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

A macOS menu-bar app for monitoring AI coding-agent sessions and answering permission prompts without switching to the terminal.

Landing page captured for the 2026-10-18 issue.

For: Mac users running Claude Code or Codex
Worth noticing: The local API binds to 127.0.0.1; the page says only license activation leaves the Mac.

Field notes

Installation adds hooks to ~/.claude/settings.json; the page says existing hooks are preserved and the additions can be removed with one click. Sessions are sorted by urgency, with a menu-bar overview and an approval card that is described as avoiding keyboard focus. The page also documents a loopback API for other agents and says source, commands, and paths stay local, with license activation as the stated exception.
