AgentPeek monitors AI coding agents from macOS notch
AgentPeek is a local-first macOS menu bar utility designed to simplify monitoring and managing active AI coding agent sessions like Claude Code and Codex. It displays live status, execution transcripts, and token usage, and allows users to approve permission prompts and answer freeform agent queries directly from the notch or menu bar.
Bringing agent status checks and permission approvals to the macOS menu bar is a highly practical UX improvement that reduces developer context-switching during long-running background tasks.
* Glanceable monitoring shifts the cognitive burden of supervising agents from active babysitting to passive awareness.
* Direct interaction with permission prompts from the notch saves time and prevents terminal navigation fatigue.
* A local-first design appeals to developers concerned with data privacy and telemetry.
* The compact menu bar layout may face density issues when trying to display verbose output or when scaling to coordinate multiple complex agent fleets.
