I made a minimalist Codex notch status bar

I love this, so I made a minimalist version for myself. When an agent is running in Codex, Pac-Man is eating 👾 and becomes all big and green 🤢 when the agent is done, so I know it's time to prompt again. On hover, the notch expands to show the list of running and completed threads. @edwardluox came up with a banger, and I think the Codex team should consider adding this natively because it's really nice 🤗

Edward Luo@edwardluox · Jul 17, 2026I built an app that runs Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Grok, Antigravity, OpenCode, and Pi side by side in my Mac notch. Agent finishes → notch pops. Needs approval → notch pops. One click back to that exact session. no more switching between apps.
