Lives in your Mac's notch and shows when Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode or pi finish or need you, so you can answer or jump back.

Perch lives behind your Mac's notch and keeps track of your coding agents: Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode and pi, in their own apps, in Conductor or in any terminal, plus Cursor's agent chats (beta).

  • While you work: when a session you're not in finishes or asks for something, the notch grows with what happened and folds away again.
  • Where was I: back from a break, a card shows the session, what the agent did and the next step if it named one (⌃⌥P).
  • Answer from the notch: allow or deny a command (A / D) or pick an answer to a question (1 to 4).
  • Jump back in: one key opens the exact session: the Claude app, Codex, a Conductor workspace, the tab in Terminal, iTerm2, Ghostty or Warp, or the pane in tmux, herdr or cmux.
  • Make it yours: pick a character and a colour. It lives behind the notch and its eyes follow your cursor.

Local only: Perch reads the session files your agents already keep. No account, no analytics. Live status hooks are optional and removed when you turn them off.
