Do you ever look at the files Claude Code makes outside your project?

Wait 5 sec.

Hey Guys, So I use Claude Code a lot for most of the day. Sometimes to implement long plan documents I spend hours refining, or just have it perform tasks that span hunting and fixing bugs all the way to implementing new features. What kept bugging me though, along the way, was where some of the output went during its thinking. I'm a visual person, so I like to see what Claude Code is up to; and luckily for us, it tends to create and save quite a few files such as screenshots, artifacts, charts, pages (among more) in directories you can only find outside your project. This makes it less than convenient to go looking for them and in a project or task that involves either iteration or creation, you generally want to see what's happening as it is happening so as to avoid spending too many tokens and time on something Claude Code is clearly not getting. So I built Detego. Detego is a Mac app that picks those files up, grouped by session and then by the prompt that made it, and keeps them readily available for you in a "shelf". This shelf can come in the form of a "Pill" or a "Notch" and it never takes focus away from your terminal. On a Privacy note, the only time Detego sends any information is when you start the trial, activate, deactivate, or check for updates (including automatic checks, if you turn them on). That would include your license key, an anonymous Mac ID, your Mac's name and the app version. No prompts, no file paths, no images. Give Detego a try FREE for 14 days (Needs macOS 14+ and Claude Code 2.1.236 or later) after which it is $15 one-time, updates included. What does Claude Code make for you that you wish you could see without hunting for it? Let me know, I'm always open to feedback.   submitted by   /u/TheLeeWay_ [link]   [comments]
