VibeStatus v1.5 - Project Names in Multi-Terminal View

Jan 17, 2026View on GitHub

Improved Multi-Terminal Display

Now shows project names for each Claude session when running multiple terminals.

What's New


  • Individual session rows - Each Claude session gets its own row in the widget

  • Project names - See the folder name for each session (e.g., "MyApp", "Backend")

  • Color-coded indicators - Each session shows its own status color

  • Compact layout - Efficient multi-session display
  • Screenshot


    When running multiple Claude sessions, the widget shows:
    ● MyApp      working
    ● Backend ready
    ● Frontend input

    Note: After updating, re-run setup (click gear icon) to update the hook script for project name detection.

    Features


  • Aggregated status display (shows count when multiple sessions active)

  • Per-session status files for independent tracking

  • Status priority: Input needed > Working > Idle

    Each Claude terminal session writes its status to a unique file. VibeStatus monitors all session files and shows the aggregated status.
