A Mac app presents Claude Code, Codex, Gemini, and OpenCode sessions as contacts in a retro-style messenger.

Landing page captured for the 2026-10-10 issue.

For: Mac users coordinating coding-agent sessions across projects
Worth noticing: Pull-request rows can show states such as “Merged,” “Conflict,” or “2 failing”; tool calls appear in the conversation with output or changes one click away.

Field notes

Projects appear as contacts, with the list sortable or groupable by project, status, service, or custom groups. Agent actions are presented in the conversation, where users can inspect command output and file changes; permission prompts offer Accept, Always allow, or Decline. The download is for Apple Silicon (M1 or newer), and the page warns that the app is not notarized yet.
