Field notes
The page describes a Mac menu-bar app that reads local agent logs and assigns each running agent a pet whose state signals working, waiting, or napping. It says the app currently works with Claude Code, with Codex and Gemini CLI support planned; the in-browser demo uses pretend agents. Listed options include a ₹149 seasonal license and a ₹199 pay-once license, with later seasonal packs described as locked under the seasonal purchase.
