I run a bunch of Claude Code sessions at once across different terminals. Switching between tabs to check what's working and what needs my attention got old fast, so I built this: a small floating widget that turns each session into a plant.

Green and swaying means it's working, blue and leaning means it wants your input. Gray is idle, pink bloom is done, red wilt means something broke.

Each project gets its own plant type (succulent, fern, flower, tree, or cactus) based on a hash of its path, so you'll recognize them at a glance. The widget sits in the corner of your screen, always on top, frameless. Click a plant and you get a detail card with the current tool, file, and task info.

There's also a greenhouse view, a full dashboard with larger plant cards and an activity journal, if you want the bigger picture.

The widget watches ~/.claude/ for file changes and polls every few seconds as a fallback. It detects running Claude Code processes directly (via wmic on Windows), so closed sessions don't stick around as ghosts.

If a session has todos or tasks, you'll see a small progress ring on the plant.

npm install

If you're behind a firewall and can't download the Electron binary, run npm install --ignore-scripts and copy the Electron dist/ folder and path.txt from another project that has it.

npm run dev

Shows up at the bottom-right of your screen.

npm run build:win    # Windows
npm run build:mac    # macOS
npm run build:linux  # Linux

The app reads ~/.claude/history.jsonl for session metadata, monitors transcript files in ~/.claude/projects/, and checks ~/.claude/todos/ and ~/.claude/tasks/ for task progress. It also queries the system process list to know which sessions are actually alive.

Status logic:

Each session maps to a plant type through a deterministic hash of its project path.

Electron + electron-vite for the desktop shell. React 18 + TypeScript for the UI. Plants are inline SVG components with CSS animations. File watching through chokidar. Process detection through wmic on Windows.
