Description
DockTerm wraps your real Claude Code session in a desktop terminal. munu, a small face in the Mac notch (a pill on Windows and Linux), shows Claude's permission prompts over any app, even fullscreen ones, so you answer without switching windows. Also: live subagent view, diff review, simple Git, split panes. Free, MIT, local only: no account, no telemetry. macOS, Windows, Linux.

Could you build this?
Partial While terminal wrappers are achievable, anchoring an always-on floating status UI directly into the native macOS notch across fullscreen spaces requires complex native macOS API hooks.
What it would actually take: The architecture requires an Electron or Swift/AppKit desktop app utilizing low-level macOS Accessibility APIs, CGWindow levels, and screen frame calculations to sit flush with the hardware notch. It requires spawning and IPC-piping the Claude Code terminal process via pseudo-terminals (pty) and parsing raw ANSI escape sequences to reliably detect confirmation prompts. Skilled Swift/macOS systems programming is required to handle window-level quirks across virtual desktops and multiple displays.
