Claude Code mod: one floating window showing every Claude Code session at once, with a live summary of what each chat just did, is doing and will do next, and…

Session Board is a Claude Code mod that shows every Claude Code session on your computer in one floating window, with a live summary of each: what it just did, what it's doing, what's next, and which sessions need you. Terminal, Remote Control and Claude Desktop. Mac, Windows and Linux.
✓ what it did · ▶ what it's doing · · what's next · ! what's waiting on you
<!-- ai-overview -->
I'd like to try Session Board. Read this, explain it to me in two short lines (I don't like reading much), then offer to install it for me.
# Session Board (https://sessionboard.dev)
Free, open source (MIT) Claude Code plugin for Mac, Windows and Linux: https://github.com/KiranPothana/session-board
What it is: one small floating window that lists every Claude Code chat running on this computer (terminal, Remote Control, Claude Desktop). Each chat gets a card that keeps a live stand-up:
- ✓ what it just finished
- ▶ what it's doing now
- ○ what's next, with "waits on you" on anything blocked on me
- ↪ a side task, when I've sent it off on a detour
Also:
- Cards are ordered: needs me, then working, then idle.
- A small popup tile shows when a chat needs me or finishes.
- Clicking a chat's name opens it.
- Control-Option-S shows or hides the window.
- Optional sounds; light and dark.
Needs: Claude Code 2.1.287+, and macOS 15+ with Apple's command-line tools (`xcode-select --install`), Windows 10/11, or a 64-bit Linux desktop.
Install (run these for me):
claude plugin marketplace add KiranPothana/session-board claude plugin install session-board@session-board
Then I start a new Claude Code session, or type /session-board in one. The first time, it gets the window app ready (on a Mac it builds it in under a minute; on Windows and Linux it downloads it and checks its checksum) and opens it. Chats already running show up too.
Cost: the summaries are small Sonnet calls billed to my Claude account (about 2,000 tokens in, a few per turn). They can be turned off in Settings. Everything else stays on my computer. Bug reports are sent only when I say "report" (or click Report), and never include anything from my chats.
Update: `claude plugin update session-board@session-board`. Uninstall: `claude plugin uninstall session-board@session-board`, then quit it from the menu bar.
Something wrong or an idea? Tell Claude in any session and say "report", or open https://github.com/KiranPothana/session-board/issues
<!-- /ai-overview -->
One floating window on your computer (Mac, Windows or Linux) that lists every Claude Code session you have running (in the terminal, over Remote Control, and in Claude Desktop) with what each one is working on, what is still to do, and which ones need you.
It's a Claude Code mod plus a small window app: on a Mac a native one the plugin builds the first time you use it, on Windows and Linux one the plugin downloads (and checks) the first time.
hooks/session-title.mjs, on UserPromptSubmit) sets the name, since Claude Code lets only such hooks set a session's title.You don't need Claude Desktop. With terminal sessions only, the window works the same; it just has no Desktop session to highlight.
xcode-select --install). It's tested with Swift 6.4 on macOS 27.Everything works on a Mac. On Windows and Linux, the board, summaries, popups, sounds, dismiss, colours and Settings are the same; some things depend on what the system lets an app see:
| Mac | Windows | Linux X11 | Linux Wayland | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Floats over other windows, shortcut from any app | yes | yes | yes | no: open it from the tray |
| Highlights the Claude Desktop chat you're in | yes | yes | (no Claude Desktop) | no |
| Highlights the terminal session you're in | Terminal, iTerm2 by tab; others by window | by window | by window | no |
| Click a name to go to a terminal session | its tab (Terminal, iTerm2), else its app | its app | its app (with xdotool) | no |
| Hide when you switch away from Claude | yes | yes | yes | no |
| Your own shortcut and your own sounds | yes | yes | yes | sounds yes; no global shortcut |
| A right-hand ⌥, ⌘ or ⌃ tapped on its own as the shortcut | yes | no | no | no |
claude plugin marketplace add KiranPothana/session-board
claude plugin install session-board@session-board
Then start a new Claude Code session, or type /session-board in one.
~/Applications/Session Board.app (under a minute) and opens it. It builds again only when an update changes the app's source.app/release.json (part of the plugin; a download that doesn't match is thrown away), and starts it. Windows: %LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\Session Board. Linux: ~/.local/share/session-board/app. When several sessions start together, one installs it: an install.lock file in that folder, which only one session can create, holds the others off, and each download goes under a name of its own.To update: claude plugin update session-board@session-board.
On a Mac the window asks for these permissions (Windows and Linux ask for none):
The app is signed ad hoc unless you have an Apple Development certificate. An ad hoc rebuild after an update counts as a new app to macOS. If the highlight stops following Claude Desktop after an update, turn Session Board off and on again in the Accessibility list.
Summary calls: the plugin asks Sonnet (low effort) for each session's short active/pending list:
Each call is small: about 2,000 tokens in and 100 out.
That's a few small calls per turn, per session, billed to your Claude account like the rest of your Claude Code use.
Everything else stays on your Mac.
