Claude Code's default statusline is fine, until you realize you can't change it. You can't reorder widgets, remove ones you don't care about, or add your own. If you've ever wanted to see your git branch, token costs, and quota all at a glance without the noise, read on.
What is soffit?
A drop-in replacement for Claude Code's statusline that gives you full control over what shows up, where, and how.

No config files to hand-edit. Open the editor, drag widgets around, toggle compact mode, preview changes live.
