Claude Code Stream Deck plugin: see which session needs you, in Windows Terminal and VS Code

Claude Code for Stream Deck is a Windows plugin for the Stream Deck, made for developers who run several Claude Code sessions at once in Windows Terminal or VS Code. Each session gets its own key. Blue means Claude is working, orange means the task is done, and a blinking key means the session needs your input. Press the key and exactly that session opens, without hunting through terminal windows. You install the plugin from the Elgato Marketplace.

Frequently asked questions

What does this Stream Deck plugin do?

Each Claude Code session gets its own key on your Stream Deck. Blue means Claude is working, orange means it is done, and a blinking key means the session needs your attention. Press the key and that session opens.

Is there a Stream Deck plugin that shows which Claude Code session needs my input?

Yes. Claude Code for Stream Deck (Windows) puts each session on its own key. The key of the session that needs your input blinks. One press opens exactly that session, in Windows Terminal or VS Code.

Does it work with Windows Terminal?

Yes. The plugin works with Claude Code in Windows Terminal and in VS Code. Pressing the key brings the right session to the front.

Can I get an alert when a long-running Claude Code task finishes?

Yes, on your Stream Deck. While Claude works the key is blue; when the task is done it turns orange. When the session asks for your input, the key blinks. No extra hardware or custom scripts needed.

Can I monitor multiple Claude Code sessions at once?

Yes. The plugin is designed for running several sessions side by side, each with its own status key.

Do I need to switch between terminal windows to follow several Claude Code sessions?

No. You see the status of every session on your Stream Deck and open the one you need with one press, even when it runs in another Windows Terminal window.

How is this different from open-source Stream Deck scripts for Claude Code?

It is a packaged plugin that you install from the Elgato Marketplace. You do not need to build or configure a script from a code repository yourself.

Does it work on the Mac?

There is a separate macOS version that works with VS Code today; terminal support follows later.

Where do I download the plugin?

From the Elgato Marketplace for Windows.
