How to Disable Spinner Tips in Claude Code

Claude Code v1.0.112 introduced the spinnerTipsEnabled setting to control whether helpful tips appear during loading animations. Disable this feature to minimize UI distractions and create a cleaner interface.



How to Disable It

Add the spinnerTipsEnabled setting to your project's .claude/settings.json file and set it to false:

{
"spinnerTipsEnabled": false
}

This setting controls whether informational tips display alongside loading spinner animations.

Benefits:

  • Reduced Distractions - Cleaner interface without constant tip notifications
