than one Claude Code session, you know the problem. You tab away and you lose the thread. Which one finished. Which one is stuck waiting on your answer. Which one is about to run out of room.
A dashboard does not fix that. Nobody keeps a dashboard open.
So I put the status on a dog.
→ She speaks up the moment a session finishes, stalls, or gets close to full
→ She stays quiet while you are already sitting at the terminal
→ Fifty levels of coats, breeds and outfits, all earned by shipping real work
→ None of her is stored as an image. Every frame is drawn in code while you watch
→ Nearby dogs visit each other over Bluetooth. No server, no accounts
→ No paid version, and there will not be one. Everything unlocks by using her
→ Nothing leaves your Mac. No account, no analytics, not even an email address
Needs macOS 13 or newer:

If something about her annoys you, open an issue. I read all of them.
If you run Claude Code all day, what is the one thing you would want her to tell you that she does not say yet?
