# CTally
|
|
21
|
+
|
|
22
|
+
A floating status light for your Claude Code sessions on **macOS and Ubuntu**: **whose turn is it?**
|
|
23
|
+
Glance over instead of tabbing back to the terminal.
|
|
24
|
+
|
|
25
|
+
```sh
|
|
26
|
+
pipx install git+https://github.com/JinyuJinyuJinyu/ctally.git
|
|
27
|
+
ctally setup --tmux
|
|
28
|
+
```
|
|
29
|
+
|
|
30
|
+
The name comes from the *tally light*, the lamp on a broadcast camera that shows it's live, and from tallying
|
|
31
|
+
up your sessions.
|
|
32
|
+
|
|
33
|
+

|
|
34
|
+
|
|
35
|
+
Every session gets a hexagon whose glyph and color say what it's doing:
|
|
36
|
+
|
|
37
|
+
| | State | Meaning |
|
|
38
|
+
|---|---|---|
|
|
39
|
+
| ▶ cyan | **working** | Claude's turn: it's working, or its subagents or a workflow still are |
|
|
40
|
+
| ⏸ amber | **waiting** | your turn: a permission prompt, or it's waiting for input |
|
|
41
|
+
| ✓ green | **done** | your turn: the turn finished, and it stays here until your next prompt |
|
|
42
|
+
| • slate | **idle** | nothing running |
|
|
43
|
+
|
|
44
|
+
## Features
|
|
45
|
+
|
|
46
|
+
- **Floats above everything** without ever taking keyboard focus; on macOS on every Space and beside
|
|
47
|
+
full-screen apps too.
|
|
48
|
+
- **One to three sessions show as big badges**; four or more become a compact list with each session's
|
|
49
|
+
name and directory, up to 16 rows. Session names come from `/rename`, or else the title Claude gave the session.
|
|
50
|
+
- **Sees subagents and workflows**: while a session's agents run, its row says how many and what they're up
|
|
51
|
+
to (`4 agents · Verify`), with a progress bar for a workflow, and its badge carries the count.
|
|
52
|
+
[More below.](#subagents-and-workflows)
|
|
53
|
+
- **Built for tmux**: every row shows its pane, a click switches to it, **prefix + J** jumps to the session
|
|
54
|
+
that needs you, and the counts can sit in tmux's status line. [More below.](#built-for-tmux)
|
|
55
|
+
- **Click a row to bring that session's terminal forward**: the exact tmux pane, and on macOS the exact
|
|
56
|
+
Terminal tab.
|
|
57
|
+
- **Fold the list** down to a bar of counts with the chevron.
|
|
58
|
+
- **When a turn finishes**, its row washes green and its mark bounces once; then everything holds still.
|
|
59
|
+
- **Menu bar (or top bar) icon** to show or hide CTally. Off stays off across restarts, and the app sits idle
|
|
60
|
+
with no timers.
|
|
61
|
+
- **Settings window** with an on/off switch and an opacity slider (80% by default).
|
|
62
|
+
- **Silent**: no sounds, no notifications, no Dock icon.
|
|
63
|
+
- **One Python package**, installed with pipx: the same Qt app on macOS and Linux, and a `ctally` command for
|
|
64
|
+
the terminal and tmux.
|
|
65
|
+
|
|
66
|
+

|
|
67
|
+
|
|
68
|
+
## Subagents and workflows
|
|
69
|
+
|
|
70
|
+
When a session hands work to subagents, or runs a whole workflow of them, CTally follows along:
|
|
71
|
+
|
|
72
|
+
- **The row grows a line about its agents**: how many are running, and what they're doing. For a workflow
|
|
73
|
+
that's the phase it has reached (`4 agents · Verify`), with a progress bar of its agents finished out of
|
|
74
|
+
those started so far (`12/16`; the total grows as each phase sets off more). For a single agent it's the
|
|
75
|
+
task it was given (`1 agent · Find callers of parseConfig`).
|
|
76
|
+
- **The badge carries the count** (`⚙ 4`) on its shoulder.
|
|
77
|
+
- **The session stays working until its agents are back.** A session that sends agents off in the background
|
|
78
|
+
finishes its own turn at once, and would otherwise look done for as long as they run, sometimes hours. CTally
|
|
79
|
+
keeps it cyan until they return and Claude has taken in their results, and prefix + J leaves it alone till
|
|
80
|
+
then.
|
|
81
|
+
|
|
82
|
+
`ctally list` shows the count too. This needs the subagent hooks that `ctally setup` adds; if you set up
|
|
83
|
+
CTally before they existed, run `ctally setup` again and restart your sessions.
|
|
84
|
+
|
|
85
|
+
## Built for tmux
|
|
86
|
+
|
|
87
|
+
Running a dozen Claude Code sessions across tmux sessions and split panes is exactly what CTally is for.
|
|
88
|
+
It knows where each one lives, because tmux leaves `TMUX` and `TMUX_PANE` in the environment of everything
|
|
89
|
+
started inside it.
|
|
90
|
+
|
|
91
|
+
- **Every row shows its pane.** `webapp:0.1` is tmux session `webapp`, window 0, pane 1, and it sits next to
|
|
92
|
+
the directory, so two sessions in the same folder are easy to tell apart.
|
|
93
|
+
- **Click a row** and tmux switches to that exact pane. Then the Terminal tab attached to that tmux session
|
|
94
|
+
comes forward, or a new Terminal window attaches to it if no tab shows it.
