Herdly
2026 · Developer tool · macOS · Launching soon
A Mac notch overlay for keeping watch over my Claude Code and Codex sessions.
Approvals and questions from Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and others wait in one queue in the notch, so you answer them without switching windows. If the app is closed, the tools ask as usual.
- Swift
- AppKit
- macOS
- Problem
- Run three coding agents at once and each one asks for approval in its own window. The one that's blocked is always the one you aren't looking at.
- One queue
- Approvals, blocking questions, failures, and completions from every agent land in one queue in the notch, ordered by what's waiting on you. Each resolves in a single action without switching windows.
- The forwarder
- A tiny signed binary sits in each tool's hooks and relays events over a local Unix socket. If the app isn't running, it steps aside and the tool asks the way it always did, so Herdly can never be the reason an agent stalls.
- Local-first
- State lives in the native SwiftUI/AppKit app. Nothing leaves the machine, and there's no account to make.
- Status
- Launching soon.
