craftzdog/tmux-claude-session-manager

tmux-claude-session-manager is an MIT-licensed tmux plugin (and a pair of small bash scripts) that gives any tmux user a single popup to list, preview, and jump to all of their running Claude Code sessions. Each session is shown with a live status (working / waiting / idle) driven by Claude Code hooks, a live preview of the current screen, and a keybinding to kill finished ones in place. Requires
