# Dashbar

> Dashbar shows which Claude Code and Codex sessions are working, how much of your plan is left, and which dev servers are idling. Free and open source.

Dashbar is a native menu bar app for macOS 14 or later, on Apple silicon and Intel. It reads Claude Code’s and Codex’s session files on the Mac, the listening ports and processes, and the folders you choose. It is free and open source under the MIT licence. The app has no account and no analytics. The current version is 0.7.2.
