Notifications are either interrupting you or silently piling up. There is no middle setting. So I spent 3 weeks building one — 20 tools 🧵 1/ Terse · macOS + Windows Notifications from every app condense out of a particle field on your wallpaper, hold, then dissolve. Each source gets its own switch. Nothing covers your work, and nothing is lost in a stack you’ll never open. github.com/Terse-AI/terseai terseai.org 2/ The Boring Notch Free, GPL-3.0, and the best open-source dynamic island for Mac. Notifications and media land in the notch instead of over your window. github.com/TheBoredTeam/bori… 3/ Atoll The other free GPL-3.0 notch app. Lighter than Boring Notch — worth trying both and keeping whichever one you forget is running. getatoll.app 4/ NotchNook The polished paid one. $25 once for 5 devices, or $3/mo. If the free ones feel rough, this is what you’re actually comparing them to. lo.cafe/notchnook 5/ Alcove $14.99 once, does notifications in the notch and little else. The cheap, focused pick. tryalcove.com 6/ DynamicLake Pro $13.99 once, with iMessage, WhatsApp and Slack alerts surfaced specifically. Good if those three are 90% of what you get. dynamiclake.com 7/ Muzzle Automatically turns on Do Not Disturb the moment you share your screen. One job, and it has saved more careers than any other app on this list. muzzleapp.com 8/ macOS Focus modes Built in, and still the most underused thing on your Mac. Per-mode allowed apps and people, auto-triggered by time, location or app. Pair with Shortcuts for automation. 9/ Windows notification priority Also built in. Settings → Notifications lets you set priority per app so three apps can break through and the rest queue silently. Most people never open this page. 10/ Windhawk · Windows A mod store for the Windows shell. Not notification-specific, but it’s how you change toast and tray behaviour that Windows won’t let you touch. github.com/ramensoftware/win… 11/ ntfy Self-hosted pub/sub push over plain HTTP POST. Official iOS and Android apps — the iOS support is why it won this category. github.com/binwiederhier/ntf… ntfy.sh 12/ Gotify Self-hosted with a web UI and real message history. Android-only officially, so pick it over ntfy if nobody’s on an iPhone. github.com/gotify/server 13/ Apprise Not a server — a routing library that sends one message to 70+ providers. The glue between your scripts and whatever you actually read. github.com/caronc/apprise 14/ Pushover Paid, boring, and it has never once failed to deliver. Buy it when the self-hosted stack has woken you up at 3am for the wrong reason. pushover.net 15/ noti Prefix any command and get a notification when it finishes. noti make build and go get coffee without checking back every 40 seconds. github.com/variadico/noti 16/ terminal-notifier · macOS Native Mac notifications from any shell script, with actions and sounds. The building block under half the tools above. github.com/julienXX/terminal… 17/ KDE Connect Phone notifications on your desktop, cross-platform and open source. Reply to texts from your keyboard without touching the phone. kdeconnect.kde.org 18/ Phone Link · Windows Microsoft’s version, built in, and genuinely good now if you’re on Android. Zero setup compared to #17. apps.microsoft.com 19/ Hammerspoon · macOS Lua scripting for the OS. Intercept notifications, route them by rule, trigger anything. The escape hatch when no app does what you want. github.com/Hammerspoon/hamme… 20/ Pushcut Custom notifications with buttons that fire shortcuts and webhooks. Turns “something happened” into “something happened, tap to handle it.” pushcut.io 21/ The setup that actually works: Everything ambient by default (1–6). Three apps allowed to interrupt (8–9). Anything that genuinely can’t wait goes to your phone via 11–14. Notification badges are a to-do list someone else wrote for you. github.com/Terse-AI/terseai What’s your setup? 👇

