Claude Outage – Mac Menu Bar Item

SMRTR summary

Claude Status is a minimal macOS menu bar app that polls status.claude.com every 60 seconds and displays Anthropic's service health as a single colored dot — hollow for all-clear, yellow for issues, red for outages. Built in single-file Swift with no dependencies, it supports hiding when everything is green, login launch, and sleep-wake re-checks. Public domain, no attribution needed.
