About CodeBreak

CodeBreak is a macOS app for developers who run Claude Code and keep losing time checking whether it has finished. A small animated character stays visible across every app and window, so the state of the task can be seen without switching back to the terminal.

The character reflects what Claude Code is doing: working, task done, needs input or error. When Claude stops to wait for a decision, the character changes pace and an urgent sound plays, which addresses the common case of an agent sitting blocked for many minutes while the developer is elsewhere. It works with Terminal, iTerm2, Claude Desktop and VS Code on macOS 12 or later.

CodeBreak is proprietary software sold as a license with lifetime access and a 14-day money-back guarantee. It suits developers who delegate longer tasks to Claude Code and want to step away or work in other windows meanwhile.
