Claude Code Sidebar

A task queue that runs alongside Claude Code in your terminal. Queue up tasks while Claude is working, hit Enter to send them, and the sidebar automatically detects when Claude finishes. Tasks persist across sessions and get logged to a history file—so you have a record of everything you've asked Claude to do. Tasks are displayed in a single list ordered by priority, with stars marking Claude's top recommendations. It integrates with Claude Code so you can reference your queue directly in conversation. Started as a tmux split pane experiment, then evolved to use iTerm2 with osascript for a smoother experience. Built with Bun.

It's now open source—check out the GitHub repo to try it yourself or contribute.
