Multi-Agent Status Keys
See at a glance which AI coding agent needs you, on a programmable keypad
- Problem
- Running multiple AI coding agents means constantly switching windows to check which is stuck, waiting for confirmation, or done. Context switching kills focus and slows developers down.
- Solution
- A desktop utility that maps each agent's status (running, waiting, done, error) to backlit keys on a Logitech or programmable keypad. Pressing a key jumps to that agent's window.
- Users
- Developers running multiple AI coding agents, indie hackers, remote engineers
- MVP
- Monitor local agent processes or API status; control keypad lighting via USB HID or Logitech SDK; key press switches windows; custom status mapping
- Revenue
- Free software with affiliate links to recommended hardware; Pro one-time purchase for more keypad models and cloud sync.
- Why now
- AI coding agents are going multi-instance, but status visibility is still stuck in terminal windows. Hardware SDKs are opening up, letting indie developers build fun, practical integrations.