Someone built a tool that renders your Claude Code agents as a voxel village, where each agent walks between buildings based on which tool it’s calling. That’s real. It’s #5. 20 ways to actually see your agents 🧵 1/ Terse Projects anything on your machine into live 3D particles — and every project you publish becomes a villa in Code Town, a particle town you can walk. Doubles as the agent dashboard: sessions, context left, cost per turn. github.com/Terse-AI/terseai terseai.org 2/ zoetrope Turns a chaotic Claude Code session into a live flow graph, in your terminal or your browser. The one getting passed around right now, and deservedly. github.com/furkankly/zoetrop… 3/ herdr Same idea, Rust and ratatui, built for people who never leave the terminal. Watch a Claude Code or Codex session branch in real time. github.com/brac/herdr 4/ ai-office-dollhouse · Windows A desktop overlay that renders live coding-agent activity as an animated 2.5D office. Covers Codex, Claude, Gemini and Grok at once. github.com/leavemagic-cyber/… 5/ claude-village The voxel village from the hook. Electron app, agents walk between zones depending on which tool they’re running. Absurd and immediately legible. github.com/haimadrian/claude… 6/ Vibisual Claude Code agents as a live bubble map on a canvas. Scales better than a village when you’re running a lot of them. github.com/Vibisual/vibisual 7/ hermes-pixel-ui Pixel-art dashboard showing sessions as agents, tools and task progress inside an interactive office. Proof that a status view doesn’t have to look like Grafana. github.com/davinson-pezo/her… 8/ agent-flow Real-time view of Claude Code orchestration — agents branching and coordinating as they work. The clearest answer to “what spawned what.” github.com/patoles/agent-flo… 9/ pepeclaw Self-evolving agents rendered across eight interactive WebGL rooms. More art project than tool, and worth opening once for the ideas alone. github.com/BitmapAsset/pepec… 10/ Those are things you watch. These are what you build your own with 👇 11/ React Flow The node-graph library underneath most agent builders you’ve used. Custom nodes, edges, minimap — a working agent graph in an afternoon. github.com/xyflow/xyflow reactflow.dev 12/ Cytoscape.js Real graph theory — layouts, clustering, pathfinding. Reach for it when the agent graph is big enough that hand-placing nodes stops working. github.com/cytoscape/cytosca… 13/ Sigma.js WebGL graph rendering built for thousands of nodes. The one that stays at 60fps when Cytoscape starts to chug. github.com/jacomyal/sigma.js 14/ D3 When you need exactly your visualization and nothing else will do. Steeper than everything above and still the ceiling. github.com/d3/d3 15/ Graphviz Feed it DOT, get a laid-out graph. Zero frontend, works in CI, and your agent can emit DOT as easily as it emits text. graphviz.org 16/ Mermaid Diagram as code that renders in GitHub, your docs and your PRs. Have the agent draw its own plan — lowest effort on this list, highest hit rate. mermaid.js.org 17/ Perfetto The trace viewer from Chrome and Android. Convert agent spans to its format and you get a timeline no LLM-specific tool matches for zooming and pinning. ui.perfetto.dev 18/ Speedscope Flamegraphs in the browser. Turns “the run took 90 seconds” into “one tool call took 71 of them” in about four seconds of looking. github.com/jlfwong/speedscop… 19/ Excalidraw The hand-drawn architecture diagram people actually keep updated, because it takes two minutes and doesn’t look like it needs to be perfect. github.com/excalidraw/excali… 20/ tldraw Infinite canvas with a real SDK. If you’re building the agent-visualization tool rather than using one, start here instead of from scratch. github.com/tldraw/tldraw 21/ The pattern worth stealing: have the agent emit Mermaid or DOT describing what it just did, and render it in the PR. No install, no dashboard, and the diagram is right where the review happens. What’s the weirdest agent visualizer you’ve seen? 👇

You're running six agents and your dashboard is Cmd+Tab.
3 weeks, 100+ tools. These 20 give you an actual panel 🧵 1/ Terse
Projects anything on your machine into live 3D particles — and doubles as the agent dashboard. Every Claude Code, Cursor and Codex session: who's running what, context left, cost per turn, with a spend breaker. On your wallpaper, not in a tab.
github.com/Terse-AI/terseai 
terseai.org 2/ Mission Control
Self-hosted control plane: dispatch tasks, review runs, track spend, operate Claude Code, Codex and other runtimes from one panel. The closest thing to a real ops console.
github.com/builderz-labs/mis… 3/ agent-fleet-o
Self-hosted orchestration with visual DAG workflows, 670+ MCP tools and human-in-the-loop approval gates. Works across Claude, GPT, Gemini and Ollama.
github.com/escapeboy/agent-f… 4/ Conductor · macOS
Parallel Claude Code and Codex agents, each in its own git worktree, with a diff-first review panel. The fastest way to go multi-agent on a Mac.
conductor.build 5/ Vibe Kanban
Agents as cards. Drag to In Progress, each gets a worktree and branch, review diffs on the board. 10+ agents supported, Apache-2.0.
github.com/BloopAI/vibe-kanb… 6/ claude-view
Mission control for every Claude Code session on your machine — live sessions, sub-agent tree, tool calls, cost, 90-day heatmap. One npx command.
github.com/tombelieber/claud… 7/ LangGraph Studio
Your agent as an actual graph. Step through nodes, edit state mid-run, fork from any point. Still the best visual debugger for graph-shaped agents.
langchain.com/langgraph-stud… 8/
That's the half everyone builds. The other half is the dashboard you ship with your agent — the panel your users look at. Different problem, different tools 👇 9/ AG-UI protocol
The emerging standard for agent↔app communication. 1.0 shipped in September — 31 event types, MIT, SDKs for TS, Python and .NET. Build against this, not a vendor.
github.com/ag-ui-protocol/ag… 10/ CopilotKit
One vendor for the protocol, the runtime and the components. React, Vue, Angular and React Native, with frontend tools and human-in-the-loop hooks. They wrote AG-UI.
copilotkit.ai 11/ assistant-ui
Composable React chat primitives that front a backend you already run — adapters for the AI SDK, LangGraph and AG-UI. Use it when you want the pieces, not the stack.
assistant-ui.com 12/ Vercel AI SDK
Streaming agent output into React and Next with generative UI built in. The default if your product is already a Next app.
ai-sdk.dev 13/ Streamlit
Chat and charts in the same Python file. Still the fastest path from a working agent to something a colleague can click.
streamlit.io 14/ Gradio
Share a demo in twenty lines and a public link. For showing an agent to people, nothing is faster.
gradio.app 15/ Reflex
Full web apps written entirely in Python, React underneath. The step up when Streamlit's layout limits start hurting.
reflex.dev 16/ Open WebUI
A self-hosted front end for local or hosted models, with users, permissions and history. Install it rather than build it.
github.com/open-webui/open-w… 17/ Dify
Open-source platform for shipping LLM apps, with per-app logs and analytics attached. The dashboard comes with the thing you built.
github.com/langgenius/dify 18/ Flowise
Drag-and-drop agent builder where the canvas doubles as the run view. Good for handing a working flow to someone non-technical.
github.com/FlowiseAI/Flowise 19/ Agent Chat UI
A drop-in chat front end for LangGraph agents. When you need a usable UI this afternoon and the agent is the actual work.
github.com/langchain-ai/agen… 20/ Grafana
Once agent telemetry is OTel, the dashboard is solved — token burn, tool error rates, p95 step latency, next to your infra.
grafana.com 21/
Pick by who's reading it. You, at 2am, debugging → fleet tools (1–7).
Your users → the UI layer (9–19).
Your CFO → OTel into Grafana. What's yours? 👇

