ONE-KEY JUMP
⌘1–⌘5 drops you back into a finished session — the exact split in iTerm2, tmux, WezTerm, kitty, Orca, driven by each one's own CLI. Every other terminal and IDE gets the project's window raised.

THE AGENTS IT SPEAKS · THE APPS IT JUMPS TO
Working today: Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, OpenCode, Cursor, Kimi CLI, Qwen Code, Qoder, CodeBuddy, Factory, ZCode. Claude Code is the fully wired one — approvals, usage limits and transcript detail. All of them are exercised end-to-end against a real install. On the way: Antigravity CLI, Trae, Grok Build, DeepSeek, Copilot, Hermes, and more. Jumps land in iTerm2, tmux, WezTerm, kitty, Orca, Terminal.app, Ghostty, Warp, Alacritty, VS Code, Cursor, WebStorm, PhpStorm, IntelliJ, PyCharm, and anything else macOS can name — iTerm2, tmux, WezTerm, kitty, Orca get you the exact pane.
LEVEL 01 — POWER-UPS
SIX THINGS YOU STOP
DOING BY HAND
FIVE-STATE ALIEN
Working, needs you, done, failed, idle. A turn that errored is its own state, ranked above finished work so it can't hide under it. The menu-bar sprite carries the aggregate.
FUEL GAUGE
Claude Code's 5-hour, weekly and model-family limits with exact reset countdowns — polled gently, highlighted as you close in, and switchable off credential and all.
YN
ANSWER FROM THE NOTCH
Allow, deny or answer Claude Code's question without leaving what you're doing — the exact call, named, with a countdown. Opt-in, and silence never approves anything.
EXTERNAL DISPLAYS
Your big screen stays clean while agents churn. A capsule appears only when one needs you or finishes — then gets out of the way.
NO
NET
NET
100% LOCAL
No account, no API key, no ads, no third-party analytics. Hooks reach Glancet over loopback and your agent state never leaves the machine.
ALSO IN THE PANEL — NO SETTINGS REQUIRED
- ▸Your prompt on every row
Two sessions in one repo stay tellable apart.
- ▸Closing summary
The agent's last message, not just “done”.
- ▸Context left
The real token count, graded — no invented denominator.
- ▸Permission mode
Plan, accept-edits and bypass are called out. Default isn't.
- ▸Model tag
Read locally from the session transcript.
- ▸Live subagents
A ▸ N fold-out listing each task and whether it's still running.
- ▸Agent badges
Only when you run more than one agent — otherwise every row would match.
- ▸Git branch per session
Resolved by reading .git/HEAD — no subprocess, worktree aware.
- ▸Inline rename
Names key off the project and survive restarts.
- ▸⇧⌘G from anywhere
Opens the panel on whichever screen your cursor is on.
- ▸Sound cues
Optional chimes for done and needs-input. Off until you switch them on.
- ▸Limit alerts
An opt-in notification at 75, 90 and 100% — the one thing worth interrupting for.
- ▸Safe hook install
Merges into your settings with a backup. Other tools' hooks untouched.
- ▸Glancing counts
Switching to your terminal calms finished sessions. Needs-input stays loud.
- ▸Quiet by default
Launch at login, no Dock icon, and Claude's own notifications optional.
LEVEL 02 — SETUP
60 SECONDS TO START
01
INSTALL & CONNECT
Drag to Applications, then hit Install for each agent you use. Glancet merges its hooks into that agent's own settings file and keeps a backup — your existing hooks are left alone.
02
RUN AGENTS AS USUAL
No wrapper command, no flags, no daemon to babysit. Sessions show up on their own, tagged with the project, the branch and the terminal they're in.
03
GLANCE UP. JUMP IN.
The notch says who needs you — and for Claude Code you can answer it there. ⌘1–⌘5 or ⇧⌘G puts you back in the session: the exact pane in iTerm2, tmux, WezTerm, kitty, Orca, and with Accessibility granted, the right window everywhere else.

LEVEL 05 — PLAYER MANUAL
SELECT A QUESTION
USE ▲▼ OR JUST CLICK
A.01
Then the menu-bar alien is your always-on indicator — it's colour-coded by aggregate state, notch or not. Results arrive as a capsule that drops from the top edge, the same way they do on an external display, and ⇧⌘G opens the full panel on whichever screen your cursor is on.
A.02
Download it and run everything unlocked for 7 days. No card, no account. After that a one-time $10 unlock keeps it running forever, including every update that follows.
A.03
11 agents work today: Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, OpenCode, Cursor, Kimi CLI, Qwen Code, Qoder, CodeBuddy, Factory and ZCode. Claude Code is the fully wired one — approvals, usage limits and transcript detail. Antigravity CLI, Trae, Grok Build, DeepSeek, Copilot and Hermes are on the way, with more to follow. Jumps land in iTerm2, tmux, WezTerm, kitty, Orca, Terminal.app, Ghostty, Warp, Alacritty, VS Code, Cursor, WebStorm, PhpStorm, IntelliJ, PyCharm, and anything else macOS can name; iTerm2, tmux, WezTerm, kitty and Orca get you the exact pane, everywhere else raises the project's window. Missing yours? Put it on the roadmap and it goes in the queue.
A.04
Yes — as of 0.1.2 every one of the 11 has been run end-to-end against a real install, so none of them carries a "beta" tag any more. The tag still exists in the app: a newly added agent wears it until someone has actually run it, rather than us claiming more than we've measured. If a new one shows up marked beta, that is the label doing its job.
A.05
Yes, for Claude Code and Codex — on by default, with a switch in Settings. A session waiting on a tool grows buttons naming the exact call, with a countdown: both agents take Allow / Deny, and Claude additionally takes "Always" and can hand you its own multiple-choice questions. It fails open everywhere it can: if Glancet isn't running, is quit mid-decision, or you simply ignore it, the prompt appears in your terminal exactly as it does today. Silence never approves anything.
A.06
No. Glancet never reads your code. Your agents' hooks post session metadata — project, branch, state, elapsed time — to a loopback-only server on your own machine, behind a token. The requests that leave the Mac are small and none describes your work: Anthropic's usage endpoint for your Claude limits, Codex's own local app-server asking OpenAI for yours (Glancet never touches a Codex token), a once-a-day check for a new version, and a single anonymous "+1" the first time you launch it so installs can be counted. All of them can be turned off.
A.07
As many as you like — every live session gets its own row, with its prompt, branch and elapsed time. The five most recently finished sit on ⌘1–⌘5, and Glancet remembers your last ten projects across restarts.
