My old 8-core MacBook Pro used to get wrecked the moment two Claude Code sessions decided to build at the same time.

To combat that, I wanted to make sure dev agents queue up when they want to make heavy builds.

At the same time, I like to keep a constant overview of my CPU usage in the terminal.

Busybee solves both by rendering a compact set of core usage gauges with a one-line queue status underneath.

Yes, I know this is a thin pueue wrapper, but I hope to improve it soon so it can be a bit smarter scheduler than pueue was designed for (see the roadmap).

Also, I noticed that the gauge looks off (both colors and alignment) in e.g. iTerm, but renders much prettier in Zellij/Kitty. Any tips on that are appreciated!
