Compact when idle
The compact pill sits under the notch and shows glanceable status: session activity or live usage gauges, whichever you pick under Notch settings. The Show picker switches between the two, and Size decides how much room the session pill takes. The compact surface stays in the unused space under the camera housing.
Click it, or let it open on its own, and the panel expands: live sessions labeled by project, pending permission prompts and questions, a composer for follow-up prompts, token usage, local dev servers, and Quick Routes, with floating widgets a drag away and the Agent Board one click from the panel header.
Opens for pending actions
The point of putting agents in the notch is timing. When Claude Code wants permission to run a command, or Codex finishes a long task, AgentPeek can auto-expand with the prompt already laid out. You answer with a keystroke and drop straight back into your editor, no window switch, no hunting for the right terminal.
- Sessions show their state at a glance: executing, thinking, waiting, or idle.
- Prompts stack when several agents want you at once; arrow between them.
- A global hotkey toggles the notch open and closed from anywhere.
Adjust the layout
Notch settings cover what the collapsed pill shows, expanded and collapsed widths, density, text size, session-list sizing, and floating widget size. Appearance settings cover glass opacity and depth, avatar colors, and per-tool colors. On an external display or a Mac without a notch, menu bar mode keeps live usage gauges in a compact popover; the notch and menu bar are independent toggles.
