Lookout

Lookout is a free, open-source Mac menu bar app that keeps track of your coding agent terminal sessions. It lines up the windows of Claude Code, Codex, Grok and Kimi running in Warp or Ghostty and shows at a glance which one is working, done or waiting for you. Key features: • Mint frame marks a finished session • Amber frame signals a session that needs your input • Dark status labels show state, time in state and session name • Current step or first sentence of the answer shown for Claude Code • Fully local, with no internet connection required Lookout runs quietly, with no blinking and no numbers in the menu bar, so you only see who needs you. Frames appear on background windows only, since the window you are working in never gets one. When a session asks a question or needs approval, its frame turns amber, and a session that only ends with a question at the close of its answer counts as done. The app is built for developers who juggle many terminal sessions at once, sometimes 15 or more, and want to stop losing track of which agent has finished or is stuck waiting. Because it is MIT licensed, you can read the code on GitHub, adapt it and install it for free.
