autoclaude

A TUI app that monitors tmux panes running Claude Code and automatically sends "continue" when rate limits reset.

The Problem

When using Claude Code heavily, you'll hit rate limits. Claude shows a message like:

limit reached ∙ resets 2pm

You then have to wait and manually type "continue" when the limit resets. If you're running multiple Claude Code sessions, this becomes tedious.

The Solution

autoclaude monitors your tmux panes and automatically sends "continue" when the rate limit resets. Just enable auto-continue on the panes you want to monitor, and autoclaude handles the rest.

Installation

Homebrew (macOS/Linux)

brew install henryaj/tap/autoclaude

From source

go install github.com/henryaj/autoclaude@latest

Download binary

Download from Releases.

Usage

1. Start autoclaude in a tmux pane (it must run inside tmux):

autoclaude

1. Use arrow keys to navigate to a Claude Code pane
2. Press tab to enable auto-continue for that pane
3. Leave autoclaude running - it will send "continue" when rate limits reset

Keybindings

Key	Action
←↑↓→	Navigate between panes
tab	Toggle auto-continue for selected pane
a	Enable auto-continue for all Claude Code panes
n	Disable auto-continue for all Claude Code panes
r	Refresh pane layout
h / ?	Show help
q	Quit

Pane Colors

Color	Meaning
Orange	Claude Code pane (auto-continue off)
Green	Claude Code pane (auto-continue on)
Red	Rate limited (waiting for reset time)
Cyan	Selected pane

How It Works

1. autoclaude polls tmux panes every 3 seconds
2. It detects Claude Code by looking for characteristic UI patterns
3. When it finds "limit reached ∙ resets Xpm", it parses the reset time
4. When the reset time passes, it sends: Escape → continue → Enter
5. The pane resumes automatically

Requirements

• tmux (autoclaude must run inside a tmux session)
• Go 1.21+ (if building from source)

Development

# Run tests
go test ./...

# Build
go build

# Run with test pattern (for debugging without hitting rate limits)
