Agent Notch 0.3.1

Agent Notch 0.3.1

Questions from Claude now show up as questions.

What's fixed

• Claude's question tool (AskUserQuestion) is shown as "Your turn". Before, the notch showed it as a running tool ("Running AskUserQuestion", timer included) and raised an Allow / Deny card. An Allow there could not carry your answers back to Claude. Now:
  • the peek under the notch shows the question in amber and the mascot gets the amber dot;
  • the session row says Your turn with the question underneath, and the hover card lists the question and its options;
  • the permission request for the question is handed back to the terminal, so Claude uses its own question UI;
  • it sounds like an approval, does not count as a finished turn, and the row goes back to "Thinking" when you answer.
• Found by recording the real hook events of a question: Claude sends the tool event, then a permission request, then a notification, and finally the answers.

Upgrading

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

Install

1. Download AgentNotch-0.3.1.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).
• If one call asks several questions, the notch shows the first and counts the rest.
• Plan approval (ExitPlanMode) and questions from MCP servers probably need the same treatment; they are not covered yet.
• Tested by replaying real recorded events against the app, not with a new live question on the final build.
• The language picker was tested from a copy outside /Applications; the restart from /Applications or from a login item is untested.
• 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).
