Summary

A developer built an open-source floating overlay for Linux to monitor multiple AI coding agents (Claude Code, Codex, Gemini) in real time, showing agent status, handling permission prompts, and providing features like token tracking and cost estimates.

Been running multiple AI coding agents simultaneously (Claude Code, Codex, Gemini) and realized there's no good way to monitor them on Linux without constantly switching terminals. Built a floating overlay that shows live agent status, handles permission prompts, and lets you jump back to the right terminal instantly. Curious what the people here would actually want in a tool like this: \- Real-time token usage tracking per agent? \- Cost estimates? \- Alerts when an agent is stuck or waiting? \- Multi-agent view when running several at once? \- Something else entirely?
