About this mod

service-radar

Keeps track of services Claude starts in the background and that keep running after the command returns — a Docker Compose stack, a container, the Colima VM or a Homebrew service — and lets you stop them.

Claude Code already lists its own background shells and subagents. What it does not show is a service that detaches: docker compose up -d returns at once, and the stack keeps running unnoticed. This mod fills that gap and stays out of sight otherwise.

| When | What you see | | --- | --- | | Nothing Claude started is running | nothing | | Something is running | one status line entry, services 2 | | You want details | /services opens a pane: name, folder, start time, a Stop button per service, Stop all, Refresh | | /clear while something runs | a dialog listing the services: Stop all or Keep running | | A new session starts while services from an earlier one still run | a toast pointing to /services |

No setup needed.

What is tracked

| Started with | Stopped with | Running check | | --- | --- | --- | | docker compose up -d (also docker-compose) | docker compose down in the same folder, with the same -f, -p and --profile flags | docker compose ps | | docker compose start | docker compose stop, which keeps the containers | docker compose ps | | docker run -d | docker stop <name or id> | docker ps | | docker start <name> | docker stop <name> | docker ps | | colima start [profile] | colima stop [profile] | colima status | | brew services start / run / restart | brew services stop | brew services info --json | | launchctl load | launchctl unload | none — shown with ? and a Forget button | | launchctl bootstrap <domain> <plist> | launchctl bootout <domain> <plist> | none — shown with ? and a Forget button |

Services are matched in chained commands too, including a preceding cd: in cd app && docker compose up -d the stack is tracked in app. A service that was stopped some other way — by you in a terminal, or by Claude running the stop command — drops off the list the next time it is checked.

Details and limits

• The list is kept across sessions, because services outlive them. Exiting Claude Code cannot show a dialog, so the next session reminds you instead.
• Only commands Claude runs through its Bash tool are seen. Services you start yourself are not listed.
• A tracked start is recognised behind sudo, nohup, env and similar prefixes and when sent to the background with &. Other programs sent to the background, such as npm run dev &, are not tracked; Claude Code's own background shells list and stop those.
• Stopping runs in the background after a press, so a slow stop (Colima takes about ten seconds) is never cut short.
• Checks run with a 20-second timeout and never delay the start of a session.

Uninstall

Remove the mod from CLAUDE_CODE_PLUGIN_DIRS. Services it tracked keep running; stop them first with /services if you want them gone.
