First release. A macOS menu bar app that answers one question: do any of my agents need me right now?

Watches Claude Code, Codex, Kimi Code, BearCode, OpenCode, Grok Build and Antigravity across every concurrent session. Sessions sort into Needs you, Active and Recent, and an approval can be answered from the popover with the command in front of you.

Install

Download SwarmBar-0.1.0.dmg, drag SwarmBar to /Applications, and launch it. Signed with a Developer ID and notarized by Apple, so there is no Gatekeeper warning to click through. There is no Dock icon by design: look for the hexagon in the menu bar.

Requirements

  • macOS 26 or later
  • iTerm2, for answering prompts and sending replies without leaving the menu bar. Everywhere else, Approve and Deny focus the terminal instead of answering for you.

What it does

  • Approve and deny through each tool's own control channel: a held hook decision for Claude Code, the plugin's respond endpoint for OpenCode, and read-then-verify terminal answers for the rest. Never by editing a tool's files.
  • Inline reply to a finished turn without switching windows.
  • Read only. Monitors tail transcripts and session state and never write to them. The only files SwarmBar writes are the approval bridges you switch on in Settings, each with a one-time backup beside it.
  • No daemon in your agents, no wrapper to launch them through, no telemetry.

Notes

This is a 0.1. It has been used daily against real sessions of all seven tools, and every approval path was verified live against a real prompt, but it is new. Issues welcome.