|
|
95
|
+
- **prefix + J jumps to the session that needs you**, without touching the mouse: waiting sessions first,
|
|
96
|
+
then finished ones, longest-waiting first. Press it again for the next one.
|
|
97
|
+
- **The counts sit in tmux's status line** (`!1 ▶2 ✓5`: waiting, working, done), and they change the moment a
|
|
98
|
+
session does.
|
|
99
|
+
|
|
100
|
+
Turn on the key and the status line with:
|
|
101
|
+
|
|
102
|
+
```sh
|
|
103
|
+
ctally setup --tmux
|
|
104
|
+
```
|
|
105
|
+
|
|
106
|
+
This adds a marked block to `~/.tmux.conf` and applies it to your running tmux at once. The file is backed
|
|
107
|
+
up first, and `ctally uninstall` takes the block out again. To set it up by hand instead:
|
|
108
|
+
|
|
109
|
+
```tmux
|
|
110
|
+
bind-key J run-shell -b "'$HOME/.local/bin/ctally' jump '#{pane_id}' '#{client_name}' '#{socket_path}'"
|
|
111
|
+
set -ag status-right ' #($HOME/.local/bin/ctally status --tmux)'
|
|
112
|
+
set -g status-right-length 80
|
|
113
|
+
```
|
|
114
|
+
|
|
115
|
+
The same `ctally` command works in any shell (it's installed to `~/.local/bin`):
|
|
116
|
+
|
|
117
|
+
```console
|
|
118
|
+
$ ctally list
|
|
119
|
+
waiting webapp:0.0 - webapp 5f3c…
|
|
120
|
+
done webapp:0.1 - webapp 9a1e…
|
|
121
|
+
working api:0.0 4 agents api c27d…
|
|
122
|
+
$ ctally status
|
|
123
|
+
!1 ▶1 ✓1
|
|
124
|
+
$ ctally jump # inside tmux: go to the session that needs you
|
|
125
|
+
```
|
|
126
|
+
|
|
127
|
+
## Requirements
|
|
128
|
+
|
|
129
|
+
- macOS 12 or later, or Ubuntu 22.04 or later (other Linux desktops should work too; see [Ubuntu](#ubuntu))
|
|
130
|
+
- Python 3.9 or later and [pipx](https://pipx.pypa.io)
|
|
131
|
+
- Claude Code
|
|
132
|
+
|
|
133
|
+
## Install
|
|
134
|
+
|
|
135
|
+
```sh
|
|
136
|
+
pipx install git+https://github.com/JinyuJinyuJinyu/ctally.git
|
|
137
|
+
ctally setup # or: ctally setup --tmux
|
|
138
|
+
```
|
|
139
|
+
|
|
140
|
+
pipx puts CTally in an environment of its own, with Qt (PySide6, about 100–400 MB depending on the platform),
|
|
141
|
+
and the `ctally` command in `~/.local/bin`. Then `ctally setup` does four things:
|
|
142
|
+
|
|
143
|
+
1. Copies the hook script to `~/.claude/hooks/ctally.sh`.
|
|
144
|
+
2. Adds the hooks to `~/.claude/settings.json`. It merges with your existing settings and backs the file up first.
|
|
145
|
+
3. Starts CTally at login: a LaunchAgent on macOS, an autostart entry (`~/.config/autostart`) on Linux.
|
|
146
|
+
4. Starts CTally now.
|
|
147
|
+
|
|
148
|
+
Restart any Claude Code sessions that were already running so they pick up the hooks.
|
|
149
|
+
|
|
150
|
+
| Option | Effect |
|
|
151
|
+
|---|---|
|
|
152
|
+
| `--tmux` | also set up tmux: the prefix + J jump key and status-line counts ([details](#built-for-tmux)) |
|
|
153
|
+
| `--no-hooks` | leave `~/.claude/settings.json` alone (add the hooks yourself; see below) |
|
|
154
|
+
| `--no-autostart` | don't start CTally at login |
|
|
155
|
+
| `--no-launch` | set up without starting CTally now |
|
|
156
|
+
|
|
157
|
+
To upgrade: `pipx upgrade ctally` (or `pipx install --force git+…` for the latest commit), then `ctally setup`
|
|
158
|
+
again. It restarts CTally and keeps your preferences.
|
|
159
|
+
|
|
160
|
+
**Upgrading from the Swift version** (CTally.app, installed with `./install.sh`): remove the old `ctally`
|
|
161
|
+
script first, since pipx won't replace a file it didn't put there: `rm ~/.local/bin/ctally`. Then install as
|
|
162
|
+
above. `ctally setup` quits and removes `~/Applications/CTally.app` and its login item, and keeps your opacity,
|
|
163
|
+
fold setting and position.
|
|
164
|
+
|
|
165
|
+
### Ubuntu
|
|
166
|
+
|
|
167
|
+
```sh
|
|
168
|
+
sudo apt install pipx libxcb-cursor0
|
|
169
|
+
pipx ensurepath # then open a new terminal
|
|
170
|
+
pipx install git+https://github.com/JinyuJinyuJinyu/ctally.git
|
|
171
|
+
ctally setup --tmux
|
|
172
|
+
```
|
|
173
|
+
|
|
174
|
+
`libxcb-cursor0` is the one library Qt needs that a desktop install of Ubuntu lacks.
|
|
175
|
+
|
|
176
|
+
- **Wayland** (Ubuntu's default) lets no app keep itself on top or choose where its window goes, so CTally
|
|
177
|
+
runs through XWayland, which allows both. That happens on its own; you don't need to switch sessions.