You hit your Claude Code limit mid-refactor. Again. 
There's an entire ecosystem that warns you before that happens — and most people run none of it. I spent 2 weeks, tried 100+tools, these 20 fix that 1/ Terse
Live session monitoring across Claude Code, Cursor and Codex — turns, context left, cost per turn — plus a runaway-spend circuit breaker and MCP management. On-device, with 40–70% prompt compression underneath. 
github.com/Terse-AI/terseai 
terseai.org 2/ ccusage
Reads Claude Code's local session files and reports by day, week, month or session. No proxy, no signup, one command. Start here.
github.com/ryoppippi/ccusage 3/ Claude Code Usage Monitor
A terminal UI with burn-rate prediction — it tells you you're going to hit the limit in 40 minutes, instead of at the moment you hit it.
github.com/Maciek-roboblog/C… 4/ cctally
Local dashboard with forecasting, covering Claude Code and Codex together. ccusage-compatible, so it reads data you already have.
github.com/omrikais/cctally 5/ claude-code-usage-bar
Puts 5-hour and 7-day usage bars directly in Claude Code's status line. The number is in front of you while you work, which is the only place it's useful.
github.com/leeguooooo/claude… 6/ Codenotch
Pins your limits to the edge of the screen for Claude Code, Cursor and Codex at once. macOS-first, and it uses the notch dead space.
github.com/vinzdg/codenotch 7/ OpenUsage
The broadest multi-provider coverage, with a plugin architecture and a local API you can query yourself. Good if you run more than two agents.
openusage.ai 8/ CodeQuota
Tracks Claude and Copilot usage over OAuth rather than scraping local files — more reliable, less setup.
codequota.dev 9/ SessionWatcher
Paid, from about $7 one-time, with real notifications and cost tracking across tools. Worth it if free trackers keep silently dying on you.
sessionwatcher.com 10/ AI Usage Notch
Minimal menu bar / notch readout. Does one thing, takes ten seconds to set up, never asks for anything again.
usagenotch.com 11/ claude-view
Mission control for every Claude Code session on your machine — live sessions, sub-agent tree, tool calls, costs, 90-day heatmap. One npx command.
github.com/tombelieber/claud… 12/ AgentsView
A searchable archive across 60+ agent formats, with peak concurrency, active vs idle time and cost. Local by default.
agentsview.io 13/ Claude Code's own OpenTelemetry
Already built in, off by default. CLAUDE_CODE_ENABLE_TELEMETRY=1 and it emits cost, tokens, sessions, lines of code, commits and PRs to any OTel backend.
code.claude.com/docs/en/moni… 14/ Prometheus + Grafana
Point the metrics exporter at it and build your own boards. Free, self-hosted, and you own the data forever.
prometheus.io · grafana.com 15/ Grafana Cloud
A managed Claude Code integration with prebuilt dashboards for metrics and logs, plus an MCP path. Free tier covers one developer.
grafana.comm 16/ SigNoz
Built around Claude Code's native OTel output. Cloud or self-hosted — the pick when you want OTel without handing data to a vendor.
github.com/SigNoz/signoz
signoz.io 17/ Honeycomb
Prebuilt Claude Code boards plus documented investigation workflows. Strongest when you want to ask questions of the data, not just watch a dial.
honeycomb.io 18/ Datadog Agent Console
Org-wide coding-agent dashboards — spend, users, sessions, engineering activity across several agents. Still in preview.
datadoghq.com 19/ CloudWatch Coding Agent Insights
Prebuilt fleet dashboards covering Claude Code, Codex and Copilot. Built for "how is the whole org using agents", not single-session debugging.
aws.amazon.com/cloudwatch 20/ Dash0 AI Coding Insights
Drills from cost into individual sessions, tools and MCP activity, then links sessions to the GitHub PRs they produced. $10 per developer per month.
dash0.com 21/
 What are you running? 👇

