Clawy, a companion device to track your Claude Code sessions

Hey HN! I wanted to show this tiny JRPG style hardware companion I built that shows what your Claude Code is doing. When Claude runs a tool, Clawy runs. When it's done, Clawy jumps up in joy. Shake the device and Clawy gets dazed! When Claude needs permission to run something, it shows the command and context like a video game quest scrolling text on screen and you can approve/deny with physical buttons.

What it does

In the maker’s words, at launch

Hey HN! I wanted to show this tiny JRPG style hardware companion I built that shows what your Claude Code is doing. When Claude runs a tool, Clawy runs. When it's done, Clawy jumps up in joy. Shake the device and Clawy gets dazed! When Claude needs permission to run something, it shows the command and context like a video game quest scrolling text on screen and you can approve/deny with physical buttons. He runs on a $20 M5StickC Plus 2. Flashing takes 2 minutes from the browser at clawy.lol/flash, no Arduino IDE needed. It uses Claude Code's native hook system over local WiFi and nothing leaves your network. I built this as a prototype for myself because I wanted to keep track of my sessions while looking at other things in and around the house and not wanting to use terminus. So thought it would be a fun thing to make as an experiment. When I got some nice reactions on it I thought I'd make it available for everyone. It's rough around the edges but it works. The repo is here: https://github.com/marcvermeeren/clawy if you want to try it out!
