AgentManager

AgentManager is a macOS app that monitors Claude Code sessions and tells you when one is waiting for your input. It is aimed at developers who run several sessions in parallel and keep checking terminal tabs to see whether anything has stopped. The window lists every session as running, waiting or done, and one click jumps to the matching terminal pane, tab or project window. Detection runs through Claude Code hooks, so any terminal is detected, although how precisely a click can jump differs between iTerm2, Terminal, Ghostty and IDEs.

Beyond the session list, the app shows why a session is waiting using its status dot, and it appears only when something needs you. It displays a percentage once a session passes 80% of its context and a banner when a 5-hour or 7-day usage limit runs low. If a session dies on an API error such as a rate limit, the status turns red and the window comes forward. A menu-bar count, sound alerts and a keyboard toggle are included, along with an optional pixel-art cat room.

AgentManager has a free plan that shows up to 2 sessions at once, needs no account and includes all features. The Pro plan removes the session limit and is offered monthly or annually; the annual price is listed as $48. Prices are shown in dollars and billing is handled through Freemius. A Founding Users offer gives the Pro plan free for life in return for one review. One licence can be used on any number of Macs.

Check the requirements before buying. AgentManager needs macOS 13 Ventura or later on Apple Silicon or Intel, and the Claude Code command-line tool must be installed. Sessions inside tmux are detected and tracked, but jumping to them is not supported yet. The company states that session data such as prompts, file paths and session names never leaves your Mac, and that only anonymized crash reports and usage statistics are sent. The app is notarized by Apple, and the terms are governed by the laws of Japan.