I built this app in 2 hours Six months later It got 16k+ ARR terseai.org

macOS 27 quietly broke half the Mac customization guides on the internet.
I spent 3 weeks rebuilding mine from scratch to find out what still works.
20 tools 🧵 1/ Terse
Rebuilds your wallpaper as a 3D particle field that keeps your own picture's colours — lyrics, notifications, window titles and your coding agents surface out of it. Unaffected by the menu bar changes.
github.com/Terse-AI/terseai 
terseai.org 2/ AeroSpace
i3-style tiling that works without disabling SIP. Emulated workspaces instead of fighting Mission Control — this is what replaced yabai for most people.
github.com/nikitabobko/AeroS… 3/ SketchyBar
A fully scriptable status bar written in C. The backbone of basically every Mac rice you've admired. Pairs with AeroSpace to show real workspace state.
github.com/FelixKratz/Sketch… 4/ JankyBorders
Draws a coloured border around the active window. Sounds trivial, and it's the single thing that makes a tiled Mac setup legible.
github.com/FelixKratz/JankyB… 5/ Loop
Radial window snapping — hold a key, flick the mouse, the window lands. Free, open source, and far nicer to use than the classic shortcut-grid approach.
github.com/MrKai77/Loop 6/ Übersicht
Desktop widgets written in HTML/CSS/JS. If you want Rainmeter on a Mac and can write a little frontend, nothing else comes close.
github.com/felixhageloh/uebe… 7/ Raycast
Spotlight replacement that turned into a whole platform — themes, extensions, window commands, clipboard. The one paid-ish tool most ricers keep.
raycast.com 8/ Karabiner-Elements
Remap anything. Turn Caps Lock into a Hyper key and suddenly you have 20 free global shortcuts nothing else is using.
github.com/pqrs-org/Karabine… 9/ Hammerspoon
Lua scripting for the whole OS. Leader-key sequences, window rules, app automation — the escape hatch when no app does what you want.
github.com/Hammerspoon/hamme… 10/ BetterTouchTool
The deepest control available over trackpad, mouse and keyboard. Note: on macOS 27 its menu bar features need 6.569+ and a layout-loading workaround.
folivora.ai 11/ Homerow
Vimium for all of macOS — hit a shortcut, every clickable element gets a letter. Removes the mouse from your workflow entirely.
homerow.app 12/ Stats
CPU, GPU, memory, network and temps in the menu bar. Free, open source, more readable than most paid monitors.
github.com/exelban/stats 13/ Itsycal
A tiny calendar that drops down from the menu bar clock. Does the one thing Apple left out and nothing else.
github.com/sfsam/Itsycal 14/ Maccy
Clipboard history, free and open source, keyboard-first. The sort of utility you forget you installed and then can't work without.
github.com/p0deje/Maccy 15/ Shottr
Screenshots with scrolling capture, OCR, measurement and pixel-perfect annotation. Fast, tiny, and free for the core features.
shottr.cc 16/ Dropover
Shake to create a shelf, drop files in, carry them between windows and Spaces. Fixes macOS drag-and-drop, which has been broken since forever.
dropoverapp.com 17/ MonitorControl
Brightness and volume keys that work on external displays. Open source, and it fixes the most irritating gap in multi-monitor Mac life.
github.com/MonitorControl/Mo… 18/ Thaw or Brow · menu bar
Here's the macOS 27 casualty list: Ice, Hidden Bar, Barbee and Glow are broken. Thaw (open source) and Brow both passed testing; Bartender 6 works in beta.
github.com/janabhumi/Thaw 19/ omarchmymac
A one-shot installer for the whole tiling stack — AeroSpace, SketchyBar, Hammerspoon leader keys and themes, configured together instead of fought individually.
github.com/dbfx/omarchmymac 20/ Nerd Fonts
Patched fonts with icons built in. SketchyBar, your terminal and your editor all assume you have these. Install this first, not last.
github.com/ryanoasis/nerd-fo…
nerdfonts.com What's your Mac running? 👇

