## About

Herdbell is a Mac app for people who run multiple coding agents at once. It monitors Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and Antigravity sessions, showing what each agent is doing and surfacing requests for permission, replies or attention.

A shortcut opens a compact bar at the cursor for approving commands, sending quick replies and handing a chat to another agent. Herdbell lives in the menu bar, supports session history and activity details, and keeps chats, commands and files on the Mac without an account or API keys.
