Crew is a desktop utility for macOS designed to bring visual life to your Claude Code chats and subagents.

By assigning every agent a digital companion, Crew places animated pixel monsters along the bottom of your screen. These little characters respond dynamically to what your AI agent is doing, giving you an at-a-glance status update on background tasks without needing to constantly check terminal output:

Digging: Indicates the agent is actively working on a task.
Sleeping: Shows that the agent is currently idle.
Waving: Signals that the execution or response is complete.

Crew is completely free for macOS. Built with privacy in mind, the app operates strictly locally, ensuring that no data or code ever leaves your Mac.
