Cursor put an AI agent right where you write code. You hand it a task in the editor and it works across your project. It's fast to steer, but it ties the agent's status to a window you're meant to be staring at. Send it to read docs and the editor slips behind; you won't know it finished until you switch back.

Where AgentNotch fits

AgentNotch surfaces that status in the menu bar, so you read it without bringing the editor forward. It flags the session that finished, stalled, or wants you. It sits next to your Claude Code and Codex sessions on one surface. Cursor writes the code; AgentNotch watches it.

30-second setup

Download AgentNotch, drag it to Applications, open it. It finds your Cursor sessions on its own, no config, no keys. It runs locally and never reads your code. Free for 14 days, no card.

Questions

Does AgentNotch work with Cursor?: Yes. AgentNotch reads your Cursor agent sessions on macOS, in the IDE and the CLI, and shows each one's status in the menu bar.
Does AgentNotch replace Cursor's own AI?: No, Cursor runs the agent and does the coding. AgentNotch only watches the sessions and tells you which one needs you, so the two work together.
Can AgentNotch watch a Cursor agent while I work in another app?: Yes, that's the point. Session status lives in the menu bar, so you see a finished or waiting agent without switching back to the editor.
