A macOS menu bar utility that tracks your Claude Code, Gemini CLI, and Codex sessions in one place. See what's running, what's idle, and what's done — without switching windows.
Whiplash lives in your menu bar and tracks tasks across all your concurrent development contexts.
Press ⌥⇧T from anywhere to instantly open Whiplash. Add tasks without leaving your editor or terminal.
Automatically detects running Claude Code sessions and links tasks to their context. No manual tagging needed.
Lives in your menu bar as a lightweight popover. No dock icon, no window management, no distractions.
Standalone Swift CLI script shares the same task file. Add and manage tasks from any terminal session.
All data stored in ~/.whiplash.json. No accounts, no cloud sync, no telemetry. Your tasks stay on your machine.
Pure Swift & SwiftUI. No CocoaPods, no SPM packages, no Electron. Just a fast, native macOS app.