|
|
178
|
+
- **The top-bar icon** uses Ubuntu's AppIndicator support, which is on by default. On a desktop without a
|
|
179
|
+
tray, right-click the indicator itself for the menu.
|
|
180
|
+
- **Clicking a session** switches tmux to its pane, and opens a terminal on that tmux session if none shows
|
|
181
|
+
it. Raising the terminal's window works on X11 with `xdotool` installed (`sudo apt install xdotool`);
|
|
182
|
+
under Wayland no app may raise another's window, so bring the terminal up yourself. prefix + J needs
|
|
183
|
+
neither.
|
|
184
|
+
|
|
185
|
+
## Using it
|
|
186
|
+
|
|
187
|
+
| To | Do this |
|
|
188
|
+
|---|---|
|
|
189
|
+
| Move it | Drag it anywhere. It remembers the spot and grows up and left from its bottom-right corner. |
|
|
190
|
+
| Go to a session | Click its row (or its badge). |
|
|
191
|
+
| Jump to the session that needs you | In tmux, press prefix + J (set up by `ctally setup --tmux`). Again for the next one. |
|
|
192
|
+
| Fold or unfold the list | Click the chevron on the count bar, or right-click → Fold List. |
|
|
193
|
+
| Hide or show it | Use the hexagon in the menu bar (top bar on Ubuntu), or right-click → Hide CTally. |
|
|
194
|
+
| Change opacity | Menu bar → Settings…, or right-click → Settings… |
|
|
195
|
+
| Start or stop it | `ctally run` starts it; Quit in its menu stops it. |
|
|
196
|
+
| Name a session | Run `/rename my-name` in Claude Code. CTally picks the name up within seconds. |
|
|
197
|
+
|
|
198
|
+
**The first time you click a session** on macOS, macOS asks whether CTally (shown as Python, which runs it) may
|
|
199
|
+
control Terminal. Allow it so CTally can bring the right tab forward. You can change this later in
|
|
200
|
+
**System Settings → Privacy & Security → Automation**.
|
|
201
|
+
|
|
202
|
+
## How it works
|
|
203
|
+
|
|
204
|
+
```
|
|
205
|
+
Claude Code ──hooks──▶ ~/.claude/ctally.d/<session id> ──read 5×/s──▶ ctally run
|
|
206
|
+
```
|
|
207
|
+
|
|
208
|
+
Two pieces, connected by a folder:
|
|
209
|
+
|
|
210
|
+
1. **Hooks.** `ctally.sh` (in `src/ctally/hooks/`) runs on Claude Code events and writes one small file per session:
|
|
211
|
+
`working <pid> <project>`.
|
|
212
|
+
|
|
213
|
+
| Event | State written |
|
|
214
|
+
|---|---|
|
|
215
|
+
| `UserPromptSubmit` | `working` |
|
|
216
|
+
| `PreToolUse` | `working` (a tool is about to run) |
|
|
217
|
+
| `PostToolUse` | `working` (back to work after a permission prompt) |
|
|
218
|
+
| `Stop` | `done`, or still `working` if subagents or a workflow run on in the background |
|
|
219
|
+
| `Notification` | `waiting` (a permission prompt, or idle input) |
|
|
220
|
+
| `SessionEnd` | removes the file |
|
|
221
|
+
| `SubagentStart` / `SubagentStop` | adds / removes a file per agent in `~/.claude/ctally.d/.agents/<session id>/` |
|
|
222
|
+
|
|
223
|
+
A `waiting` never overwrites `done`: Claude Code also sends its idle notification after a turn ends. Nor
|
|
224
|
+
does the idle notification count while the session's agents are still out.
|
|
225
|
+
Inside tmux, a change of state also redraws tmux's status lines, so the counts there update at once.
|
|
226
|
+
|
|
227
|
+
2. **The app.** It polls the folder five times a second, checking modification times first so unchanged files
|
|
228
|
+
aren't re-read. Sessions whose process has exited drop off the display. The exception is when nothing else
|
|
229
|
+
is running: a finished one stays so you can still see it. Leftover files are cleaned up after a day.
|
|
230
|
+
|
|
231
|
+
To add the hooks by hand, copy `src/ctally/hooks/ctally.sh` to `~/.claude/hooks/` and merge this into
|
|
232
|
+
`~/.claude/settings.json`:
|
|
233
|
+
|
|
234
|
+
```json
|
|
235
|
+
{
|
|
236
|
+
"hooks": {
|
|
237
|
+
"UserPromptSubmit": [{ "hooks": [{ "type": "command", "command": "\"$HOME/.claude/hooks/ctally.sh\" working" }] }],
|
|
238
|
+
"PreToolUse": [{ "hooks": [{ "type": "command", "command": "\"$HOME/.claude/hooks/ctally.sh\" working" }] }],
|
|
239
|
+
"PostToolUse": [{ "hooks": [{ "type": "command", "command": "\"$HOME/.claude/hooks/ctally.sh\" working" }] }],
|
|
240
|
+
"Stop": [{ "hooks": [{ "type": "command", "command": "\"$HOME/.claude/hooks/ctally.sh\" done" }] }],
|
|
241
|
+
"Notification": [{ "hooks": [{ "type": "command", "command": "\"$HOME/.claude/hooks/ctally.sh\" waiting" }] }],
|
|
242
|
+
"SessionEnd": [{ "hooks": [{ "type": "command", "command": "\"$HOME/.claude/hooks/ctally.sh\" end" }] }],
|
|
243
|
+
"SubagentStart": [{ "hooks": [{ "type": "command", "command": "\"$HOME/.claude/hooks/ctally.sh\" agent-start" }] }],
|
|
244
|
+
"SubagentStop": [{ "hooks": [{ "type": "command", "command": "\"$HOME/.claude/hooks/ctally.sh\" agent-stop" }] }]
|
|
245
|
+
}
|
|
246
|
+
}
|
|
247
|
+
```
|
|
248
|
+
|
|
249
|
+
### Privacy
|
|
250
|
+
|
|
251
|
+
Everything stays on your machine. The app makes no network requests. To show session names it reads each
|
|
252
|
+
transcript in `~/.claude/projects/`, but only two parts:
|
|
253
|
+
|
|
254
|
+
- the last 256 KB, for the `/rename` name or the generated title
|
|
255
|
+
- the first 256 KB, once, for the directory the session started in
|
|
256
|
+
|
|
257
|
+
While agents run it also reads, beside the transcript, a running workflow's progress journal (for its phase
|
|
258
|
+
and how many agents are done) and a lone subagent's one-line task description. It never reads your
|
|
259
|
+
conversations otherwise.
