One agent fits in a terminal tab. Four, on two machines, don't: you lose track of which one finished, which one is stuck on a question and which one is waiting for your OK. This guide covers the ways to keep track of them on a Mac, and the apps for each.
Pick by what your agents are. If they're of different kinds (OpenClaw, Hermes, Claude Code, Codex) or on different machines, littleguys puts them in one chat app, with a little guy in the menu bar that shows who's working and who needs you. If they're coding agents you hand tasks to, a parallel-agents app keeps each in its own worktree and tells you which one needs you: Conductor, Parallel Code, agmux or Agentbox. If they run in tmux, AI Maestro is a dashboard over them. If you like your terminals, a menu bar monitor shows their status.
A WhatsApp-style chat app where each agent is a contact: OpenClaw, Hermes, Claude Code, Codex and any ACP agent. A little guy in the menu bar shows whether they're idle, working, have news or need you, and a click lists them all with their last message and a quick reply.
Pick it if your agents are of different kinds, or on different machines, and you want to glance at one menu bar icon, then chat, approve and schedule from one small window.

A Mac app that runs Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and OpenCode agents in parallel, each in its own workspace: a git worktree and branch, with a terminal, diffs, pull requests and checks. It starts its own sessions, and has an iPhone app.
Pick it if they're coding agents you hand tasks to, and you want each in its own worktree, reviewed as a pull request.

Sends coding agents (Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, Copilot or any terminal agent) off in parallel, each in its own worktree, on a board sorted into Needs you, Stopped, Working and In pull request. You review the diffs, comment inline and merge.
Pick it if you want a free, open-source board that tells you which coding task needs you. It starts its own agents.

A Mac app for running coding agents side by side (Claude Code, Codex, Gemini, Cursor, OpenCode, Hermes and more), each as a chat or a real terminal, showing which one is waiting for you, with approval notifications on your Mac and phone and a worktree per task.
Pick it if you want many coding agents side by side with a phone remote. It's young, and its analytics are on by default.

AgentsRoom by Jean-Baptiste Chauvin
A multi-project workspace for 17 coding agents, Claude Code and Codex among them, with live state per agent, worktrees, and Allow or Deny from your iPhone's Live Activities. It can pick up Claude Code and Codex conversations you started in a terminal.
Pick it if you juggle several projects, each with its own agents, on Mac, Windows or Linux and your phone. It needs an account.

A dashboard in your browser for agents running in tmux, on this Mac and other machines. It finds tmux sessions on its own, shows chat history, status and approval cards for Claude Code, Codex and Grok Build, and adds memory and agent-to-agent messaging.
Pick it if you already run your agents in tmux, maybe across machines, and want one dashboard over them.

An inbox for running many Claude Code and Codex sessions at once: each task is a row that comes back when its agent is done or stuck, with a summary and suggested answers, plus worktrees, terminals and diffs. It starts its own session for each task.
Pick it if they're Claude Code and Codex tasks, and you'd like each back as an inbox row when it's done or stuck.

Small apps that watch the Claude Code and Codex sessions already running in your terminals: Opsnook in the notch ($3.99 on the App Store), and CodexBar, ClaudeBar and so-agentbar, which also track quota, usage and cost.
Pick it if you're happy in terminals but want to see at a glance which session is working, waiting or burning through your quota.
