I gave every Claude Code tab a little pixel alien so I stop losing track of which one needs me

I usually have 10+ Claude Code sessions open across Terminal, iTerm2 and Ghostty, and I kept tabbing through all of them to find the one waiting for my permission.
So I built Alien Desk, a small Mac panel that sits next to your terminal:
- Each tab gets its own pixel alien. It holds up a note when Claude needs you, hops when a task is done, and blinks while it rests.
- One click (or ⌥ + number) takes you straight to that exact tab, even inside tmux.
- It shows the model and effort per tab, and your 5-hour / 7-day usage.
- It can reopen your conversations after a restart, right where they were.
How Claude Code helped (it wrote almost all of it, I'm a designer):
• The core is a Claude Code hook: a tiny zsh script that writes each session's state, plus a Swift helper. Claude designed it so the hook never makes Claude wait (it measures a few ms).
• Every change goes through a second, fresh Claude session that reviews the code read-only before release. It caught real bugs I would have shipped.
• For performance we measured CPU instructions instead of guessing, and kept only changes that lowered the number.
• When a UI bug didn't reproduce, Claude built an offscreen test window and a debug build to measure the problem in numbers before fixing it.
• The site copy, Japanese translation and release notes were written with Claude too.
It's free to try (the core panel is free). No account, and nothing about your work leaves your Mac.
Would love feedback, especially from tmux and Ghostty users. What would make this more useful for how you work?
