GLANCE,
DON'T SWITCH.
Coloured dots in the menu bar read out Working, Calling API or Idle. Multi-project work stops requiring Cmd-Tab to learn who is busy.

AGENT CONSOLE FOR macOS.
AgentPad reads the local JSONL session tail of every running
AI coding agent — Claude Code, Codex, opencode — and routes approve /
reject onto a game controller. Menu-bar resident. Zero network.

DOCTRINE
PARALLEL AGENTS. STATUS = CONSOLE.
AgentPad is engineered for developers who keep long-running AI coding sessions open all day. It does not try to replace the editor; it puts the two things that ever matter — what's happening and what to do next — where your eyes already land.
GLANCE,

LOCAL
TELEMETRY.
Reads the JSONL session tail the agent writes itself. PTY probe via Accessibility only kicks in as fallback. The network is left untouched.

THUMB THE
DECISION.
A / B become approve / reject. L / R move through hunks. Read the diff and answer it without ever switching seats.

AGENT.MONITOR
THE RADAR IN THE BAR.
Three states — Working, Calling API, Idle. The smallest vocabulary that still tells you exactly what every session in the fleet wants from you.
MONITOR / 03·A
LIVE TAIL · -F
W
WORKING
A shell command is running, a tool call is in flight, or there's an
unclosed tool_result waiting for the model to come back.
A
CALLING API
Request open or response streaming. Takes priority over Idle so the
live signal arrives at your eye first.
I
IDLE
The session has parked on a prompt, a confirmation question, or is
simply awaiting your next instruction.
04/
CONTROLLER.REMOTE
CONTROLLER = DECIDER.
Per-app profiles keep bindings honest. Terminal, Cursor and your browser each remember their own map. Pick up a game and any passthrough-capable controller drops cleanly back into native gamepad mode.
A
APPROVE
Say yes to the current diff or prompt
B
REJECT
Say no, ask the agent to revise
