Editorial interest 84/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

Ante is an open-source macOS terminal that tracks Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, Pi, and ordinary shells across working, waiting, and idle states.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-19 issue.

For: People running several AI coding agents at once
Worth noticing: The board distinguishes working, waiting for you, and idle by reading agent state rather than relying on a user-set timer.

Field notes

Ante classifies sessions using agent hooks, foreground-process observation, and history files rather than asking users to maintain a separate timer. Its activity view covers a year of prompts, while the terminal can import iTerm2 or Alacritty themes and keep configuration in ~/.config/ante/config.toml. The homepage presents these controls through an interactive demo window.
