GearMate

GearMate is a macOS menu-bar utility designed to enhance your live Claude Code sessions by providing intuitive model switching. Key features include: • Physical stick shift interface for model selection • Instant model switching via tmux pane commands • Remappable gears for custom model assignments • Token-per-minute display for active model • Quick return to default model with 'R' gear This tool allows developers to quickly switch between different Claude models (Haiku, Sonnet, Opus) based on the task at hand, optimizing for speed or complexity. For instance, assign Haiku to first gear for rapid lint fixes, Sonnet to second for daily coding, and Opus to fourth for intensive refactors or debugging. The tactile H-gate interface promotes muscle memory and streamlines your coding workflow without interrupting ongoing prompts. GearMate is ideal for developers and engineers who use Claude Code and tmux, seeking to maximize efficiency and cost-effectiveness by selecting the most appropriate model for each specific task. Preview model changes with a dry run and ensure you're always in the right "gear" for your development needs. This independent tool enhances productivity by putting precise control over your coding assistant directly at your fingertips.
