Clive v1.0.6

What's Changed

• Remove dependency on expect by using native PTY spawning
• App is now signed and notarized - no more Gatekeeper warnings!

Technical Details

• Native PTY: Replaced the expect script with direct POSIX PTY APIs (posix_openpt, posix_spawn). Claude is now spawned directly with a pseudo-terminal, eliminating the dependency on /usr/bin/expect.
• Code Signing: Release builds are now signed with Developer ID Application certificate.
• Notarization: App is notarized by Apple and includes a stapled ticket, so macOS Gatekeeper will trust it immediately.

Installation

Download the zip, extract, and drag Clive.app to your Applications folder. The app is now notarized, so it should open without any Gatekeeper warnings.

Clive v1.0.5

What's Changed

• Fix claude process leak by killing entire process tree
• Use SwiftTerm library for proper ANSI terminal rendering, fixing display of "Current session" text
• Add About dialog with author info, GitHub link, and license information
• Add unit tests for usage output parsing
• Make log window resizable (opens as separate window)
• Show weekly reset time in menu bar dropdown

Details

• Process leak fix: Previously, terminating a refresh would only kill the expect process, leaving spawned claude child processes orphaned. The app now properly kills the entire process tree.
• ANSI rendering: Replaced custom ANSI parser with SwiftTerm, a proper VT100/Xterm terminal emulator, which correctly handles cursor movement sequences in Claude CLI output.
• About dialog: Added accessible author and license information via Settings > About button.

Installation

After downloading and unzipping, you may see a "damaged" warning from macOS Gatekeeper. To fix this, run in Terminal:
