Session status overview
Shows every Claude Code session in one list, with status labels for running, waiting, done, and idle plus the amount of time each state has lasted.
AgentManager
AgentManager is a macOS app for monitoring Claude Code sessions in a floating window. It helps users notice when a session needs input, jump back to the right terminal or IDE window, and track session status from the menu bar or keyboard.
Overview
AgentManager is a macOS companion app for Claude Code sessions. It keeps active sessions visible in a floating window, shows which ones need input, and hides itself when all sessions are clear.
The product is designed for people running multiple Claude Code sessions at once and wanting a faster way to notice when one is waiting, jump back to the right terminal or IDE window, and track session status from the menu bar or keyboard.
Core features
Context-aware floating window
Automatically opens when any session needs input and hides again when everything is clear, so the app stays out of the way when nothing needs attention.
Jump to the right session
Lets you click a session to jump to the matching terminal location, including the exact pane in iTerm2, the right tab in Terminal and Ghostty, or the project window in an IDE.
Keyboard navigation
Supports keyboard-first control with a customizable window toggle and navigation for moving between sessions without relying on the mouse.
Menu bar status indicator
Shows session counts in the menu bar using colored dots, giving a compact status view without opening the main window.
Audio alerts with mute control
Includes sound alerts, with a cat meow that plays when a session needs input and can be muted in Settings.
Common use cases
Track multiple sessions
Keep an eye on several Claude Code sessions at once and see which one is waiting for input without switching between terminals manually.
Return to the right workspace
Jump from the session list back to the exact terminal pane, tab, or IDE window that needs attention instead of searching for it by hand.
Monitor work with less context switching
Use the menu bar dots, floating window, or keyboard shortcut to check status quickly while staying focused in another app.
Follow sessions started from an IDE
Run Claude Code inside supported IDE terminals and still have those sessions appear in AgentManager for status tracking and navigation.
Use alerting that matches your workflow
Leave audio enabled for attention-grabbing prompts or mute it when you want status tracking without sound.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Automatically surfaces when a session needs input, rather than requiring manual checking.
- Supports multiple ways to return to a session, including terminal panes, tabs, IDE windows, and keyboard navigation.
- Provides a quick status summary in the menu bar.
- Offers a free trial with all features unlocked and no credit card required.
- Keeps prompts, file paths, and session names on the user’s Mac.
Cons
- The product is macOS-only according to the site.
- tmux sessions are detected and tracked, but jump support is not available yet.

FAQ
Is there a free trial?
Yes. The site says AgentManager offers a 7-day free trial with all features unlocked and no credit card required. After the trial, a paid plan is required.
What are the system requirements?
AgentManager is built for macOS 13 Ventura or later. The site says it supports Apple Silicon and Intel Macs, and Claude Code (the claude CLI) must be installed.
How does it detect and switch between sessions?
Session detection is powered by Claude Code hooks, so sessions appear automatically once AgentManager has registered its hook during onboarding. Jump precision varies by destination app: some terminals jump to a pane, tab, window, or app, while tmux sessions are detected but not yet jumpable.
Where does my data go?
Session data stays on your Mac. The site says prompts, file paths, and session names never leave the device, while only anonymized crash reports and usage statistics are sent.
Can I use one license on more than one Mac?
The site says one license can be installed and activated on multiple Macs, with each Mac activated individually and deactivated later from Settings → License.
