AgentNotch

Real-time AI coding assistant telemetry in your Mac's notch

Website github.com
Overview

What it is

AgentNotch is a macOS menu bar app that lives in your Mac's notch, providing real-time visibility into your AI coding assistants. Watch as Claude Code and OpenAI Codex think, read files, and execute tools while you do other tasks. Install via Brew, and follow guide on Github to setup telemetry for CC and Codex. brew tap AppGram/tap brew install --cask agentnotch

Intent

I need it when

Track API token usage and costs to avoid unexpected billing surprises

AgentNotch provides real-time token counting (input/output) and estimated cost monitoring, helping developers understand their AI assistant consumption patterns and control API expenses

Distinguish between different AI assistants working on the same machine

AgentNotch uses color-coded indicators (orange for Claude Code, blue for Codex, light blue for unknown) to visually distinguish which AI assistant is active at any moment

Monitor AI coding assistant activity in real-time without context switching

AgentNotch displays live tool calls, file reads, code edits, and shell commands from Claude Code and OpenAI Codex directly in the Mac notch, allowing developers to see exactly what their AI assistant is doing without leaving their editor

Maintain privacy while monitoring AI assistant telemetry

AgentNotch runs entirely locally on the user's Mac with no external data transmission, ensuring all telemetry data remains private and under user control

Know when AI coding tasks are complete without manual checking

AgentNotch sends completion notifications when Claude Code or Codex finishes a task, eliminating the need to manually check if the assistant is still thinking

Drop

Not a fit when

  • User is on Windows or Linux—AgentNotch is macOS-only and requires macOS 14.0 (Sonoma) or later
  • User has a Mac without a notch and prefers not to use menu bar apps—while it falls back to menu bar, the primary design targets notch-equipped MacBook Pros
  • User does not use Claude Code or OpenAI Codex—AgentNotch only monitors these two specific AI coding assistants
  • User requires cloud-based telemetry or data export—AgentNotch runs 100% locally with no external data transmission
  • User needs real-time monitoring of AI assistants other than Claude Code and Codex—the app is purpose-built for these two tools only
