AgentTab – Coding Agent Status Bar
Show each coding agent's status and waiting alerts directly on browser tabs to eliminate window-switching anxiety
- Problem
- Developers running multiple coding agents (Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, etc.) struggle to track which agent is waiting for input, which finished, and which errored. They switch between terminal windows or SSH from phones to check status, wasting time and breaking flow.
- Solution
- A lightweight browser extension or menu bar tool that automatically detects locally running coding agent processes and displays real-time status icons (running, waiting for input, finished, error) on corresponding tabs or icons. Clicking the icon jumps to the window or shows a brief output summary.
- Users
- Advanced developers managing multiple AI coding agents, heavy users monitoring agents remotely from their phones.
- MVP
- Auto-discover local agent processes via process or port scanning; show status indicators (color-coded running/waiting/done/error) in the browser extension icon or system menu bar; click to open a simple panel with recent output and waiting-input prompts; support manual refresh and basic log viewing.
- Revenue
- Free base version; paid unlock for multi-device sync, custom notification rules, and mobile push.
- Why now
- Multi-agent parallel workflows are becoming standard for developers, yet status management still relies on manual terminal switching — a clear window for lightweight visualization tools.