|
|
260
|
+
|
|
261
|
+
### Terminal support
|
|
262
|
+
|
|
263
|
+
On macOS, clicking a session works best in **Terminal.app**, with or without tmux: CTally finds the exact tab, or the
|
|
264
|
+
exact tmux pane and the tab attached to it. In other terminals (iTerm2, VS Code, …) and for sessions in the
|
|
265
|
+
Claude desktop app, it still switches tmux to the right pane and brings the app forward, but can't pick the
|
|
266
|
+
tab. On Linux, see [Ubuntu](#ubuntu). The prefix + J jump key works in any terminal.
|
|
267
|
+
|
|
268
|
+
## Uninstall
|
|
269
|
+
|
|
270
|
+
```sh
|
|
271
|
+
ctally uninstall
|
|
272
|
+
pipx uninstall ctally
|
|
273
|
+
```
|
|
274
|
+
|
|
275
|
+
The first removes the hooks in `~/.claude/settings.json` and the block in your tmux config (both after a
|
|
276
|
+
backup), the hook script, starting at login, the state files and the preferences. Your other Claude Code and
|
|
277
|
+
tmux settings are left as they are. The second removes the command and its Qt.
|
|
278
|
+
|
|
279
|
+
## Troubleshooting
|
|
280
|
+
|
|
281
|
+
- **CTally doesn't change state.** Restart your Claude Code sessions after installing. Then check that
|
|
282
|
+
`~/.claude/ctally.d/` gets a file when you send a prompt.
|
|
283
|
+
- **Clicking a session does nothing.** On macOS, allow Python (which runs CTally) to control Terminal under
|
|
284
|
+
**System Settings → Privacy & Security → Automation**.
|
|
285
|
+
- **prefix + J says "nothing needs you".** That means no session is waiting or done; `ctally list` shows what
|
|
286
|
+
CTally sees. A session started outside tmux can't be jumped to.
|
|
287
|
+
- **CTally is gone.** Use the hexagon icon in the menu bar → Show CTally. If the icon is gone too, it isn't
|
|
288
|
+
running: run `ctally run`. Its log is `~/Library/Logs/ctally.log` on macOS and
|
|
289
|
+
`~/.local/state/ctally/ctally.log` on Linux.
|
|
290
|
+
- **Ubuntu: "Could not load the Qt platform plugin xcb".** Install the library it names, usually
|
|
291
|
+
`sudo apt install libxcb-cursor0`.
|
|
292
|
+
|
|
293
|
+
## Developing
|
|
294
|
+
|
|
295
|
+
```sh
|
|
296
|
+
python3 -m venv .venv && .venv/bin/pip install -e . pytest
|
|
297
|
+
.venv/bin/ctally run # the indicator, from your checkout
|
|
298
|
+
.venv/bin/python -m pytest tests # the tests
|
|
299
|
+
.venv/bin/python tools/snapshot.py # the README's screenshots, from demo data
|
|
300
|
+
```
|
|
301
|
+
|
|
302
|
+
Set `CTALLY_STATE_DIR`, `CTALLY_PROJECTS_DIR` and `CTALLY_CONFIG_DIR` to run it against other folders than
|
|
303
|
+
`~/.claude/ctally.d`, `~/.claude/projects` and its own settings.
|
|
304
|
+
|
|
305
|
+
## Releasing
|
|
306
|
+
|
|
307
|
+
Releases go to PyPI from GitHub, by `.github/workflows/publish.yml`, using PyPI's Trusted Publishing: PyPI
|
|
308
|
+
trusts that workflow in this repository, so no token is stored anywhere.
|
|
309
|
+
|
|
310
|
+
1. Bump `__version__` in `src/ctally/__init__.py`, then commit and push.
|
|
311
|
+
2. Create a release whose tag matches it: `gh release create v0.2.1 --generate-notes`, or on GitHub.
|
|
312
|
+
3. The workflow builds the package, checks it and uploads it. `pipx upgrade ctally` then picks it up.
|
|
313
|
+
|
|
314
|
+
Once, before the first release: on [pypi.org](https://pypi.org) → your account → **Publishing**, add a pending
|
|
315
|
+
publisher with PyPI project `ctally`, owner `JinyuJinyuJinyu`, repository `ctally`, workflow `publish.yml`
|
|
316
|
+
and environment `pypi`.

