See what Claude Code is actually doing — live, in your sidebar.
Claude reads your files, runs commands, and makes changes, but you only see the result. KnoLens shows you every step: what tools were called, what files were touched, what failed, and how each turn unfolded.
Install it, open a workspace, and it connects automatically. No setup required.
