in plain english

Pookify is a small macOS app that adds a status indicator for Claude Code, styled after the iPhone's Dynamic Island, to the notch area of a MacBook screen. Claude Code is a coding assistant that runs in a terminal or as a VS Code extension, and Pookify gives it a visible presence at the top of the screen so a person can see at a glance what their AI coding sessions are doing. The app works by hooking into events Claude Code already fires: when a tool starts, when a tool finishes, when a turn ends, or when a prompt needs approval. A small compiled helper writes each session's status to a file, and Pookify checks that folder several times a second to draw the island. If several sessions are running at once, the closed bar shows the one that needs attention most, along with a count badge for how many are active. A session waiting for permission shows an amber dot and takes priority over the others. Clicking the island opens a stack showing every running session. Installation is a two step process: cloning the repository, then running an install script that builds the app, adds it to Applications, and wires up the needed hooks in Claude Code's settings file, after backing that file up first. Building from source requires Xcode's Command Line Tools. On MacBooks that do not have a physical notch, Pookify draws its own notch shape at the top of the screen so the experience looks the same. With multiple monitors connected, a user can choose which screen shows the island. The app runs entirely on the user's Mac, makes no network calls, and collects no analytics. It is an independent, unofficial project not affiliated with Anthropic or Apple, and the names Claude Code and Dynamic Island belong to those companies respectively. Pookify itself is released under the MIT license and is offered as a free, non-commercial project.
