I built a terminal that knows when your AI is waiting on you

If you’ve been doing a lot of agentic development, here’s a situation that probably sounds familiar. You’ve got 5 tabs open, working on 5 different projects, running Claude Code, Codex, maybe OpenCode.

As the coding agents improve, they work for longer, so naturally you multitask, getting another project moving forward while the agents crank away on the others. The problem is that it’s easy to lose track of what’s going on in the other tabs, and you end up clicking through them one-by-one to see where they are and whether they’re waiting on input. Then you come across one that finished whatever you asked four minutes ago and has been sitting there waiting for an answer to its next question. You don’t notice, because every tab looks exactly the same. To make it worse, it’s hard to keep straight which project is running in which tab.
