Linger: a field guide for your AI agent’s terminal work

lingerer.xyz Observed source

Editorial interest 82/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

An open-source macOS terminal app for reading Claude Code and Codex sessions, inspecting tool calls, and collecting notes on unfamiliar commands.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-14 issue.

Field notes

Linger presents agent sessions as transcripts to investigate: users can move through recorded or live runs, inspect tool-call inputs and outputs, and consult local documentation for selected commands. Its field guide stores examples and personal notes on the machine, while transcript reading does not execute anything. The example installation uses a tagged GitHub release and Rust 1.88 or newer; the project is at version 0.1.0, with unsigned and unnotarized macOS binaries and no decided Linux distribution.
