Armada: one menu-bar window for all your Claude Code and Codex sessions
Mac menu-bar app that watches every Claude Code, Codex and Grok Build session across accounts and vendors — live state, context fill, and 5-hour/7-day plan limits with forecasts.
Why it matters
Reads only what agents already write to disk (no proxy, no credentials) and can hand a session off to another account when one plan runs out — the missing fleet view for agent power users.
What you could build with it
Pair Armada's local MCP supervisor endpoint with a scheduled Claude Code session that triages which of your 20 running agents needs attention.
Does it hold up?
Too early to judge — launched today at $14.99 one-time with a 30-minute trial; only the vendor's demo captures and launch thread exist. The 'make audit' privacy claims are verifiable in principle but untested by third parties.
