- It can switch to a named terminal tab or pane, or to a Conductor workspace, rather than merely showing a notification.
Field notes
Setup asks users to select which agents Perch should watch and choose a shortcut; the page says no account is required. Its compatibility list covers Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, and pi, with exact-tab or pane switching for several named terminals and workspace switching in Conductor. The site says Perch reads session files stored on the Mac and sends no data elsewhere; that privacy statement is the maker’s claim.
