Meet Rupert

  • A tiny pixel companion that lives on your Mac and keeps you in the loop while your AI agent works.

    Works with Claude Code and Google Gemini. macOS only, for now.

  • For the --yolo & --dangerously-skip-permissions crowd

    You spin up the agent, then you go do something else. That's the whole point. Rupert keeps an eye on things while you're away.

    zsh
    ~ claude --dangerously-skip-permissions
    Running autonomously. No approvals needed.
    ~ gemini --yolo
    Going for it.
    # minimize, go play something
    ~
    You shouldn't have to watch

    Staring at a terminal waiting for your AI to finish is wasted time. Rupert sits in the corner of your screen and lets you know when something actually needs you.

    It asks. You answer. Back to whatever.

    When Claude or Gemini hits a wall — a question, a plan approval, a session limit — Rupert bounces and tells you. You respond, then you're gone again.

    Works while you browse, game, or zone out

    Rupert floats above every window, always visible. It doesn't matter what you're doing — the notification will find you.

    What Rupert Does

    Notifications

    Rupert wakes up and bounces when Claude Code needs your attention — no more missing prompts in the background.

    7 Personalities

    Choose from Rupert, Blobby, Golem, Foxel, Sentinel, Starbit, or Droplet. Each has their own pixel look and personality.

    Always Visible

    Floats in a corner above all windows. Never loses focus. Never in the way. Drag it anywhere on screen.

    Supports Claude & Gemini

    Get CLI notifications from both CLI. Color coded texts to differentiate.
