  • Opus is so slow these days what I really want is a bell sound to ring when it's done. I kick off some task and then it takes 3-12 minutes to complete. It's wrong, so I tell it to revert and try again with slightly different instructions.

  • I recently had a nasty accident too and snapped my collar bone, broken tibia, and 6 broken ribs, so I can absolutely relate. Claude Code was there for me in a big way as well :-)

    It's a long road to recovery. I'm 5 months in and still in a lot of pain, but it does (slowly) get better. Hope you're spirits stay up!

  • I like this. Small tools inside the workflow feel much more useful than separate productivity apps I have to remember to open.

  • Great idea! I just created one for Pi

  • Nice. I think there will be a cottage industry of porting every Mac menu bar utility to Claude. I can't use this until it doesn't show seconds. A MM:SS timer is tolerable when it's in my menu bar, but a ticking timer right where my focus is during a work session would be very distracting to me. The best version of this, for me, would be one that leans into Claude's ability to customize its own statusbar. If Claudoro is in charge of writing timer data to somewhere Claude can see it, I can tell Claude exactly how to display the timer in the statusline.

  • Love that it follows you from terminal to terminal, super useful.

    Though, if you're following Cal Newport-ian rules, watching over multiple agents doing their work is no longer a 25 minute "deep work" Pomodoro, and god knows Newport has been complaining about it [1]

  • Also for tmux (which I always run claude inside)

  • From the title I thought it’d be a timer for the agent itself, so it doesn’t waste time on endless thinking loops, etc.
