Agent Notch 0.2.0

Agent Notch now speaks English, Spanish and German.

What's new

  • The app follows your system language. Menu, dialogs, session list, detail card, approval card, statuses and error messages are translated to English, Spanish and German. If a language is not supported, you get English.
  • "Gentle Shell" is now the name of the Pi-based agent in the interface, the README and the mascot sheet (it was shown as gentle-shell, the folder spelling). Paths such as ~/.gentle-shell/agent do not change.
  • "Your turn" detection also recognizes German phrases such as "gib mir Bescheid" or "bitte bestätige".
  • The release script now checks that every string is translated before building.

Upgrading

Replace the app. Nothing else is needed: the hook script installed by 0.1.1 is unchanged.

Install

  1. Download AgentNotch-0.2.0.dmg, drag Agent Notch to Applications.
  2. This build is not notarized: the first time, try to open it, then go to System Settings → Privacy & Security, scroll down to Security, click Open Anyway and confirm.
  3. Click Connect when the app offers it (or choose Connect agents… from the menu bar item).
  4. Restart any running Claude Code / Codex / Pi session. Codex may ask you to trust the new hooks.

The installer only appends hook entries that run agent-notch-hook; uninstall.sh (inside the app, in Contents/Resources/scripts) removes exactly those.

Known limitations

  • Not notarized yet (see above).
  • The translations are new: if some wording sounds odd, please open an issue.
  • The screenshots in the README show the English interface.
  • macOS 14+. Built for notched MacBooks; other screens get a pill at the top center. On macOS 14 the installer needs jq (brew install jq); macOS 15 and later include it.
  • The "jq is required" message (macOS 14 without jq) is untested.
  • Codex update_plan step lists are untested on real Codex runs.
  • Claude TaskCreate / TaskUpdate task lists are not shown (only TodoWrite).
