Chronicle lives in your Mac’s menu bar so you can reach your sessions without switching away from whatever you are working in. A single global hotkey drops down a 480px popover showing your live, recent, and pinned sessions for the active provider. From there you can resume a session, switch providers, or dismiss the popover — all without touching the main window.Documentation Index

The dropdown is scoped to the active provider. Provider tiles at the top of the popover let you switch between Claude, Codex, and Gemini without opening the main window. Tapping a tile immediately updates the live, recent, and pinned session lists for that provider.Provider tiles only appear for providers that have at least one indexed session on disk. If a CLI has never been run on your Mac, its tile is not rendered.
