You pinned a dozen chats in Claude, and a few Codex chats in ChatGPT. One is planning your trip, one is fixing a test, one finished ten minutes ago and you haven't looked. Kikumap sits in your menu bar and keeps track of both: what's running, what's done, what needs your OK. Open it and your pinned chats are laid out as a mind map that you arrange, MindNode-style. A desktop widget shows the same at a glance, with your Claude and ChatGPT usage.

Native and featherlight. Swift and AppKit only: no Electron, no web view, no helper processes, no third-party code (its line icons are from Lucide, ISC). A small download that mostly waits for changes (with a light check every half minute), and stops drawing entirely when its window is hidden.

Good to know. The Claude app has no public API, so Kikumap reads its window through macOS Accessibility; ChatGPT's threads come from the files its desktop app keeps on your Mac. When either app changes, parts of Kikumap may stop working until it's updated. Kikumap is an independent project, not made by or affiliated with Anthropic or OpenAI.
