Sessions run in parallel. Parallel dev:where the gap opens.
Wasted wait.
Claude sits on “proceed?” behind whatever you're doing.
Constant checking.
You cycle through tabs just to see if anything stopped.
The silent crash.
It died on an API error. You thought it was still running.
Lost context.
Context compacts mid-task, and the premise is gone.
AgentManager closes the gap.
Features
See what's waiting
Every session's status at a glance — which is running, which needs you, which is done.
See why it's waiting
A quick yes/no, a plan to review, or a choice to make — the status dot itself shows which, so you know what you're getting into before you jump in.
Surfaces when you need it
Appears the moment any session needs input. Hides when everything is clear.
Jump to the right terminal
Click any row to jump straight to that session — the exact pane in iTerm2, the right tab in Terminal and Ghostty, the project window in your IDE.
Keyboard first
Toggle the window with ⌥ Space (customizable). Navigate sessions and jump to terminals — all without the mouse.
Works inside your IDE
Sessions launched from the integrated terminal of Android Studio, VS Code, Cursor and more show up in the list too — click to jump to that project's window.
Status in your menu bar
See how many sessions are waiting from the menu bar — without opening the window.
Know before it compacts
A percentage appears once a session passes 80% of its context, so you can wrap up before it auto-compacts. When your 5-hour or 7-day usage limit runs low, a banner shows what's left.
Know when it stops
When a session dies on an API error — rate limit, auth, billing — the lamp turns red with a “!” and the window comes forward. Hover the row to see why.
Sound alerts
A sound plays the moment a session needs you. Mute it anytime in Settings.
Bonus: cats, and a breather
Cats live beneath your session list. A small comfort between tasks.
Pixel-art cat room
A cat wanders the room in sync with your sessions. The scene shifts between day and night.
Cat sound alerts
A cat meows the moment a session needs your input.
You can jump to each window, so it's clear where to go. Each agent's status is visible, so I can focus on other work. When a session is waiting for me, the AgentManager window comes to the front and forces me to stop what I'm doing, so it's easy to notice.
macOS 13 Ventura or later, on Apple Silicon or Intel. Claude Code (claude CLI) must be installed.
Which terminals and IDEs are supported?
Detection works in any terminal — it's powered by Claude Code hooks. What differs is how precisely a click can jump:
HostJump precision
iTerm2Pane
TerminalTab
Ghostty 1.3+Tab / Pane
VS Code · Cursor · ZedWindow
Android Studio · JetBrains IDEsWindow
Warp · kitty · WezTerm · AlacrittyApp
tmuxDetect only
tmux sessions are detected and tracked, but jump is not supported yet.
Which macOS permissions does it need?
Session detection needs no special permissions. Jumping depends on the destination: Automation permission for iTerm2 / Terminal / Ghostty (a dialog appears on your first jump — just click Allow), Accessibility for Android Studio and similar IDEs, and nothing at all for VS Code, Cursor, Zed, Warp, kitty, WezTerm, and Alacritty.
How does AgentManager detect sessions?
AgentManager uses Claude Code hooks to detect sessions. During onboarding, a hook is registered automatically in ~/.claude/settings.json (a .bak backup is created first) — after that, every claude session you start appears in the list with no further setup.
How are sessions running subagents shown?
They stay marked as running until the last subagent finishes.
Where does my session data go?
Your session data — prompts, file paths, session names — never leaves your Mac. AgentManager sends only anonymized crash reports and usage statistics, and even those never include paths, session names, or license keys.
How many Macs can I use one license on?
There is no limit on the number of Macs per license. Install and activate AgentManager on as many machines as you like. Each Mac is activated individually, and you can deactivate a device anytime from Settings → License.
How do updates work? Is the app safe?
Updates are delivered automatically in-app — each one is cryptographically verified before install. The app itself is notarized by Apple.
Can I switch between Simple and Cat Room modes later?
Yes. You choose a view during onboarding, and you can switch anytime in Settings. All features work the same in both modes.
Reviews under “From our Founding Users” are from people who received a lifetime Pro plan license through the Founding Users program. AgentManager selects which reviews to show and lightly edits them for length.
