Frequently Asked Questions
No, VibeStatus is specifically designed for Claude Code (the CLI/terminal version). It uses Claude Code's hook system to receive status updates.
Not at all. VibeStatus is extremely lightweight (~2MB) and uses virtually no CPU. It simply reads status files that Claude Code writes — no heavy background processes.
Yes! Click the gear icon in the menu bar dropdown to access settings. You can choose different sounds for each status change, adjust volumes, or disable sounds entirely.
Absolutely. VibeStatus is 100% local — no analytics, no tracking, no network requests. Your data never leaves your Mac. The source code is open on GitHub for full transparency.
It tracks all sessions automatically and shows an aggregated status with the count (e.g., "Working (3)"). If any session needs input, that takes priority so you never miss a prompt.
