Hey all, I’ve built Nekode (https://github.com/Jakob-98/nekode), which is desktop-cats for monitoring your AI coding agent sessions (OpenCode/Claude Code/ Copilot CLI/VSCode Copilot). It works as a macOS menubar app, and the cats run around on your desktop.

Each cat mirrors the agent's state, such as sleeping when idle, walking when working, sitting when waiting for input, running toward your cursor when it needs permission.

Fully native Swift, no Electron, under 5 MB, zero network requests, all session data stays local as plain JSON.

I published it source-available with an honor-system license, but this week I’m going to fully open source it and remove the licence. The payment/nag system was an interesting experiment but the project is more useful to me as a proper OSS tool at this point.
