About Agent Beacon
Agent Beacon shows from the menu bar which of your coding-agent tasks are done, waiting for review, failed or running. Clicking a row jumps back to the app that ran it. It reads task state from CLI-launched Codex, Claude Code, Cursor and Gemini CLI sessions, and from a status file you can write yourself. It does not show prompts, responses or logs. It is for people running several agents at once.
The README does not state a macOS version. The recommended install is a one-line script from the repository that downloads the release, removes the quarantine flag and opens the app. The DMG is unsigned and triggers Gatekeeper's first-launch warning. This is a preview build (v0.1.0), and the README says more agent integrations are still in progress.
