NATIVE MACOS APP / BUILT FOR THE AGENT ERA

Keep every agent in sight.

Several agents open. One needs an answer. Which terminal was it in? Terminal Beacon keeps track, so the next step is always clear.

For macOS 14+ · In development

THE PROBLEM / 01

Too many agents
doing too many things
at once

When work is spread across terminals and projects, finding the right session shouldn’t interrupt your flow. See its status at a glance, then jump straight back to it.

THE DETAILS / 02

Find the session
that needs you.

Session status, project context, and a way back. All in one place.

01 / IN THE LOOP

Status, without the search.

Working, waiting, finished, or ready. The sessions that need attention stand out from the ones still making progress.

02 / ONE CLICK AWAY

Back to the right session.

Click an agent to return to its Herdr pane, tmux session, or terminal window. No guessing which tab was which.

03 / IN CONTEXT

Know what’s where.

Each session shows its repository and branch. Even after a long stretch away, it’s easy to find the right project.

A QUIETER DESKTOP / 03

In the notch.
Or in the menu bar.

On a MacBook with a notch, choose between the notch and menu bar. On Macs without a notch, Terminal Beacon uses the menu bar. Open the full session list when you need it.
