About AgentMicro
AgentMicro is a free, open-source companion for OpenAI Codex designed to run in the macOS menu bar. It displays real-time task statuses across parallel Codex sessions, eliminating the need to reopen the Codex interface. The app shows indicators for thinking states, unread results, input requests, errors, and idle statuses at a glance. Each task row includes the project name, current-turn duration, and a fast-mode marker to help users quickly prioritize where to focus. AgentMicro operates locally by reading session metadata and does not transmit prompts, code, responses, or task history to external services. It is built specifically for developers and teams using OpenAI Codex who want to monitor ongoing tasks efficiently without disrupting their workflow.
