AI Analysis

●MidCozyShip It

Tray dot for missed agent prompts, but narrow utility for CLI users only.

Strengths

•Native hooks into Claude Code plus process scanning fallback for other CLIs
•Focus button jumps directly to the terminal running the waiting agent

Weaknesses

•Codex and Gemini hook support described as rough in the README
•Notification fatigue tools already exist in OS and terminal multiplexers

Post Description

I kept missing Claude Code prompts while working on something else. Notifications pile up and I tune them out. What I wanted was a dot in the corner of the screen that turns yellow when an agent needs me.

So I built a wrapper app. It hooks into Claude Code's hook system (Codex and Gemini support is rough) so updates come from events. Falls back to process scanning for CLIs without hooks. There's a popup with a Focus button that jumps to the right terminal.

Tauri 2 + Rust backend, SvelteKit for the popup. Binaries for Linux/macOS/Windows in the releases tab.

Rough around the edges but I use it every day.
