Overview

CLI Assistant keeps you plugged into your AI coding CLI sessions (Claude Code, Codex, and more) from a clean desktop app, so you can step away from the terminal without losing the thread. Get live session monitoring, desktop notifications you can reply to inline, and an AI chat dock with persistent memory.

It runs quietly in the background, updates itself silently, and stays out of your way until you need it. Free to use — claim your license key and download it straight from this page.

• Live session monitoring and autopilot
• Desktop notifications with inline responses
• Assistant AI chat with persistent memory
• Auto-updating with silent installs

Stay on top of your sessions

CLI Assistant watches your Claude Code sessions and surfaces them in a clean desktop dock, so you can step away from the terminal without losing the thread — live session status at a glance.

Notifications you can reply to

When a session needs you, CLI Assistant raises a desktop notification — and you can respond inline without switching back to the terminal.

Assistant chat

The built-in AI chat dock keeps persistent memory across sessions, so context carries over. It lives in the tray and stays out of your way until you open it.

Use it with Claude Code

CLI Assistant watches your Claude Code sessions automatically — just keep it running and start coding. It surfaces session status, notifications, and the chat dock with no extra setup in your terminal.

Keep it in your tray

CLI Assistant is built to run quietly in the system tray. Closing the window keeps it monitoring in the background, and it updates itself silently so you're always on the latest version.

Install & activate

Download CLI Assistant above (or from your account), run the installer, and launch it. On first run, paste your license key from your account to activate — it binds to this computer. The full account, key, and install walkthrough is in the getting-started guide.
