Your agents, at a glance

Pip turns your Mac's notch into a face that watches Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and 29 other coding agents. Approve commands, review plans and answer questions without leaving what you're doing.

01 In the notch

Everything your agents need from you, right where you already look.

3 working

Watch it work.

Hover the notch to peek at every session.

02 Details

A small app. Sweated details.

  1. 01

    Zero setup

    Finds the agents installed on your Mac at launch and every minute after, and repairs hooks an agent update removed. Your original config is kept as .pip-backup.

    auto
  2. 02

    Jump back

    Click a session to land in the exact iTerm2 session, Terminal tab, tmux or WezTerm pane, or the editor window with that project open.

    ⌃⌥J
  3. 03

    No notch? Fine.

    On Macs and displays without one, Pip draws its own at the top of the screen. Lives in the menu bar, never the Dock.

    It reacts

    Eyes follow your pointer, perk up when the notch opens, giggle when poked, look pleased when you allow and squint when you deny.

    Four sound packs

    Pip (bells and marimba), Soft, Arcade (8-bit blips) and macOS. Or drop in your own MP3, WAV, AIFF or M4A for any alert.

    Fails safe

    If Pip isn't running, the bridge exits at once with the agent's neutral answer. Your agents behave as if nothing were installed.

    Stays on your Mac

    Local hook files and a Unix socket. No accounts, no telemetry. The only request is a daily look at Pip's public release list, and you can turn it off.

03 Agents

32 agents. One notch.

Seven are tested against real installs. The rest are built from each agent's hook format and marked experimental. If one misbehaves, open an issue.

04 Keyboard

Hands stay on the keys.

Global shortcuts from any app. The approve and deny keys are only claimed while a request is waiting. Hold ctrl + option here to try.

05 Install

One command and it's in your notch.

Free and open source. Needs macOS 14 or later, on Apple Silicon or Intel. Pip isn't notarized by Apple yet; Homebrew takes care of that for you.

  1. 1

    Install with Homebrew

    brew install --cask kikatsu/tap/pip-notch
  2. 2

    Open it

    open -a Pip

    It connects the agents on your Mac by itself. Look for the eyes in your notch and menu bar.

  3. 3

    Stay current

    brew upgrade --cask pip-notch

    Pip tells you in its menu when a new version is out.