Your agents burned through $600 last month and you can't say on what. 
I spent 72 hours, tested 100+ tools. These 20 cut the bill 🧵 1/ Terse
Strips what the model doesn't need before the prompt ever leaves your machine — 35+ techniques, 40–70% off verbose prompts, under 5ms, zero cloud. Cache-aware, so provider caching keeps hitting. Plus a runaway-spend breaker. 
github.com/Terse-AI/terseai 
terseai.org 2/ ccusage
Reads your actual Claude Code spend straight from the local session files. No signup, no proxy, one command. Start here — you can't cut what you haven't measured.
github.com/ryoppippi/ccusage 3/ tokencost
Token and price estimates for hundreds of models, as a Python library. Drop it in before a call, not after the invoice.
github.com/AgentOps-AI/token… 4/ Langfuse
Cost attribution per trace, per session, per user. The answer to "which feature is eating the budget" rather than just "the budget is big."
github.com/langfuse/langfuse 5/ AgentOps
Per-run cost for agent sessions. Sort by most expensive, open the worst one, find the retry loop nobody noticed.
github.com/AgentOps-AI/agent… 6/ OpenLLMetry
OTel instrumentation, so token spend lands in the APM you already pay for instead of a tenth dashboard.
github.com/traceloop/openllm… 7/ LLMLingua · Microsoft
The research-grade prompt compressor. Big reductions on long prompts with the task still intact. The paper is worth reading even if you don't ship it.
github.com/microsoft/LLMLing… 8/ TOON
A JSON-shaped format designed to cost fewer tokens. If you're stuffing structured data into prompts, the braces and quotes are real money.
github.com/toon-format/toon 9/ code2prompt
Turns a repo into one structured prompt with a token count attached. Stop pasting whole directories and hoping.
github.com/mufeedvh/code2pro… 10/ mcp-compressor · Atlassian Labs
Compresses MCP tool definitions and outputs. Most people have no idea how much context their MCP servers quietly occupy before the conversation even starts.
github.com/atlassian-labs/mc… 11/ context-rot · Chroma
Research toolkit showing model performance degrades as context grows. The rare case where the cheap option is also the better one.
github.com/chroma-core/conte… 12/ LMCache
KV-cache reuse across requests for self-hosted inference. Pairs with vLLM, and the gains on repeated prefixes are large.
github.com/LMCache/LMCache 13/ GPTCache
Semantic caching — near-identical questions return the stored answer instead of a fresh call. Best ROI on anything user-facing.
github.com/zilliztech/GPTCac… 14/ autocache
Inserts prompt-cache breakpoints for you. Provider caching is the single biggest discount available and most people set it up wrong or not at all.
github.com/montevive/autocac… 15/ LiteLLM
One API across 100+ models, with spend tracking and hard budget limits per key. The default control plane for teams.
github.com/BerriAI/litellm 16/ OpenRouter
Compare live prices across providers, route to whoever's cheapest, fall back when one goes down. No contracts.
openrouter.ai 17/ Bifrost
Rust gateway from the Maxim team. Captures LLM and MCP calls at the request path, so every agent routed through it is logged without code changes.
github.com/maximhq/bifrost 18/ vLLM Semantic Router
Routes by what the request actually is. Easy turns go to the cheap model, hard ones to the good one — which is where most of the savings hide.
github.com/vllm-project/sema… 19/ Portkey
Gateway with fallbacks, retries, guardrails and budget caps on one hop. Governance rather than optimization, but it stops the $3k surprise.
github.com/Portkey-AI/gatewa… 20/ vLLM
The endgame. Past a certain volume, owning inference beats paying per token — and everything above still applies on top of it.
github.com/vllm-project/vllm 21/
Order matters. Measure → turn on prompt caching → compress → route. Most people start at routing, save 15%, and never touch the caching that would have saved 60%. What's your biggest line item? 👇

Your music has looked like a progress bar since 2010. 
3 weeks, 100+ apps tested — these 20 turn your desktop into something worth looking at while it plays 🧵 1/ Terse · macOS + Windows

foobar2000.org 4/ AIMP · Windows
Lightweight, beautiful, with a real EQ and DSP built in. The right pick if MusicBee feels heavy and foobar2000 feels like homework.
aimp.ru 5/ Strawberry · Win / macOS / Linux
The strongest open-source collection manager. MusicBrainz tagging, artwork, lyrics, scrobbling and Subsonic support in one GPL app.
github.com/strawberrymusicpl…
strawberrymusicplayer.org 6/ Audacious · Linux / Windows
Opens instantly, plays the file, stays out of the way. Winamp skins still work. When you don't want a library, you want this.
audacious-media-player.org 7/ Swinsian · macOS
What Apple's Music app should have been for local files. Fast with huge libraries, proper tagging, handles FLAC natively.
swinsian.com 8/ Doppler · macOS
A local music player that looks like it was made in 2026. Drag files in, sync to your phone, no cloud, no account.
brushedtype.co/doppler 9/ Cider · Win / macOS / Linux

github.com/navidrome/navidro…
navidrome.org 13/ Supersonic · desktop client
The nicest desktop client for Navidrome and anything Subsonic-compatible. Fast, native-feeling, free.
github.com/dweymouth/superso… 14/ Plexamp · cross-platform
If your music already lives in Plex, this is the best-designed music app most people have never opened. Superb on a second screen.
plex.tv/plexamp 15/ cmus · terminal
Full library player in a terminal, vim keybindings, almost no memory. It will still be running when your GUI player has been rewritten twice.
cmus.github.io 16/ ncmpcpp + MPD · terminal
The classic setup: MPD as a daemon that never stops playing, ncmpcpp as the face. Swap clients, restart your DE, the music keeps going.
github.com/ncmpcpp/ncmpcpp 17/ LRCGET + LRCLIB · cross-platform
Bulk-downloads time-synced .lrc lyrics for your whole local library, from a free open database. The missing piece for every local player.
github.com/tranxuanthang/lrc…
lrclib.net 18/ projectM · cross-platform
Milkdrop reborn, open source. Thousands of reactive visualizer presets, as a window or a full screen. Your 2003 Winamp nostalgia, GPU-accelerated.
github.com/projectM-visualiz… 19/ Cava · terminal
A spectrum analyzer in your terminal. Pointless, gorgeous, three commands to install. Every screenshot you've admired had this in the corner.
github.com/karlstav/cava 20
 What's your setup? 👇