# CTally

|
+
|
|
3
|
+
A floating status light for your Claude Code sessions on **macOS and Ubuntu**: **whose turn is it?**
|
|
4
|
+
Glance over instead of tabbing back to the terminal.
|
|
5
|
+
|
|
6
|
+
```sh
|
|
7
|
+
pipx install git+https://github.com/JinyuJinyuJinyu/ctally.git
|
|
8
|
+
ctally setup --tmux
|
|
9
|
+
```
|
|
10
|
+
|
|
11
|
+
The name comes from the *tally light*, the lamp on a broadcast camera that shows it's live, and from tallying
|
|
12
|
+
up your sessions.
|
|
13
|
+
|
|
14
|
+

|
|

|

|

Every session gets a hexagon whose glyph and color say what it's doing:
|
|
17
|
+
|
|
18
|
+
| | State | Meaning |
|
|
19
|
+
|---|---|---|
|
|
20
|
+
| ▶ cyan | **working** | Claude's turn: it's working, or its subagents or a workflow still are |
|
|
21
|
+
| ⏸ amber | **waiting** | your turn: a permission prompt, or it's waiting for input |
|
|
22
|
+
| ✓ green | **done** | your turn: the turn finished, and it stays here until your next prompt |
|
|
23
|
+
| • slate | **idle** | nothing running |
|
|
24
|
+
|
|
25
|
+
## Features
|
|
26
|
+
|
|
27
|
+
- **Floats above everything** without ever taking keyboard focus; on macOS on every Space and beside
|
|
28
|
+
full-screen apps too.
|
|
29
|
+
- **One to three sessions show as big badges**; four or more become a compact list with each session's
|
|
30
|
+
name and directory, up to 16 rows. Session names come from `/rename`, or else the title Claude gave the session.
|
|
31
|
+
- **Sees subagents and workflows**: while a session's agents run, its row says how many and what they're up
|
|
32
|
+
to (`4 agents · Verify`), with a progress bar for a workflow, and its badge carries the count.
|
|
33
|
+
[More below.](#subagents-and-workflows)
|
|
34
|
+
- **Built for tmux**: every row shows its pane, a click switches to it, **prefix + J** jumps to the session
|
|
35
|
+
that needs you, and the counts can sit in tmux's status line. [More below.](#built-for-tmux)
|
|
36
|
+
- **Click a row to bring that session's terminal forward**: the exact tmux pane, and on macOS the exact
|
|
37
|
+
Terminal tab.
|
|
38
|
+
- **Fold the list** down to a bar of counts with the chevron.
|
|
39
|
+
- **When a turn finishes**, its row washes green and its mark bounces once; then everything holds still.
|
|
40
|
+
- **Menu bar (or top bar) icon** to show or hide CTally. Off stays off across restarts, and the app sits idle
|
|
41
|
+
with no timers.
|
|
42
|
+
- **Settings window** with an on/off switch and an opacity slider (80% by default).
|
|
43
|
+
- **Silent**: no sounds, no notifications, no Dock icon.
|
|
44
|
+
- **One Python package**, installed with pipx: the same Qt app on macOS and Linux, and a `ctally` command for
|
|
45
|
+
the terminal and tmux.

## Subagents and workflows
|
|
50
|
+
|
|
51
|
+
When a session hands work to subagents, or runs a whole workflow of them, CTally follows along:
|
|
52
|
+
|
|
53
|
+
- **The row grows a line about its agents**: how many are running, and what they're doing. For a workflow
|
|
54
|
+
that's the phase it has reached (`4 agents · Verify`), with a progress bar of its agents finished out of
|
|
55
|
+
those started so far (`12/16`; the total grows as each phase sets off more). For a single agent it's the
|
|
56
|
+
task it was given (`1 agent · Find callers of parseConfig`).
|
|
57
|
+
- **The badge carries the count** (`⚙ 4`) on its shoulder.
|
|
58
|
+
- **The session stays working until its agents are back.** A session that sends agents off in the background
|
|
59
|
+
finishes its own turn at once, and would otherwise look done for as long as they run, sometimes hours. CTally
|
|
60
|
+
keeps it cyan until they return and Claude has taken in their results, and prefix + J leaves it alone till
|
|
61
|
+
then.
|
|
62
|
+
|
|
63
|
+
`ctally list` shows the count too. This needs the subagent hooks that `ctally setup` adds; if you set up
|
|
64
|
+
CTally before they existed, run `ctally setup` again and restart your sessions.
|
|
65
|
+
|
|
66
|
+
## Built for tmux
|
|
67
|
+
|
|
68
|
+
Running a dozen Claude Code sessions across tmux sessions and split panes is exactly what CTally is for.
|
|
69
|
+
It knows where each one lives, because tmux leaves `TMUX` and `TMUX_PANE` in the environment of everything
|
|
70
|
+
started inside it.
|
|
71
|
+
|
|
72
|
+
- **Every row shows its pane.** `webapp:0.1` is tmux session `webapp`, window 0, pane 1, and it sits next to
|
|
73
|
+
the directory, so two sessions in the same folder are easy to tell apart.
|
|
74
|
+
- **Click a row** and tmux switches to that exact pane. Then the Terminal tab attached to that tmux session
|
|
75
|
+
comes forward, or a new Terminal window attaches to it if no tab shows it.
