How I put AI agents in the MacBook notch and built them a pixel office

A developer has introduced a unique solution for managing multiple AI agent sessions, such as Claude Code and Codex. Instead of constantly switching between windows, the author created a macOS application that visualizes agent activity directly in the MacBook notch area. Each agent is represented as a pixelated character in a virtual office, allowing for instant monitoring of task status. The technical implementation includes using SpriteKit for graphics, Core Animation for glow effects with minimal CPU usage (around 0.5%), and parsing Codex logs without an official API. The application offers an intuitive way to monitor workflows, turning routine AI tool management into an interactive experience. Details on the implementation, including working with system hooks and methods for gathering statistics, are described in the original article on Habr.
