A tiny cat that watches your AI coding agents for you
You kick off an AI agent, switch tabs, and forget it's stuck or 90% through its context window. tablo fixes that, a tiny cat in your screen corner watching every Claude Code & Codex session: live context meters, tool approvals, and a nudge the second one needs you. Unlike usage dashboards, tablo tracks the conversation context filling up in real time, per session, across both tools β in a widget that stays out of your way. cozy by default. π±
Hey Product Hunt π
I run a lot of Claude Code and Codex sessions at once, and I kept hitting the same annoying thing: I'd kick off an agent, switch tabs to do something else, and completely forget it was sitting there, stuck, or quietly burning through its context window until it auto-compacted and lost the thread.
I wanted something that would just watch them for me without taking over my screen. So I built tablo, a tiny pixel cat that sits in the corner of your desktop and keeps an eye on every session. It shows a live context-window meter per session, surfaces tool approvals, and nudges you the second one needs you. Tap the cat or hit the shortcut to open a panel with everything at a glance; there's a dashboard too.
A few things that made it fun to build:
1) the cat has moods: it sleeps when idle, starts running when agents are working, and gets alarmed when a session's near its limit.
2) it's a true desktop widget (Tauri), not a web dashboard and stays out of your way.
3) fully free and open source.
It works best on macOS right now; Windows/Linux run the core but some bits are experimental. And a heads up: the "jump to session" feature (tap to focus the exact terminal/tmux pane) is marked experimental because focusing arbitrary terminals is genuinely a bit flaky across setups.
Would love your feedback, and if you run coding agents, give the cat a try and tell me what's missing πΎ
