Hangabout

He hangs about at the top of your screen and keeps an eye on your Claude Code usage. Move the cursor up and he swings down on a rope holding a game-style HUD: health bars for your 5-hour and weekly limits, today’s tokens as your score.

An automatic visit lasts twelve seconds. If nobody has touched the machine for a few minutes he holds it until you are back, rather than performing to an empty chair.

Nothing leaves your PC

No account, no sign-up, no telemetry, no analytics, no advertising. He reads the sign-in and the transcripts Claude Code already keeps on your own disk, and makes exactly one request — to Anthropic, for your own rate-limit windows. Your conversations are never parsed, stored or sent anywhere.

free, from the Microsoft Store

Installing him from the Store adds a Start menu entry, a hangabout command in Windows Terminal, and a switch under Settings → Apps → Startup that waits for you to turn it on.
