FAQ

What is NoIdleClaude?

A macOS menu bar app that monitors your Claude Code terminal sessions in real-time. It shows which sessions are working, waiting for input, or idle โ€” and alerts you with sound and visual notifications.

What terminals are supported?

Terminal.app and iTerm2. NoIdleClaude detects Claude Code sessions regardless of which terminal you use.

Is it safe? What permissions does it need?

NoIdleClaude reads session data from ~/.claude/sessions/ (read-only). It needs Accessibility permission to read terminal output and switch windows. It does not send any data externally โ€” everything stays on your Mac.

What happens when the trial expires?

After 30 days, NoIdleClaude stops monitoring sessions. You can extend the trial once (+3 days) or buy a license to continue.

Can I use it on multiple Macs?

Yes. Each license key can be activated on up to 3 Macs.

How do I get a refund?

Email msaint@rimnexo.com within 30 days of purchase for a full refund, no questions asked.
