AgentNotch + Conductor
Conductor runs Claude Code agents in parallel git worktrees. AgentNotch watches them from the menu bar and flags the one that needs you.
Conductor runs more agents than you could manage by hand. It's a Mac app that fires up several Claude Code agents at once, each in its own git workspace, and it's good at the part that's tedious to wire up yourself. The more it runs, the harder it is to know which needs you: one finished, one stopped to ask, one is still going, all alike until you check.
Where AgentNotch fits
AgentNotch reads your Claude Code sessions wherever they run, including the agents Conductor launches. Their state rises into the menu bar next to your Cursor and Codex sessions. It flags the one that needs you. Conductor orchestrates; AgentNotch watches.
30-second setup
Download AgentNotch, drag it to Applications, open it. It picks up your Claude Code sessions on its own, including Conductor's, no config, no keys. Free on your Mac for 14 days, no card.
