About tablo
tablo is a cozy desktop widget designed in the form of a tiny cat that sits unobtrusively in the corner of your screen to keep an eye on your active AI coding sessions. Created by developer Mitul Sheth, tablo addresses a common friction point in modern software development: launching an AI coding agent, switching tabs to work on something else, and accidentally letting the agent sit idle due to context limit exhaustion, tool approval requests, or unexpected errors.
Instead of requiring you to repeatedly switch back to check progress or scroll through static usage dashboards, tablo actively tracks your active sessions across both Claude Code and Codex in real time. It features continuous live context meters that visualize the fill rate of conversation windows per session, giving developers immediate visual clarity into the health and remaining capacity of their active prompts.
Whenever an agent gets stuck, hits a barrier, or requires human tool approvals, tablo provides an instant desktop nudge. Built to offer interactive, real-time feedback without cluttering your workspace, this tiny desktop companion helps developers maintain continuous focus while keeping multi-agent workflows running smoothly.
Pros of tablo
- Real-time tracking of conversation context windows per session
- Instant alerts when AI agents require tool approvals or get stuck
- Supports active monitoring across both Claude Code and Codex
- Unobtrusive, cozy desktop widget design that stays out of your way
Cons of tablo
- Integrations are currently limited specifically to Claude Code and Codex
- Limited documentation available regarding specific OS desktop requirements

About Clarity
Clarity is a high-fidelity, browser-based screen-sharing tool specifically built for sharing detail-heavy content like code, documents, and design work—materials that standard chat applications often blur or compress. It is an ideal solution for developers, designers, and remote teams who need to present sharp, readable visuals without quality loss.
With Clarity, getting started is friction-free: there is no installation and no account creation required. Users can create an expiring room instantly, share a single link, and present their screen to up to 10 viewers. The tool allows hosts to select between text- or motion-optimized modes, approve viewers manually for extra security, and monitor every live connection. To ensure fast performance, streams are routed peer-to-peer whenever possible.