|
|
76
|
+
- **prefix + J jumps to the session that needs you**, without touching the mouse: waiting sessions first,
|
|
77
|
+
then finished ones, longest-waiting first. Press it again for the next one.
|
|
78
|
+
- **The counts sit in tmux's status line** (`!1 ▶2 ✓5`: waiting, working, done), and they change the moment a
|
|
79
|
+
session does.
|
|
80
|
+
|
|
81
|
+
Turn on the key and the status line with:
|
|
82
|
+
|
|
83
|
+
```sh
|
|
84
|
+
ctally setup --tmux
|
|
85
|
+
```
|
|
86
|
+
|
|
87
|
+
This adds a marked block to `~/.tmux.conf` and applies it to your running tmux at once. The file is backed
|
|
88
|
+
up first, and `ctally uninstall` takes the block out again. To set it up by hand instead:
|
|
89
|
+
|
|
90
|
+
```tmux
|
|
91
|
+
bind-key J run-shell -b "'$HOME/.local/bin/ctally' jump '#{pane_id}' '#{client_name}' '#{socket_path}'"
|
|
92
|
+
set -ag status-right ' #($HOME/.local/bin/ctally status --tmux)'
|
|
93
|
+
set -g status-right-length 80
|
|
94
|
+
```
|
|
95
|
+
|
|
96
|
+
The same `ctally` command works in any shell (it's installed to `~/.local/bin`):
|
|
97
|
+
|
|
98
|
+
```console
|
|
99
|
+
$ ctally list
|
|
100
|
+
waiting webapp:0.0 - webapp 5f3c…
|
|
101
|
+
done webapp:0.1 - webapp 9a1e…
|
|
102
|
+
working api:0.0 4 agents api c27d…
|
|
103
|
+
$ ctally status
|
|
104
|
+
!1 ▶1 ✓1
|
|
105
|
+
$ ctally jump # inside tmux: go to the session that needs you
|
|
106
|
+
```
|
|
107
|
+
|
|
108
|
+
## Requirements
|
|
109
|
+
|
|
110
|
+
- macOS 12 or later, or Ubuntu 22.04 or later (other Linux desktops should work too; see [Ubuntu](#ubuntu))
|
|
111
|
+
- Python 3.9 or later and [pipx](https://pipx.pypa.io)
|
|
112
|
+
- Claude Code
|
|
113
|
+
|
|
114
|
+
## Install
|
|
115
|
+
|
|
116
|
+
```sh
|
|
117
|
+
pipx install git+https://github.com/JinyuJinyuJinyu/ctally.git
|
|
118
|
+
ctally setup # or: ctally setup --tmux
|
|
119
|
+
```
|
|
120
|
+
|
|
121
|
+
pipx puts CTally in an environment of its own, with Qt (PySide6, about 100–400 MB depending on the platform),
|
|
122
|
+
and the `ctally` command in `~/.local/bin`. Then `ctally setup` does four things:
|
|
123
|
+
|
|
124
|
+
1. Copies the hook script to `~/.claude/hooks/ctally.sh`.
|
|
125
|
+
2. Adds the hooks to `~/.claude/settings.json`. It merges with your existing settings and backs the file up first.
|
|
126
|
+
3. Starts CTally at login: a LaunchAgent on macOS, an autostart entry (`~/.config/autostart`) on Linux.
|
|
127
|
+
4. Starts CTally now.
|
|
128
|
+
|
|
129
|
+
Restart any Claude Code sessions that were already running so they pick up the hooks.
|
|
130
|
+
|
|
131
|
+
| Option | Effect |
|
|
132
|
+
|---|---|
|
|
133
|
+
| `--tmux` | also set up tmux: the prefix + J jump key and status-line counts ([details](#built-for-tmux)) |
|
|
134
|
+
| `--no-hooks` | leave `~/.claude/settings.json` alone (add the hooks yourself; see below) |
|
|
135
|
+
| `--no-autostart` | don't start CTally at login |
|
|
136
|
+
| `--no-launch` | set up without starting CTally now |
|
|
137
|
+
|
|
138
|
+
To upgrade: `pipx upgrade ctally` (or `pipx install --force git+…` for the latest commit), then `ctally setup`
|
|
139
|
+
again. It restarts CTally and keeps your preferences.
|
|
140
|
+
|
|
141
|
+
**Upgrading from the Swift version** (CTally.app, installed with `./install.sh`): remove the old `ctally`
|
|
142
|
+
script first, since pipx won't replace a file it didn't put there: `rm ~/.local/bin/ctally`. Then install as
|
|
143
|
+
above. `ctally setup` quits and removes `~/Applications/CTally.app` and its login item, and keeps your opacity,
|
|
144
|
+
fold setting and position.
|
|
145
|
+

### Ubuntu
|
|
147
|
+
|
|
148
|
+
```sh
|
|
149
|
+
sudo apt install pipx libxcb-cursor0
|
|
150
|
+
pipx ensurepath # then open a new terminal
|
|
151
|
+
pipx install git+https://github.com/JinyuJinyuJinyu/ctally.git
|
|
152
|
+
ctally setup --tmux
|
|
153
|
+
```
|
|
154
|
+
|
|
155
|
+
`libxcb-cursor0` is the one library Qt needs that a desktop install of Ubuntu lacks.
|
|
156
|
+
|
|
157
|
+
- **Wayland** (Ubuntu's default) lets no app keep itself on top or choose where its window goes, so CTally
|
|
158
|
+
runs through XWayland, which allows both. That happens on its own; you don't need to switch sessions.
