I Built a Terminal That Tells Me Which Agent Needs Me

Description and use

<p>Hello there!</p> <p>These days I rarely run one coding agent. I run three or four, Claude Code in one tab, Codex in another, each on its own task.</p> <p>Starting them is easy. The annoying part is knowing which one needs me.</p> <p>I kept cycling through tabs to find the one stuck on a permission prompt. Sometimes it had been waiting for ten minutes while I was watching another one work.</p> <p>So I built <a href="https://farol.sh" rel="noopener noreferrer">Farol</a>, a macOS terminal made for this. Farol means lighthouse in Portuguese 🙂</p> <p><a href="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image
