Status Bar

ClaudeCode CLI Pack adds a status bar at the bottom of Claude Code that shows live session info:

Opus 4.6 | context used:23% | my-project | total tokens:45K | duration:12m | /Users/me/my-project

Field	What it shows	Colors
Model	Active Claude model (e.g. "Opus 4.6")	Green = Opus, Yellow = Sonnet/Haiku
Context used	% of context window consumed	Green = under 40%, Yellow = 40–69%, Red = 70%+
Project	Current folder name	Cyan
Total tokens	Combined input + output tokens	Yellow
Duration	Session time (e.g. "12m" or "1:30")	Gray
Full path	Complete working directory path	Gray

Tip: Watch the context used field — when it turns red (70%+), Claude is running low on context and may start forgetting earlier parts of the conversation. Consider starting a new session.

Installation

Windows

Download Kivun_Terminal_Setup.exe
Run as Administrator - follow the wizard
Double-click the "Kivun Terminal" desktop shortcut

The installer auto-detects what you already have and skips it.

macOS

Download Kivun_Terminal_Setup_<version>.pkg
Right-click the .pkg file → Open (required because the package is unsigned — macOS will block a regular double-click)
Enter your password when prompted — the installer needs admin access to install Homebrew, Node.js, Git, and Claude Code
Open Terminal (Applications → Utilities → Terminal) and type claude

What happens during install: The .pkg runs a script that installs Homebrew (the macOS package manager), then uses it to install Node.js and Git, then installs Claude Code via npm. Everything is downloaded fresh — no binaries are bundled. An internet connection is required.

First time using Claude Code? You'll need a Claude account (Pro/Max) or Anthropic API key. Claude will ask for it on first launch.

Terminal Demo

A Note on RTL Support (v1.05 only)

The first version of Kivun Terminal 1.05 included a custom RTL text-reversal fix that made Hebrew and Arabic display correctly in the terminal. Since then, Claude has released a built-in RTL fix, so the current version uses Claude's native implementation instead.

Regardless of RTL, the installer saves significant setup time and adds features (status bar, light blue theme, desktop shortcut, folder picker) that make it worthwhile on its own.

Disclaimer: Text alignment is left-to-right, but the text itself is fully readable.

Differences between the original RTL fix and Claude's built-in fix

	Original (v1.05)	Current (Claude's built-in)
Hebrew/Arabic display	Reversed per-line	Reversed natively
Copy Hebrew text from terminal	Worked correctly	May copy in visual order
Parentheses/brackets direction	Displayed correctly	May appear reversed
Mixed Hebrew + English	Could break ordering	Preserves original order

The original fix had its own trade-offs — mixed Hebrew/English lines didn't always maintain the correct order. We hope Claude will continue improving their built-in RTL support to address the remaining edge cases.

For developers: If you prefer the original RTL approach, you're welcome to fork this repo and build on it.
