What’s new: A DIY project has transformed a Moonside LED lamp into a live status indicator for Claude Code, using color codes to represent different states: navy for working, sunset mango for idle, and purple for needing user input. The mod is compatible with macOS via Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) and is best suited for the Moonside Halo lamp.
Who’s affected
This project primarily affects users of Claude Code who want a visual status indicator without being tethered to their monitors. It is specifically designed for owners of Moonside LED lamps, particularly the Halo model.
What to do
- Visit the GitHub project page by bobek-balinek for setup instructions and code: Claude Lamp GitHub.
- Ensure you have a compatible Moonside lamp and a macOS device to utilize the BLE functionality.
- Follow the setup guide to configure the lamp as a status indicator for Claude Code.
