Hallmonitor

Hallmonitor is a terminal, menu bar and notch monitor for Claude Code, Codex and opencode coding agent sessions.

Hallmonitor displays live status, activity timelines, and token usage for Claude Code, Codex and opencode sessions. It runs in your terminal, menu bar, and MacBook notch, organizing agents into cards that show current tools, prompts, model details, and context sizes. The app groups agents by whether they are working, idle, or need your attention due to permissions or questions. You can track usage across multiple machines over plain SSH without running a daemon or open port. It also supports optional interactive answers directly from the notch for Claude Code sessions. The software operates locally by default with no telemetry, accounts, or prompt text storage.
