NowBat
Your turn, on time
Free · In‑App Purchases
A cute bat that sleeps while your Claude window burns and wakes you the second it resets — with a kickoff queue and a window-aware pomodoro to match.
It's your turn.
Claude gives you a 5-hour window that starts with your first message, and a weekly cap above it. NowBat is the little bat that keeps watch: it sleeps while your window burns, stirs when the reset is close, and wakes you the moment your limits refresh — so you never lose a turn you paid for.
THE BAT KNOWS
• Live countdowns for the 5-hour window and the weekly limit
• A heads-up 15 minutes before reset, and a nudge the second it lands
• Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets, Live Activity in the Dynamic Island, StandBy at your desk, and an Apple Watch app with complications
• Tell it your limits two honest ways: paste Claude's own /usage panel (NowBat reads the exact numbers), or just tap Start with your first message
THE KICKOFF QUEUE
Ideas arrive while your window is burning. Jot them into the queue — with project, repo path and branch — and when your turn comes, one tap composes everything into a paste-ready kickoff for a fresh session. Thinking happens on your schedule; typing happens on Claude's.
A POMODORO THAT KNOWS YOUR WINDOW (PRO)
"Four focuses fit before the reset." One tap starts the chain: auto-breaks, task linking, focus noise, streaks and stats — with a focus Live Activity of its own. The bat sleeps while you work. Don't wake it.
MEET THE BATS
Six hand-tuned faces — Classic, Cub, Plush, moonlit Luna, vampire Count and golden Zar. Every one is animated, reacts when you poke it, and swings with real physics when you tilt your phone.
WITH A MAC BY ITS SIDE (PRO)
Add NowBat on your Mac and the pasting disappears: the menu-bar companion reads Claude Code's local transcripts, detects your window automatically, estimates burn, and syncs it here through your iCloud.
NOWBAT PRO — ONE PURCHASE, NO SUBSCRIPTION
The core app is free and complete. Pro ($14.99, once, family-shareable, valid on iPhone, iPad and Mac together) adds the pomodoro suite, Mac auto-sync, multiple accounts, self-calibrating burn prediction, per-model cost analytics, iCloud sync, calendar-fitted focus sessions and the four extra bat faces.
PRIVATE BY ARCHITECTURE
No accounts. No analytics. No servers. Your data lives on your devices and — only if you enable sync — in your own iCloud. NowBat never sees your conversations.
Why "NowBat"? In Persian, nobat means "your turn" — the word villages used when a sinking bowl-clock divided the irrigation water. Claude works the same way. The bat just makes sure you're awake for it.
