Guide

Know when your coding agent needs you.

Claude Code, Codex and Cursor run for minutes at a time, and then wait for you in a window you aren’t looking at. Ait shows their status in the MacBook notch, so you see it without switching windows.

What you see

How to connect

  1. Download Ait and open it.
  2. Open Settings → Developer.
  3. Click Connect next to Claude Code, Codex or Cursor. Ait adds its hooks to the agent’s settings and keeps a backup of the original file.

Cursor reports working, done and stages through its documented hooks; it can’t show when it waits for approval.

What Ait doesn’t see

Only states, limits and the project folder reach Ait: no prompts, code, commands or credentials. Ait observes and never answers a permission prompt; you approve in the agent. It has no analytics and no account.

For your own scripts

Builds, tests and deploys can report to the island too, with the ait command-line tool: ait activity start build --title "Building", then update and finish.

Try Ait on your Mac.

Free during the public beta. macOS 14 or later, Apple silicon and Intel.
