Boris the dog

Boris

A small collection of open source utilities and projects, mostly for Windows.
Each one does one thing, ships independently, and has its own releases.

Boris Code Status

A Windows tray app that shows what Claude Code is doing — working, idle, or waiting for your permission — and how much of your five-hour and weekly quota is left. A pixel-art dog (or cat, sentry bot or rubber duck) in the tray, a pop-up card and optional sound when Claude needs you, a pinnable status card, and one click back to your terminal. It can also serve /status as JSON on your local network for a desk display — off by default. No admin rights to install; unofficial and independent of Anthropic.

Boris Hello Anchor

Keeps the Windows Hello / "Windows Security" prompt on your laptop's built-in screen — where the face-recognition camera is — instead of an external monitor, moving it within a fraction of a second without stealing focus. Follows docking, undocking and lid changes and handles mixed display scaling; an optional Settings app lets an administrator choose a different monitor. Runs in the background with no tray icon, no network access and no telemetry. Independent of Microsoft.

About

All Boris projects are open source and named after the author's dog, Andrew Badge's spoodle. Each project is independent, donation-funded, and ships its own releases — there's no shared runtime or account between them.
