Your notch, now a status island.

See what your coding agents are doing, approve their tool calls and answer their questions, see what they changed, and keep an eye on dev servers, builds, deployments and usage limits. It shows up when something changes, and stays out of the way when nothing does.

One-time purchase. Requires macOS 26 or later and Apple silicon.

One glance is enough

  • Working: The agent, what it is touching, and how long it has been at it.
  • Needs you: A pixel question mark when it is waiting for your answer.
  • Done: A green check the moment a task finishes.
  • Failed: A red mark for a failed build, test or command.
  • Listening: A dev server that is up, with its port.

Answer the agent without leaving your editor.

When Claude Code, Codex and others ask for permission, the prompt opens in the notch with the command in plain sight. Allow it, always allow it, deny it, or send it back to the terminal. When Claude Code or Grok Build ask you a multiple-choice question, answer that in the notch too: pick one, tick several, or type your own. Anything Runnock cannot answer falls back to the agent's own prompt, so nothing is ever stuck.

Finished work drops out of the notch.

Each finished task, failed build or waiting agent separates from the notch like a drop and hangs below it, with a small tail pointing back. It is drawn the same way in the app: no video, no trick.

See what the agent changed.

When a turn ends, a bubble says how many files changed and by how many lines. Open it for the list, then any file for its diff, in a window of its own. Runnock compares your work tree from before the turn with the one after it, so every agent gets this, and your repository's index, branch and stash are never touched.

Know before you hit the limit.

Runnock tells you when Codex, Claude Code or Grok reaches 80% and 95% of a limit, when it runs out and when it comes back, and when it is usable again.

Everything that runs on your Mac

  • Dev servers: Start one from a project folder. It appears with its port, an Open button and a Kill button. Docker containers and Compose projects are watched too.
  • Builds and tests: Xcode builds, test runs and any zsh command that takes a while report back with the error count or the line that failed.
  • Git and deployments: Conflicts, failed pushes, review requests, merges, and Vercel, Cloudflare Pages and Netlify deployments from start to failure.

Copy a trace. Get it tidied.

Off until you switch it on. Copy a stack trace, some JSON or a colour, and the notch offers the next step: the trace without your home folder and cut to the frames that matter, the JSON indented, the colour as a swatch. Anything that looks like a key only flashes a lock. Nothing is kept or sent, and there is no history.

Push a status from any script.

runnock alert puts a line on the island when tests fail, a deploy finishes or a backup is done. It talks to the app over a local socket, opens no network port, and exits with a code your script can read. Shortcuts can do the same with a runnock://alert link.

runnock alert --title tests --body "3 failed" --level fail --open "$PWD"

It finds your agents and connects them.

On first launch Runnock looks for the coding agents on your Mac and offers to connect them in one click. Hooks are added next to yours, after a backup.

Works with: Claude Code, Codex, Grok Build, Command Code, Devin, Qwen Code, GitHub Copilot CLI, pi, Kimi Code.

You decide what it watches

Every source is a switch, every alert has its own sound, and nothing runs that you did not turn on.

Pay once. Keep it.

No subscription, no account, no analytics.

Questions

Does Runnock see my code?

No. It reads the events your agents report: the tool name, a short summary with secrets masked, and the message you sent. They stay on your Mac, and there is no analytics. What leaves your Mac is the license check, GitHub requests you turn on (through your own gh login), and, if you keep usage alerts on, a request to Anthropic or xAI for your usage with the sign-in Claude Code or Grok keeps on your Mac. Clipboard context is off until you switch it on, and keeps nothing.

Can my own scripts talk to it?

Yes. runnock alert (or a runnock://alert link from Shortcuts) puts a status on the island. It uses a local socket, opens no network port and keeps nothing on disk. When Runnock is not running, or you switched it off in Settings, the command exits with a code that says so.

What do I need?

A Mac with Apple silicon, on macOS 26 or later. Intel Macs are not supported.

Does it work on a Mac without a notch?

Yes. On a screen without one, Runnock draws a notch at the top of the screen.

How many Macs can I use a key on?

As many as the plan you bought: 1, 2 or 3. Deactivate one in Settings and the key is free for another Mac.

Can I try it first?

There is no trial. Downloading is free, but Runnock stays locked until a license is activated. If it is not for you, see the refund page.
