AgentMicro
Track parallel Codex tasks and results live from the macOS menu bar, then return to the matching conversation in one click.
About AgentMicro
AgentMicro is a free, open-source macOS menu-bar app for tracking tasks, projects, and results in parallel without repeatedly opening Codex. Tasks that are thinking, have unread results, await input, show errors, or are idle are easy to spot; active tasks stay at the front of the queue, with each row showing its project, current-turn duration, and fast-mode marker to help decide which task to return to first. Click a task menu item to open its Codex Desktop conversation directly. The app reads local session metadata and does not upload prompts, code, replies, or task history; basic mode needs neither Accessibility permission nor an account. It is independently maintained by the community and is not affiliated with OpenAI or CodexBar.
