AgentBar is a lightweight, native macOS menu bar app that shows the live state of your AI coding sessions — Claude Code, Codex, Cursor CLI, Gemini CLI, plus GitHub Copilot and Google Antigravity in the same bar.
Each agent gets its own mark built from its real identity — Clawd the crab for Claude, the OpenAI knot with a braille dot-matrix for Codex, the official pixel-art head for Copilot, the pixel rainbow arch for Antigravity — and the bar always surfaces the session that needs you most.
Key Features
- Live status per agent — an animated mascot works the bar while an agent works.
- Permission alerts — an amber dot the moment an agent waits for your approval.
- Remote Allow/Deny — answer Claude Code permission prompts straight from the menu bar without switching to the terminal.
- Multi-session — every running session listed with project, git branch, and state; click a row to jump to its app or terminal.
- Open anything — launch Claude, Codex, Copilot, or Antigravity straight from the menu.
- Two looks — full-color mascots, or a monochrome System mode that matches the menu bar.
- Built-in updates — quiet daily check of GitHub Releases plus manual check in the menu.
- Linux too — the
agentbarCLI is a full peer of the menu bar app with live status, pending approvals, and remote Allow/Deny.
Requirements
- macOS 12+ (Apple Silicon or Intel)
- Node.js (for the hook scripts)
