Codeman is a self-hosted web dashboard for running and monitoring AI coding agents. It launches Claude Code, OpenCode, Codex, Antigravity, Gemini, Pi, or Grok in persistent tmux sessions, with an optional plain shell, and streams their terminals to a browser. Sessions persist across restarts and network drops; idle detection can re-prompt agents, resume them after usage limits reset, and run scheduled jobs, while live floating windows show background agents and subagents. The dashboard is designed for touch devices and includes local echo, QR login, swipe navigation, and push notifications. It can run locally, in Docker, or over SSH, is MIT licensed, runs on the user's machine by default, and states that it has no telemetry.

Headroom is a local-first macOS menu-bar app for monitoring AI coding quotas and software delivery status, with optional iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, and ESP32 desk-display clients. A Python host running on the Mac reads the authentication data and command-line tools already configured for services such as Claude, Codex, Cursor, GitHub, and Vercel, then serves a single local JSON feed; credentials remain on the machine and no Headroom cloud account is required. Its interfaces show provider quota meters, usage rings, burn rate and spend, failed Actions, deployments, monitors, and other attention items, and the iPhone client can approve, deny, or reply to Claude and Codex requests without starting work. The Mac host uses port 8737, requires macOS 14+ and Python 3.9+, and the optional desk display uses a Waveshare ESP32-S3-Touch-AMOLED-1.8 board.

Cyclop is a native macOS SwiftUI/AppKit utility that turns the MacBook notch into a hover-activated panel. It provides media controls for players and browser tabs visible to macOS, a drag-and-drop file shelf, clipboard history, reusable text snippets, calendar entries with meeting join buttons, offline English–Russian translation using macOS facilities, a teleprompter, and scratch notes. The panel unfolds when the pointer reaches the notch and collapses when it leaves; it can also open automatically during file dragging and remain open while a teleprompter script scrolls. The project is distributed as free, open-source software with no external dependencies, requires macOS 15 or newer, and needs one permission granted during first launch.

Noty is a native macOS sticky-notes app built with Swift, SwiftUI, and AppKit. Notes rest as a pill on the screen edge and fan out into tabs when the pointer reaches it, avoiding floating windows and a Dock icon. It supports inline checkbox tasks, quick capture, search, archiving, Markdown editing and export, import, multiple displays, customizable global shortcuts, and automation through a noty:// URL scheme. Notes are stored in a local SQLite database, with note bodies encrypted using AES-GCM through CryptoKit; titles, colours, and timestamps remain in plaintext. The app requires macOS 15 or later, does not require an account or system permissions, and reports no server, analytics, telemetry, or tracking SDK use. It is distributed as a macOS application and DMG, is MIT-licensed, and is not sandboxed or notarized according to the repository.

CodeBurn is a free, open-source, local-first tool by AgentSeal that reads session files written by AI coding tools and reports token usage and estimated cost by provider, model, project, task, and activity. It provides a terminal dashboard and reports, a localhost web dashboard, desktop and tray or menubar views, exports, model comparisons, subscription-plan tracking, and optional cross-device aggregation. Its deterministic analyzers classify work into task categories from tool usage and message keywords, calculate token costs using LiteLLM pricing cached locally, and scan coding-agent sessions for patterns such as repeated file reads, low read-to-edit ratios, uncapped shell output, unused MCP servers, bloated configuration, and retry-heavy work. The optimize command produces estimated savings and fixes; applicable configuration changes are backed up and journaled so they can be undone and later compared with observed usage. The yield command heuristically correlates sessions with Git commits to classify spend as productive, reverted, abandoned, or ambiguous. The guard feature installs opt-in Claude Code hooks for soft and hard session-spending caps, checkpoints, and status-line reporting. CodeBurn also exposes local usage and savings through an MCP server over stdio. The CLI reads data from the local machine without wrappers, proxies, API keys, or uploads; the optional desktop applications can send anonymous bucketed telemetry after consent. It requires Node.js 22.13 or newer, and the repository is licensed under MIT.
