Community Voice & Feedback
the Allow/Deny buttons on the creature are the sneaky-useful bit, I lose so much time hunting for which window wants something from me. How does it behave when it needs approval: does it freeze my window and wait or just sit there until I notice?@ravindra_sisodia1 congrats, this is lovely!
hehhe loved it! All the best here Ravindra
Hey Product Hunt 👋
I'm a designer, and this year I basically live inside Claude Code — usually with
four or five chats going at once. It works, but it's invisible. You sit there
watching a spinner and you genuinely can't tell whether something is thinking,
stuck waiting on you, or finished ten minutes ago.
So I gave every one of them a body.
Crew puts one little pixel monster along the bottom of your screen per Claude Code
chat and subagent. It digs while it edits, scribbles while it writes, pants when
a command is long, droops when something failed, and curls up and sleeps when
you've stopped. Subagents walk behind their parent like a small family. When a
chat needs your permission to run a command, its creature holds up the command
with Allow and Deny — you approve it right there, without hunting for the window.
It's the fastest peripheral read on "what are my agents doing" that I've managed
to build. I stopped alt-tabbing to check.
Some honest notes:
▪ macOS 13+, Apple Silicon and Intel. Needs Claude Code, and nothing else at all:
no Homebrew, no command-line tools, no Terminal. Download, drag it in, click
Connect and it wires up its own Claude Code hooks (keeping any you already
have, with a backup).
▪ Nothing leaves your Mac. No accounts, no network calls, no telemetry. The
whole thing runs off local marker files the Claude Code hooks drop in /tmp.
▪ It's free. All of it, today. There's a paid tier coming later for the extras,
but nothing you can see right now gets taken away when it lands.
▪ It isn't notarised yet — I haven't paid Apple the $99 — so a browser download
gets flagged and the first launch needs right-click → Open. If you'd rather skip
that, the terminal one-liner on the site avoids it entirely (curl doesn't
quarantine what it fetches). The SHA-256 is published next to the download.
▪ The six species are all original — drawn pixel by pixel in code, not sprites
from anywhere else.
Built solo in Swift, with Claude Code, over a few weeks of evenings. Happy to
answer anything about the hooks, the pixel art, or how the physics ball works.
