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.
