About The Dippy Bird
The Dippy Bird is a desktop utility designed to monitor and interact with Claude Code windows on macOS and Windows. It observes active windows and automatically presses Enter to respond to permission prompts, allowing users to avoid manual intervention. When a decision is required or a task completes, the app signals with a bird call and an amber halo, prompting the user to address the window. The bird can be minimized to a 56-pixel head that remains visible on the desktop, ensuring it is always accessible without obstructing workflow. It floats above all other windows, maintaining visibility regardless of application state. The tool requires no setup, as it automatically detects and tracks Claude Code sessions, displaying their names and statuses beneath the bird. Users can arm or disarm windows with a single click, and the bird’s behavior adjusts based on the selected mode, from fully automatic to selective responses.
