Codex Monitor for macOS
AgentNotch watches your Codex sessions on macOS and flags the one waiting on your approval, so a run never sits idle for your yes.
Codex is careful by design. It works through a task, then stops to ask before anything risky. That gate keeps you in control. The cost shows up when you're not watching: a session sits paused on a question until you notice. Run two or three and one is likely stalled on a prompt you never saw.
Where AgentNotch fits
AgentNotch shows their status in the menu bar. The moment a session pauses for approval it becomes the one flagged as needing you, so a held-up run is a glance, not a discovery ten minutes later. Click straight into the one that wants an answer. It works whether Codex runs in Desktop or the terminal.
