# Shiplings guides

What Shiplings does, one subject at a time. Each page answers one question and says plainly what the app cannot do.

- [Getting notified when Claude Code needs you](https://shiplings.app/claude-code-notifications.md): How to know the moment Claude Code finishes or needs an answer, using its own hooks. No polling, no terminal to watch.
- [Seeing what a Claude Code session actually cost](https://shiplings.app/claude-code-token-usage.md): Read Claude Code's own session files to total tokens by project and by model, and see what a sprint cost in agent time.
- [Which coding agents Shiplings watches](https://shiplings.app/coding-agents.md): Claude Code, Codex and Cursor: how each one is watched, what it reports, and the one signal Cursor cannot give.
- [A Mac app that asks for nothing](https://shiplings.app/mac-app-no-permissions.md): No server, no account, no sensitive macOS permission. What that rules out, and what it made possible instead.
- [What a menu bar companion is, and why it is not a dashboard](https://shiplings.app/menu-bar-companion.md): The case against another dashboard: a character that tells you where things stand without asking for your attention.
