Evlat

Mac menu-bar strip that shows one ring per Claude Code, Codex or Antigravity session and pulses amber when an agent needs your answer.

Agent status rings: One ring per Claude Code, Codex or Antigravity session, with an amber pulse when an agent is waiting on your answer.
Process tracking with evlat watch: Prefix any long command to keep a ring on the bar that turns green on exit 0 or red with the exit code, while the command runs unchanged.
evlat signal for scripts: Scripts can report --progress, --waiting, --done or --failed so the ring fills and changes state as work advances.
Remote machines over ssh: Jobs and agents on servers appear on your Mac's bar tagged with the machine name, using your existing ssh with no account or relay.
Hover cards and Go to session: Hovering expands every session's name, activity and duration, shows the exact command an agent is stuck on, and jumps to the owning terminal or editor.
Ask the mascot: A hotkey-triggered chat balloon runs on your own Claude Code install and accepts dropped files.
Usage limits at a glance: Claude and Codex usage limits are shown beneath the session list.
