AgentPeek

What it does

AgentPeek is a macOS app that surfaces AI coding agent activity directly in your Mac notch and menu bar. It monitors sessions from Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Grok, Hermes, OpenCode, and Antigravity, showing live prompts, permission requests, token usage, rate limits, and local dev servers without requiring window switches. The app sets up small hooks for supported agents to read session state, and displays everything in a native panel that can auto-expand from the notch. Users can answer permission prompts with keystrokes (Command-A to allow, Command-N to deny), view tool call history with diffs, and access Quick Routes to agent config folders, Fast Actions for custom shell commands, and one-click Views to open terminal workspaces. All data stays local on the machine—no accounts, analytics, or telemetry.

Who it is for

AgentPeek is built for developers who run multiple AI coding agents in parallel throughout the day, especially those using Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Grok, Hermes, OpenCode, or Antigravity. It targets macOS users on Apple silicon (M-series chips) running macOS 14 or later. The app is designed for power users who want to monitor agent activity at a glance without disrupting their flow—ideal for “vibe coding” workflows where several agents work simultaneously on different projects. It also suits developers who need to track token usage and rate limits to avoid surprises, and who prefer local-first tools with no cloud dependency.

Why it matters

As AI coding agents become more common, developers often run several sessions at once across terminals and desktop apps. Switching windows to check agent status, approve permissions, or monitor usage breaks concentration and slows work. AgentPeek solves this by putting essential information in the notch—a persistent, glanceable location—so users can stay in their editor. The app also provides unified visibility across different agents, which otherwise have separate interfaces and no shared dashboard. By keeping all data local and avoiding subscriptions (one-time purchase of $19–$49), it offers a privacy-respecting, cost-predictable tool for a growing workflow need.

Launch signal

AgentPeek was built by solo developer Bren Huber (@brenhubr) and is available as a free 3-day trial followed by a one-time purchase. The app ships updates “almost every day” and is marketed through a dedicated website with documentation, FAQ, and a changelog. It targets the niche of AI agent monitoring, a space that is still emerging. The product is live and downloadable now, with no announced funding or team.

Brand and naming

The name “AgentPeek” combines “agent” (referring to AI coding agents) with “peek” (a quick glance), directly describing the app’s core function: letting users peek at agent activity. The name is short, memorable, and domain-appropriate. The branding emphasizes the notch as a key visual element, with the tagline “Your coding agents, in the Mac notch” and a logo that likely references the notch shape. The positioning is utility-first, focusing on speed and minimal disruption, with a clear value proposition for a specific user group.
