Independent macOS client for Claude Code users. Not affiliated with Anthropic.
A native macOS app, designed to feel like Claude, and to go where no window can.
Sticky for Claude uses the same window technique as Spotlight, so its windows stay visible over fullscreen Spaces, where every other “always on top” tool gives up. Your notes, editor or design tool keeps the whole screen; Claude floats on top with rich, readable answers, images included.
Open several sticky notes at once, one per project, task or topic, and keep every conversation visible at the same time. Each window remembers its place, and your full history stays on your Mac.
Pin a window to a project folder and drive the real Claude Code: slash commands, tool traces, permission modes. Prefer the raw experience? Open a terminal window instead, the actual CLI, floating beside your fullscreen IDE.
Always on top doesn’t mean always in your face. Windows can fade to near-invisible when your mouse leaves them, or after a few seconds of inactivity, and come right back the moment you hover. You choose the behavior and the opacity, or turn it off entirely.
Double-tap ⌘ from any app and your windows appear; double-tap again to hide. Prefer a classic shortcut? ⌘⇧H works too, customizable.
Every conversation is saved on your Mac. Reopen any past chat in a new window with its complete context.
Pick model and effort per message, watch context usage and plan limits in one click. Runs on your own Claude subscription.
No account, no server-side chat storage. Conversations live only on your Mac. Available in 8 languages.
Try everything free for 7 days. Keep it forever with a single purchase, no subscription.
Yes. Sticky for Claude drives your own Claude Code installation with your Anthropic account (Pro/Max subscription or API key). Nothing extra to pay per message to us.
Personal use, just for yourself and without automation: a Claude subscription (Pro or Max) is fine.
A business, a team, or any automated workflow: you must use Anthropic API billing (pay as you go). Claude Pro and Max subscriptions are for individual, personal use only; they are not for automation or organizational use. Either way, your use of Claude is subject to Anthropic's terms.
It creates non-activating panels with the window flags Apple designed for auxiliary overlays, the same technique Spotlight uses. No hacks, and the floating itself requires no special permissions. (Only the optional double-⌘ gesture asks for Accessibility, since it listens for the ⌘ key system-wide.)
Only on your Mac, as plain JSON files in your Application Support folder. There is no cloud component, the app only sends anonymous launch and usage pings, at most one of each per day (no content, no personal data), so we can count active installs and daily active users.
The app asks for a license key, purchased once via a secure Stripe checkout. Your key is shown right after payment (and tied to your email). Your history and settings stay untouched.
No. Sticky for Claude is an independent app. “Claude” is a trademark of Anthropic, PBC, used here to describe compatibility.