|
|
159
|
+
- **The top-bar icon** uses Ubuntu's AppIndicator support, which is on by default. On a desktop without a
|
|
160
|
+
tray, right-click the indicator itself for the menu.
|
|
161
|
+
- **Clicking a session** switches tmux to its pane, and opens a terminal on that tmux session if none shows
|
|
162
|
+
it. Raising the terminal's window works on X11 with `xdotool` installed (`sudo apt install xdotool`);
|
|
163
|
+
under Wayland no app may raise another's window, so bring the terminal up yourself. prefix + J needs
|
|
164
|
+
neither.
|
|
165
|
+
|
|
166
|
+
## Using it
|
|
167
|
+
|
|
168
|
+
| To | Do this |
|
|
169
|
+
|---|---|
|
|
170
|
+
| Move it | Drag it anywhere. It remembers the spot and grows up and left from its bottom-right corner. |
|
|
171
|
+
| Go to a session | Click its row (or its badge). |
|
|
172
|
+
| Jump to the session that needs you | In tmux, press prefix + J (set up by `ctally setup --tmux`). Again for the next one. |
|
|
173
|
+
| Fold or unfold the list | Click the chevron on the count bar, or right-click → Fold List. |
|
|
174
|
+
| Hide or show it | Use the hexagon in the menu bar (top bar on Ubuntu), or right-click → Hide CTally. |
|
|
175
|
+
| Change opacity | Menu bar → Settings…, or right-click → Settings… |
|
|
176
|
+
| Start or stop it | `ctally run` starts it; Quit in its menu stops it. |
|
|
177
|
+
| Name a session | Run `/rename my-name` in Claude Code. CTally picks the name up within seconds. |
|
|
178
|
+
|
|
179
|
+
**The first time you click a session** on macOS, macOS asks whether CTally (shown as Python, which runs it) may
|
|
180
|
+
control Terminal. Allow it so CTally can bring the right tab forward. You can change this later in
|
|
181
|
+
**System Settings → Privacy & Security → Automation**.
|
|
182
|
+
|
|
183
|
+
## How it works
|
|
184
|
+
|
|
185
|
+
```
|
|
186
|
+
Claude Code ──hooks──▶ ~/.claude/ctally.d/<session id> ──read 5×/s──▶ ctally run
|
|
187
|
+
```
|
|
188
|
+
|
|
189
|
+
Two pieces, connected by a folder:
|
|
190
|
+
|
|
191
|
+
1. **Hooks.** `ctally.sh` (in `src/ctally/hooks/`) runs on Claude Code events and writes one small file per session:
|
|
192
|
+
`working <pid> <project>`.
|
|
193
|
+
|
|
194
|
+
| Event | State written |
|
|
195
|
+
|---|---|
|
|
196
|
+
| `UserPromptSubmit` | `working` |
|
|
197
|
+
| `PreToolUse` | `working` (a tool is about to run) |
|
|
198
|
+
| `PostToolUse` | `working` (back to work after a permission prompt) |
|
|
199
|
+
| `Stop` | `done`, or still `working` if subagents or a workflow run on in the background |
|
|
200
|
+
| `Notification` | `waiting` (a permission prompt, or idle input) |
|
|
201
|
+
| `SessionEnd` | removes the file |
|
|
202
|
+
| `SubagentStart` / `SubagentStop` | adds / removes a file per agent in `~/.claude/ctally.d/.agents/<session id>/` |
|
|
203
|
+
|
|
204
|
+
A `waiting` never overwrites `done`: Claude Code also sends its idle notification after a turn ends. Nor
|
|
205
|
+
does the idle notification count while the session's agents are still out.
|
|
206
|
+
Inside tmux, a change of state also redraws tmux's status lines, so the counts there update at once.
|
|
207
|
+
|
|
208
|
+
2. **The app.** It polls the folder five times a second, checking modification times first so unchanged files
|
|
209
|
+
aren't re-read. Sessions whose process has exited drop off the display. The exception is when nothing else
|
|
210
|
+
is running: a finished one stays so you can still see it. Leftover files are cleaned up after a day.
|
|
211
|
+
|
|
212
|
+
To add the hooks by hand, copy `src/ctally/hooks/ctally.sh` to `~/.claude/hooks/` and merge this into
|
|
213
|
+
`~/.claude/settings.json`:
|
|
214
|
+
|
|
215
|
+
```json
|
|
216
|
+
{
|
|
217
|
+
"hooks": {
|
|
218
|
+
"UserPromptSubmit": [{ "hooks": [{ "type": "command", "command": "\"$HOME/.claude/hooks/ctally.sh\" working" }] }],
|
|
219
|
+
"PreToolUse": [{ "hooks": [{ "type": "command", "command": "\"$HOME/.claude/hooks/ctally.sh\" working" }] }],
|
|
220
|
+
"PostToolUse": [{ "hooks": [{ "type": "command", "command": "\"$HOME/.claude/hooks/ctally.sh\" working" }] }],
|
|
221
|
+
"Stop": [{ "hooks": [{ "type": "command", "command": "\"$HOME/.claude/hooks/ctally.sh\" done" }] }],
|
|
222
|
+
"Notification": [{ "hooks": [{ "type": "command", "command": "\"$HOME/.claude/hooks/ctally.sh\" waiting" }] }],
|
|
223
|
+
"SessionEnd": [{ "hooks": [{ "type": "command", "command": "\"$HOME/.claude/hooks/ctally.sh\" end" }] }],
|
|
224
|
+
"SubagentStart": [{ "hooks": [{ "type": "command", "command": "\"$HOME/.claude/hooks/ctally.sh\" agent-start" }] }],
|
|
225
|
+
"SubagentStop": [{ "hooks": [{ "type": "command", "command": "\"$HOME/.claude/hooks/ctally.sh\" agent-stop" }] }]
|
|
226
|
+
}
|
|
227
|
+
}
|
|
228
|
+
```
|
|
229
|
+
|
|
230
|
+
### Privacy
|
|
231
|
+
|
|
232
|
+
Everything stays on your machine. The app makes no network requests. To show session names it reads each
|
|
233
|
+
transcript in `~/.claude/projects/`, but only two parts:
|
|
234
|
+
|
|
235
|
+
- the last 256 KB, for the `/rename` name or the generated title
|
|
236
|
+
- the first 256 KB, once, for the directory the session started in
|
|
237
|
+
|
|
238
|
+
While agents run it also reads, beside the transcript, a running workflow's progress journal (for its phase
|
|
239
|
+
and how many agents are done) and a lone subagent's one-line task description. It never reads your
|
|
240
|
+
conversations otherwise.
