For Mac · Free
Air traffic control for your coding agents.
Kairos watches every coding session on your Mac, whichever tool runs it. It knows what each account has left, when it resets, and which session is waiting for you.
Apple silicon and Intel
Or with Homebrew: brew install --cask matih-labs/tap/kairos
What it does
One list
Claude Code, Codex and other tools together, each session with its account, plan and state.
The week ahead
Each account's five-hour and weekly limits, forecast, so you know before work stops.
Pause and resume
Before an account runs out, its sessions stop where they can pick up, and carry on when limits return.
Baton
Hands a task from one tool to another, with what was done so far.
Night Shift
While you are away, the chores you wrote run on capacity that would expire. Branches only, and a brief in the morning.
On your iPhone and iPad
Kairos Code shows every session and the one waiting for you, at home or away, end-to-end encrypted. Coming to the App Store.
What's new in 2.0.66
- Accounts: Kairos no longer moves your sessions to a weekly account for the last few dollars of its week. A week goes first only when what it would otherwise leave unused is worth more than moving to it costs.
- Claude in Chrome: before a session uses Claude in Chrome, Kairos opens that account's Chrome and waits until it is connected, so the call no longer finds it closed and fails with "Browser extension is not connected". It is on once you have set up a Kairos Chrome; turn it off in Settings, under Accounts. New sessions do this.
- Uninstalling Kairos from the command line now takes its link opener and its Claude in Chrome step out of your Claude Code settings, and puts back the browser setting you had.
Three steps, no Terminal.
Kairos needs Claude Code on your Mac; the login it already has becomes your first account.
- 1
Download Kairos, open it, and drag Kairos onto Applications.
- 2
Open Kairos from Applications. The first time, macOS asks whether to open an app from the internet: click Open.
- 3
Click Set Up Kairos. It adds two background items and, if your Mac has none, downloads Python, so it needs the internet; then it walks you through your accounts.
That is the last download: Kairos keeps itself up to date.
Your data stays on your devices.
Kairos has no account of its own and keeps nothing of yours on a server. It reads what your tools already keep on your Mac, and talks only to the services you use, with your own sign-in. Away from home, your iPhone reaches your Mac through Kairos's relay, which passes only encrypted messages it cannot read. No analytics and no tracking, on this page too. Privacy policy
