Claude Code Monitor for macOS
AgentNotch watches your Claude Code sessions from the menu bar and flags the one that needs you: waiting on approval, stalled, or done.
Claude Code runs with real independence. You hand it a task; it plans, edits, runs commands, and spins up subagents. The moments worth catching happen while you're looking elsewhere. Open a second and third session and their state is spread across windows you aren't watching.
Where AgentNotch fits
AgentNotch lifts that state to the menu bar. It marks the session that needs you, just finished, stalled, or waiting on approval, and shows a context gauge, plan usage, and live subagents per session, so a quiet session and a busy one stop looking the same. Click one and you land in it. Nothing about Claude Code changes.
The Cowork sessions you run in the Claude app show up in the same list, so the document work and the code sit side by side.

Side by side
| In the Claude Code window | In AgentNotch | |
|---|---|---|
| Session status | Visible only in the terminal you have focused. | Every session at once, from the menu bar, while you work elsewhere. |
| Context left | You read it off the session you are looking at. | A context gauge per session, so you spot the one about to run out. |
| Subagents | Scroll the transcript to see what each one is doing. | Live subagent count on the session, no scrolling. |
| Waiting on you | You notice when you switch to that window. | The session is flagged the moment it stops for approval. |
Questions
- Does AgentNotch work with Claude Code?
- Yes. AgentNotch reads your Claude Code sessions on macOS and shows each one's status in the menu bar, including the session that is waiting on you.
- Can AgentNotch show Claude Code subagents?
- Yes. When a Claude Code session spawns subagents, AgentNotch shows how many are running on that session, so you can tell heavy work apart from a session that has stopped.
- Does AgentNotch show how much context a Claude Code session has left?
- Yes. Each session gets a context gauge, so you can catch the one filling up before it compacts mid-task.
- Does AgentNotch read my Claude Code code or API key?
