tablo

tablo is a tiny cat widget that lives in your menu bar and watches your coding agents. It gives you a single place to see what Claude Code, Codex, or other agents are doing — their current session, context window usage, and whether they're waiting on you. You can approve or deny tool calls right from the widget, jump into a session, and get notifications when an agent needs input. It's a simple, focused tool for developers who run multiple coding agents and want to keep an eye on them without switching windows.

The widget shows up as a small cat icon in your menu bar. Click it to open a panel that lists all active sessions, each with its own status — working, waiting, or requesting permission. You can see the context window percentage for each session, and tablo will warn you when it passes a threshold. The dashboard gives a more detailed view with live previews of what each agent is doing. It's quiet by default — just sits there until you need it. The install is a single curl command, and it updates itself in the background.

tablo is best for developers who use coding agents like Claude Code or Codex and want a lightweight way to monitor them. It's especially useful if you run multiple agents at once, or if you want to catch context window warnings before they become a problem. It's free, open-source, and optimized for macOS (core monitoring works on Windows and Linux, but some features are experimental). If you're tired of juggling terminal windows to check on your agents, tablo gives you a single, friendly place to keep tabs on them.
