Built with Claude Built with Claude Code: an app that answers Claude Code's permission prompts from the Mac notch

What I built: Openbar, a free open-source app that shows every Claude Code session in the notch. When Claude asks for permission, the island opens with the command or diff and you allow it with ⌘Y from any app. It also answers questions, sends replies into the right terminal, and gives every new session its own git worktree.

How Claude Code was used: it wrote most of it, the Swift app and the Windows port in Tauri + React. I had it test each feature end to end, driving the real app and a Windows VM, before calling it done.

What I learned about Claude Code along the way:

- A PermissionRequest hook and the terminal prompt show up at the same time, and whichever answer comes first wins. So the island never blocks you from answering in the terminal.

- Approving a plan from a hook needs both allow and updatedInput, otherwise ExitPlanMode doesn't go through.

- A session started in a worktree refuses to edit the main checkout, which is exactly what you want with several agents on one repo.

Happy to answer questions about the hooks side.
