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
Real-Time Tool Tracking
See every tool call as it happens — file reads, code edits, shell commands, and more. Know exactly what your AI assistant is doing at any moment.
Token and Cost Monitoring
Track token usage (input/output) and estimated costs in real-time. Never be surprised by API bills again.

The Github says it's 100% local. Does the telemetry data include the actual code snippets or just the metadata of the tool calls?
Wow, AgentNotch is genius! Love the idea of seeing my AI coding assistants working directly in the notch. Does this work with custom tools in Codex, or just the standard set? Curious about extending its functionality.
Using the notch for AI telemetry is genius — that space is just sitting there doing nothing on most Macs.
Token tracking and cost visibility is exactly what vibe coders need. Easy to lose track of API spend when you're in the flow.
As someone who built my whole product with Cursor + Claude, I would've loved this. Congrats! 🚀
