Best Claude HUD

Best Claude HUD keeps session and repository information visible for developers working in Claude Code's terminal interface. It helps you check the active model, available context and working tree without leaving the conversation.

• Model and reasoning effort: See the active Claude model and reasoning effort when available, with custom display names and context limits for third-party models.
• Context usage: Track context window consumption through Claude Code's status data, with the active conversation transcript as a fallback.
• Git and workspace: See your branch, uncommitted changes, conflicts and commits ahead of or behind upstream, alongside a project directory that stays tied to where you launched Claude Code.
• Optional session details: Add cost, usage or rate-limit information, session details and output style to the statusline.
• Display customization: Choose which segments appear and use custom themes, including Nerd Font or Powerline styles.

The add-on runs locally on Apple Silicon and Intel Macs, x64 Linux and x64 Windows. It's open source under Apache 2.0 and uses prebuilt native binaries, so it doesn't require Rust. It requires Claude Code with statusline support and an ANSI color terminal. Git supplies repository information, and Nerd Font or Powerline styles require a Nerd Font.
