At some point, every agent stops and waits on you. Roundtable tells you the moment that happens, and lets you answer without leaving what you're doing.
Free and open source. macOS 14+. Works with Claude Code, Codex, Pi, and Oh My Pi.

The hard part isn't the work anymore. It's knowing which session is waiting.
Agents run on their own now. Kick one off, switch to another, and a few minutes later you're tabbing through terminals trying to find the one that stopped for you. Roundtable is the layer that just tells you.
It sits above your harness and your terminal, in the corner of the screen you're already looking at. It doesn't replace either one.
A small glass dot you drop anywhere on screen. It tucks against the nearest edge and waits there, over full-screen apps too.
When a session needs you the dot stretches into a line telling you which one, right where your eyes already are, then tucks back.
A blocked agent shows the exact command and an Allow or Deny. Roundtable types the answer into that terminal, so you never switch.
Open the list, jump to whatever is waiting, approve or deny, or go straight to the third session, without touching the mouse.
Expand any session to read its recent activity in place. Most of the time that answers the question and you carry on.
It reads your agents own files. Nothing to set up before it works. Enhanced detection is opt-in when you want it.
Waiting and working come straight from each harness's own transcript, no setup. Permission prompts come through each harness's hook, installed with one toggle.
Jumping and answering support iTerm2, tmux, and muxy, landing as precisely as each terminal allows. Everywhere else you still get the alert, the command, and one click to the right window.
Roundtable reads on-disk transcripts and running processes locally. It makes no network calls.
Turning on permission detection edits a harness config file, and backs up the original first. Every toggle is reversible.
Read every line. It's a small Swift app you can build yourself in one command.