You have 6 agents running right now and no idea what any of them are doing. I spent 72 hours finding every tool that shows you what your agents are actually doing. 1/ Terse
Your agents' work rendered onto your wallpaper as live particles, plus Code Town — every project becomes a villa you can walk through. The session manager shows who's running what, context left, and cost.
github.com/Terse-AI/terseai
terseai.org 2/ Conductor · macOS
Run multiple Claude Code and Codex agents in parallel, each in its own worktree, with a visual dashboard and diff-first review. Fastest way to go multi-agent on a Mac.
conductor.build 3/ Vibe Kanban
Agents as kanban cards. Drag a task to In Progress, it gets a worktree and a branch, and you review the diff on the board. 10+ agents supported.
github.com/BloopAI/vibe-kanb… 4/ Claude Squad
A Go TUI over tmux + worktrees. If you'd rather watch four agents in a terminal than a browser tab, this is the one.
github.com/smtg-ai/claude-sq… 5/ claude-view
Mission control for every Claude Code session on your machine — live sessions, the sub-agent tree, tool calls, costs, and a 90-day activity heatmap. One npx command.
github.com/tombelieber/claud… 6/ claude-agent-flow
A live tree of the session's subagents rendered beside the transcript, as a Claude Code plugin. Tiny, and it answers "what spawned what" instantly.
github.com/Charlie0113-T/cla… 7/ Claude Code Agent Monitor
Real-time dashboard for Claude Code, Cursor and Codex in one fleet view: sessions, tool usage, subagent hierarchy, kanban board. Built on the hooks system.
github.com/hoangsonww/Claude… 8/ AgentsView
A searchable archive of every coding session you've run across 60+ agent formats, with peak concurrency, active vs idle time, and cost. Stays local by default.
agentsview.io 9/ LangGraph Studio
Your agent graph as an actual graph — step through nodes, edit state mid-run, and fork from any point. Still the best debugger for graph-shaped agents.
langchain.com/langgraph-stud… 10/ AgentOps
Time-travel session replay. Open a failed run and walk it step by step: the reasoning, the malformed tool call, the empty result, the hallucination that followed.
github.com/AgentOps-AI/agent…
agentops.ai 11/ Arize Phoenix
One command gives you a local span tree in the browser. The fastest way to see an agent run without signing up for anything.
github.com/Arize-ai/phoenix
phoenix.arize.com 12/ Langfuse
The trace waterfall most teams end up living in — sessions grouped, every nested span timed and costed, searchable. Self-hostable.
github.com/langfuse/langfuse
langfuse.com 13/ Laminar
Built for agent runs specifically, on a Rust + ClickHouse backend. Stays readable when a single trace has hundreds of spans.
github.com/lmnr-ai/lmnr
lmnr.ai 14/ W&B Weave
Trace trees next to your experiment tracking. Good when you're comparing agent versions rather than debugging one run.
github.com/wandb/weave
wandb.ai/site/weave 15/ Jaeger
The original distributed-tracing UI. Point your OTel exporter at it and you get agent waterfalls for free, fully self-hosted, no vendor.
github.com/jaegertracing/jae…
jaegertracing.io 16/ Grafana
Once agent telemetry is OTel, it's just dashboards — token burn, tool error rates, p95 step latency, on the same wall as your infra.
grafana.com 17/ AutoGen Studio
Visualizes multi-agent conversations: who messaged whom, in what order, and where the loop went wrong. Low-code playground for team-of-agents setups.
github.com/microsoft/autogen 18/ Langflow
Drag-and-drop agent flows where the canvas is also the trace — you watch execution light up node by node.
github.com/langflow-ai/langf…
langflow.org 19/ Chainlit
Gives your agent a chat UI that exposes every intermediate step, tool call and retrieved document by default. Minutes to stand up.
github.com/Chainlit/chainlit
chainlit.io 20/ What are you using? 👇

