Agent Status Belt

Turn the MacBook notch into a status light for coding agents, so devs can see which agent needs approval or has finished without switching windows.

Problem

Running Claude Code, Codex, Devin and other coding agents in parallel means each task takes many minutes. Once the developer switches to other work, there is no way to know when an agent needs approval, has crashed, or finished—forcing constant tab-switching back to the terminal and breaking flow.

Solution

A lightweight macOS notch-resident status island that auto-detects running agent processes (Claude Code, Codex, Grok Build, Devin, Qwen Code, etc.) and shows each agent's state via color and short text in the notch: running, awaiting approval, errored, done. Notifications appear only when human action is needed, cutting unnecessary interruptions.

Users

Professional developers, indie hackers, and heavy AI-assisted coding users who run multiple coding agents simultaneously.

MVP

Detect 3–5 mainstream agent processes and log outputs; show status dots for each agent in the notch; highlight alerts for approvals/errors; click to jump back to the terminal or show last few log lines; configurable polling interval.

Revenue

One-time purchase ($9.9–$19.9); optional subscription tier for early support of new agents; team licenses for bulk users.

Why now

Parallel multi-agent workflows are becoming the default for developers, yet no OS or tool provides a cross-agent status aggregation layer. An indie dev can exploit macOS notch as a unique UI surface to ship a differentiated experience fast.