|
|
241
|
+
|
|
242
|
+
### Terminal support
|
|
243
|
+
|
|
244
|
+
On macOS, clicking a session works best in **Terminal.app**, with or without tmux: CTally finds the exact tab, or the
|
|
245
|
+
exact tmux pane and the tab attached to it. In other terminals (iTerm2, VS Code, …) and for sessions in the
|
|
246
|
+
Claude desktop app, it still switches tmux to the right pane and brings the app forward, but can't pick the
|
|
247
|
+
tab. On Linux, see [Ubuntu](#ubuntu). The prefix + J jump key works in any terminal.
|
|
248
|
+
|
|
249
|
+
## Uninstall
|
|
250
|
+
|
|
251
|
+
```sh
|
|
252
|
+
ctally uninstall
|
|
253
|
+
pipx uninstall ctally
|
|
254
|
+
```
|
|
255
|
+
|
|
256
|
+
The first removes the hooks in `~/.claude/settings.json` and the block in your tmux config (both after a
|
|
257
|
+
backup), the hook script, starting at login, the state files and the preferences. Your other Claude Code and
|
|
258
|
+
tmux settings are left as they are. The second removes the command and its Qt.
|
|
259
|
+
|
|
260
|
+
## Troubleshooting
|
|
261
|
+
|
|
262
|
+
- **CTally doesn't change state.** Restart your Claude Code sessions after installing. Then check that
|
|
263
|
+
`~/.claude/ctally.d/` gets a file when you send a prompt.
|
|
264
|
+
- **Clicking a session does nothing.** On macOS, allow Python (which runs CTally) to control Terminal under
|
|
265
|
+
**System Settings → Privacy & Security → Automation**.
|
|
266
|
+
- **prefix + J says "nothing needs you".** That means no session is waiting or done; `ctally list` shows what
|
|
267
|
+
CTally sees. A session started outside tmux can't be jumped to.
|
|
268
|
+
- **CTally is gone.** Use the hexagon icon in the menu bar → Show CTally. If the icon is gone too, it isn't
|
|
269
|
+
running: run `ctally run`. Its log is `~/Library/Logs/ctally.log` on macOS and
|
|
270
|
+
`~/.local/state/ctally/ctally.log` on Linux.
|
|
271
|
+
- **Ubuntu: "Could not load the Qt platform plugin xcb".** Install the library it names, usually
|
|
272
|
+
`sudo apt install libxcb-cursor0`.
|
|
273
|
+
|
|
274
|
+
## Developing
|
|
275
|
+
|
|
276
|
+
```sh
|
|
277
|
+
python3 -m venv .venv && .venv/bin/pip install -e . pytest
|
|
278
|
+
.venv/bin/ctally run # the indicator, from your checkout
|
|
279
|
+
.venv/bin/python -m pytest tests # the tests
|
|
280
|
+
.venv/bin/python tools/snapshot.py # the README's screenshots, from demo data
|
|
281
|
+
```
|
|
282
|
+
|
|
283
|
+
Set `CTALLY_STATE_DIR`, `CTALLY_PROJECTS_DIR` and `CTALLY_CONFIG_DIR` to run it against other folders than
|
|
284
|
+
`~/.claude/ctally.d`, `~/.claude/projects` and its own settings.
|
|
285
|
+
|
|
286
|
+
## Releasing
|
|
287
|
+
|
|
288
|
+
Releases go to PyPI from GitHub, by `.github/workflows/publish.yml`, using PyPI's Trusted Publishing: PyPI
|
|
289
|
+
trusts that workflow in this repository, so no token is stored anywhere.
|
|
290
|
+
|
|
291
|
+
1. Bump `__version__` in `src/ctally/__init__.py`, then commit and push.
|
|
292
|
+
2. Create a release whose tag matches it: `gh release create v0.2.1 --generate-notes`, or on GitHub.
|
|
293
|
+
3. The workflow builds the package, checks it and uploads it. `pipx upgrade ctally` then picks it up.
|
|
294
|
+
|
|
295
|
+
Once, before the first release: on [pypi.org](https://pypi.org) → your account → **Publishing**, add a pending
|
|
296
|
+
publisher with PyPI project `ctally`, owner `JinyuJinyuJinyu`, repository `ctally`, workflow `publish.yml`
|
|
297
|
+
and environment `pypi`.