Your wallpaper has been a static JPEG since 2019. 
I spent 3 weeks testing 100+ wallpaper tools to fix that. 
These 20 are the only ones worth installing⬇️ 1/ Terse · macOS + Windows
Your wallpaper rebuilt as a 3D particle field that keeps your own picture's colours. Song lyrics, notifications, window titles and your coding agents condense out of it, hold, then dissolve. 
github.com/Terse-AI/terseai 
terseai.org 2/ Wallpaper Engine · Windows
The category king. A Steam Workshop library in the millions — 3D scenes, audio visualizers, interactive scenes. $4 one-time. Heavy on GPU if you pick badly.
store.steampowered.com (Wallpaper Engine) 3/ Lively Wallpaper · Windows
The free open-source answer to the above. Video, GIF, shaders and any web page as your background, and it pauses itself on fullscreen.
github.com/rocksdanister/liv…
livelywallpaper.net 4/ ScreenPlay · Win / macOS / Linux
The only serious cross-platform player. Qt-based, open source, runs video, HTML and QML scenes on all three.
github.com/kelteseth/ScreenP…
screen-play.app 5/ Plash · macOS
Any website becomes your desktop. Point it at a live map, a dashboard, a shader, or your own HTML file. Free, open source, tiny.
github.com/sindresorhus/Plas… 6/ Backdrop · macOS
Native Mac live wallpapers that also cover the lock screen and screen saver, with a built-in editor. Paid, but the most polished Mac option.
cindori.com/backdrop 7/ Wallper · macOS
Large curated 4K video library, music sync, and it pauses on battery. One-time price, no subscription.
wallper.app 8/ Aerial · macOS
Apple's own aerial footage as a screen saver, plus your own videos. MIT licensed and completely free.
github.com/JohnCoates/Aerial 9/ Equinox · macOS
Build your own dynamic wallpaper — the kind that shifts with the sun — from a set of your own images. Free and open source.
github.com/rlxone/Equinox 10/ Dynamic Wallpaper Club · macOS
The library for the above. Hundreds of time-of-day .heic wallpapers, free, and zero performance cost since macOS handles the switching.
dynamicwallpaper.club 11/ WinDynamicDesktop · Windows
Brings macOS-style sun-synced wallpapers to Windows. Set your location and the background follows the day.
github.com/t1m0thyj/WinDynam… 12/ Variety · Linux
The classic Linux wallpaper changer. Pulls from multiple online sources, rotates on a schedule, applies filters, all configurable.
github.com/varietywalls/vari… 13/ swww · Linux / Wayland
Wallpaper daemon with real animated transitions between images. The piece most Wayland rices are missing.
github.com/LGFae/swww 14/ mpvpaper · Linux / Wayland
Plays any video as your wallpaper through mpv. If it plays in mpv, it runs on your desktop.
github.com/GhostNaN/mpvpaper 15/ John's Background Switcher · Windows + macOS
Rotates wallpapers from Flickr, Unsplash, your own folders, and more — collages included. Free, and it has quietly worked for 20 years.
johnsadventures.com 16/ DisplayFusion · Windows
The multi-monitor answer. Different wallpaper per screen, spanned images done correctly, plus per-monitor taskbars.
displayfusion.com 17/ Bing Wallpaper · Windows
A new professional photo every day, from Microsoft, free, zero setup. The lowest-effort upgrade on this list.
bing.com/wallpaper 18/ Wallhaven · web
Still the best wallpaper site that exists. Search by resolution, colour and aspect ratio, so you never crop a 1080p image onto a 4K screen again.
wallhaven.cc 19/ Unsplash · web
Free high-resolution photography, no attribution required. Where to go when you want calm and minimal rather than anime and neon.
unsplash.com 20/ Shadertoy · web
Thousands of live GPU shaders. Paste any of them into Plash or Lively and you have an animated wallpaper nobody else on earth is running.
shadertoy.com 21/

A live wallpaper eating 15% of your GPU during a call is how people end up back on a static JPEG. What's on your desktop right now?

Your desktop has looked the same for 5 years. 
I spent 3 weeks finding the 20 tools that fix that. 
Bookmark this one 🧵 1/ Terse · macOS + Windows
Rebuilds your wallpaper as a 3D particle field that keeps your own picture's colours. Song lyrics, notifications, window titles and your coding agents condense out of it, hold, then dissolve. 
github.com/Terse-AI/terseai 
terseai.org 2/ Rainmeter · Windows
Still the king. Skins turn empty desktop space into live CPU/RAM dashboards, clocks, visualizers — anything you can imagine someone has already built. 
github.com/rainmeter/rainmet… 
rainmeter.net 3/ Lively Wallpaper · Windows
Animated and interactive wallpapers, including any web page or shader. Free, open source, and it pauses itself when you go fullscreen. 
github.com/rocksdanister/liv… 
livelywallpaper.net 4/ Windhawk · Windows
A mod store for the Windows shell. Restyle the taskbar, fix the Start menu, patch Explorer — small auditable modules instead of a full shell replacement. 
github.com/ramensoftware/win… 
windhawk.net 5/ TranslucentTB · Windows
Makes the taskbar transparent. One setting, almost zero resources, and it instantly makes every wallpaper look better. 
github.com/TranslucentTB/Tra… 6/ YASB · Windows
A macOS-style top status bar for Windows, configured in YAML. The fastest way to get a clean glanceable bar without Rainmeter's learning curve. 
github.com/amnweb/yasb 7/ PowerToys · Windows
Microsoft's own power-user kit. FancyZones alone — drag windows into layouts you define — is worth the install. 
github.com/microsoft/PowerTo… 8/ ExplorerPatcher · Windows
Brings back the taskbar and Explorer behaviour Windows 11 took away. Check compatibility after big updates, but nothing else goes this deep. 
github.com/valinet/ExplorerP… 9/ Nilesoft Shell · Windows
Replaces the right-click menu with a fast, fully scriptable one. Underrated — you touch this UI a hundred times a day. 
github.com/moudey/Shell 
nilesoft.org 10/ Flow Launcher · Windows
Spotlight for Windows, with plugins and themes. Launch, search files, run commands from one keystroke. 
github.com/Flow-Launcher/Flo… 
flowlauncher.com 11/ Übersicht · macOS 
Desktop widgets written in HTML/CSS/JS. If you ever wanted Rainmeter on a Mac and you can write a little frontend, this is it.
github.com/felixhageloh/uebe…
tracesof.net/uebersicht 12/ SketchyBar · macOS
Replaces the menu bar with a fully scriptable one written in C. The backbone of nearly every serious Mac rice you've seen on r/unixporn. 
github.com/FelixKratz/Sketch… 13/ Ice · macOS
The free open-source answer to a crowded menu bar — visible, hidden and always-hidden sections, notch-aware.
github.com/jordanbaird/Ice 14/ Stats · macOS
CPU, GPU, memory, network and temps in the menu bar. Free, open source, and more readable than most paid monitors.
github.com/exelban/stats 15/ AeroSpace · macOS
i3-style tiling that works without disabling SIP. Emulated workspaces make it far less fragile than the old yabai setup.
github.com/nikitabobko/AeroS… 16/ Rectangle · macOS
If tiling is too much, this is the 90% answer: snap windows with keyboard shortcuts, free, nothing to learn.
github.com/rxhanson/Rectangl…
rectangleapp.com 17/ Raycast · macOS
Spotlight replacement that became a whole launcher platform — themes, extensions, clipboard history, window commands.
raycast.com 18/ Plash · macOS
Puts any website on your desktop as the wallpaper. Live dashboards, shaders, your own HTML — no extra app needed.
github.com/sindresorhus/Plas… 19/ Starship · cross-platform
The terminal is half your screen. One config file, a prompt that shows git state, language versions and runtime, instantly.
github.com/starship/starship
starship.rs 20
The trick isn't installing all 20. Pick one layer — wallpaper, bar, windows, terminal — and finish it before touching the next one. Drop your setup below 👇

