A desktop buddy for Claude Code & Codex

One session,one slime.

Every Claude Code and Codex session turns into a squishy slime that roams above your taskbar or Dock. It sweats while it works, hops when it needs you, and beams when it’s done.

winget install gloopico

Card view

Every session, at a glance.

One card per session. Not into wandering slimes? Just use the window.

  • Model, context, tokens

    Model up top, context in a little bar, tokens while it works. Desktop slimes can show the model too.

  • Know when limits reset

    The card says “resets at 03:17” — then a full battery when you’re good to go.

  • One click to the session

    Click a card to jump straight to that session’s terminal or editor window.

  • Subagents show up too

    Little slimes stand on either side of their parent.

  • Keep it small as a widget

    A compact list or tiles, see-through if you like, always on top.

Park it wherever you like and it waits right there. One click takes you to that session.

How it works

Your terminal works. So does your slime.

Scroll to follow one session, start to finish.

  1. 01

    A session starts

    Run claude and a slime drops from the sky. Nothing to do yet? It strolls and hums.

  2. 02

    Hard at work

    Send a prompt — a nod, and off it bounces, sweating. Beside its head: the tool in use — magnifier, pencil, test tube, hammer, even a git branch.

  3. 03

    Needs you

    Needs your OK? It hops in place with a ❗ and an orange name tag — hard to miss.

  4. 04

    All done

    Pushed? A rocket takes off. Finished? A ✓ and a big smile. Click the slime to jump straight to that session’s window.

  5. 05

    Subagents tag along

    Each subagent becomes a same-colored little slime that tags along — some with a tiny prop — while the big one waits with a guide flag.

  6. 06

    Zzz

    Left alone for a while, it melts into a nap. Poke it to wake it up.

Questions

Is it really free?

Yes. Every feature is free. If you support the project, you get supporter-only accessories as a thank-you.

Can I dress them up?

Right-click → Customize to change the name tag, body color, accessory and size. Unlocking achievements opens up new accessories one by one.

Where do my chats go?

Nowhere. Gloopico reads status files and transcripts on your machine — your chats are never sent anywhere.

Does Gloopico collect any data?

Just one anonymous count. The first time an installed copy starts, it tells the server its OS, app version and language, once. There is no device ID and the IP address isn’t stored, so the number can’t be traced back to you. Besides that, the app only goes online to check GitHub for updates and, when you redeem a coupon, to send the code with a random device ID, OS, version and language.

How do I connect it?

On first launch, “Integrations” opens. Press “Connect” — done. Restart sessions that are already running (for Claude, opening /hooks once also works).

Will it get in my way?

Clicks pass straight through to the window behind unless you’re on a slime. They hang out at the bottom of the screen (unless you pin them elsewhere), and every sound can be turned off.

Will my PC fall asleep mid-task?

It can — turn on the cup button in the main window to keep it awake, only while working or always. It’s off by default.

I have several monitors.

Slimes can roam across all of them — walking over the seam or hopping through a portal.

Does it work with Codex?

Yes. A slime shows up as soon as you start Codex and follows along from your first prompt.

How do I uninstall it?

Press “Disconnect” in Settings → Integrations, then delete the app.
