MacBook notch app 2
Monitor and control AI coding agents from your Mac notch
Crew Tower is a native macOS control center for monitoring and managing AI coding agents from the MacBook notch or a floating pill on external displays. It supports agents such as Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI, Qwen Code, and OpenCode. Users can review permission requests, approve or deny commands, answer agent questions, review plans, monitor progress and context usage, receive completion notifications, and jump directly to the correct terminal tab without leaving their current work. Crew Tower communicates locally through agent hooks and Unix sockets, keeping code, prompts, and transcripts on the Mac.

Free Mac notch app for monitoring AI coding agents and managing active work
NapCat is a free macOS menu-bar app that turns the MacBook notch, or a customizable floating island on Macs without a notch, into a control center for AI coding agents and everyday shortcuts. It monitors Claude Code and Codex with rich session context, shows when work is active, needs attention, or is finished, and lets users return to the exact session. It also recognizes other local coding-agent CLIs at the process level. NapCat includes Claude permission and input controls, focus timers, customizable island layouts, activity tracking, and a screen nap mode that keeps long-running work awake. Agent monitoring and Activity data stay on the Mac, and no account or license key is required.