Codex + 1 hour I built an app to project anything as 3D particles on desktop— Your music Your Claude code activity Your token bills Check it here: terseai.org GitHub github.com/Terse-AI/terseai

I Spent 48 hours building the most complete list of AI agent monitoring tools anywhere. 
20 tools. Every link included. 🧵 Bookmark if you think it’s helpful: 1/ Terse
A butler layer for your coding agents: live session monitoring across Claude Code, Cursor and Codex, a runaway-spend circuit breaker, MCP management, and 40–70% prompt compression. All on-device.
github.com/Terse-AI/terseai 
terseai.org 2/ Langfuse
The default open-source pick for production. Tracing + evals + prompt management, MIT core, self-host at real scale. Acquired by ClickHouse in Jan 2026, still open.
github.com/langfuse/langfuse
langfuse.com 3/ Arize Phoenix
Spin up a local trace viewer in one command. Best-in-class for debugging RAG and agent spans before you commit to a vendor.
github.com/Arize-ai/phoenix
phoenix.arize.com 4/ Opik (Comet)
Fully Apache-2.0 backend — no open-core asterisk. Tracing, LLM-as-judge evals, prompt experiments and guardrails together.
github.com/comet-ml/opik
comet.com/site/products/opik 5/ LangSmith
If you're on LangChain or LangGraph, nothing traces agent state transitions as cleanly. Annotation queues and datasets are excellent.
smith.langchain.com 6/ AgentOps
Agent-first rather than LLM-call-first. Session replay across a huge number of frameworks, so you watch a run step by step instead of reading spans.
github.com/AgentOps-AI/agent…
agentops.ai 7/ OpenLLMetry (Traceloop)
OTel auto-instrumentation for LLM apps. Emit once, ship to any OTel backend — the cheapest insurance against vendor lock-in.
github.com/traceloop/openllm…
traceloop.com 8/ OpenInference
The instrumentation spec behind Phoenix, covering Python/JS/Java/Go. Worth knowing even if you never run Phoenix, since many tools speak it.
github.com/Arize-ai/openinfe… 9/ OpenLIT
OTel-native and the only one here that also watches your GPUs. Useful if you self-host models and want inference cost next to agent traces.
github.com/openlit/openlit
openlit.io 10/ Laminar
Rust + ClickHouse backend, built specifically for agent runs rather than retrofitted from LLM logging. Fast on high-volume traces.
github.com/lmnr-ai/lmnr
lmnr.ai 11/ Pydantic Logfire
OTel under the hood, but the Python DX is a different league — typed spans, real SQL over your traces. Natural fit with Pydantic AI.
github.com/pydantic/logfire
pydantic.dev/logfire 12/ W&B Weave
If your team already lives in Weights & Biases, agent traces and evals land next to your experiment tracking instead of in a second tool.
github.com/wandb/weave
wandb.ai/site/weave 13/ MLflow
Now has first-class LLM and agent tracing. The pragmatic answer when you already run MLflow and don't want to onboard a new platform.
github.com/mlflow/mlflow
mlflow.org 14/ Helicone
Change your base URL and you're instrumented. Proxy-based, so you get logs, cost and caching across providers with zero code changes.
github.com/Helicone/helicone
helicone.ai 15/ Braintrust
Evaluation-first. Treats regressions as a CI problem — trace search is fast and turning bad production runs into datasets is one click.
braintrust.dev 16/ Datadog LLM Observability
The right call if you're already paying for Datadog. Agent traces sit beside your APM and infra data, so one incident has one timeline.
datadoghq.com 17/ Galileo
Low-latency evaluators that can run inline, which makes it viable as a runtime safety check rather than just offline scoring.
galileo.ai 18/ LangWatch
Pairs production monitoring with pre-deploy agent simulation, so multi-turn failures surface before a user finds them.
github.com/langwatch/langwat…
langwatch.ai 19/ Confident AI + DeepEval
DeepEval is the pytest of LLM evals; Confident AI is the hosted layer that scores every span of a live trace against them.
github.com/confident-ai/deep…
confident-ai.com
