AgentDeck

Your AI agents, at a glance. Across your desk.

AgentDeck brings your AI agents into one local dashboard. See which are working, waiting for you, or finished—across projects and tools. Watch them in a living aquarium, follow the timeline, and keep usage limits in view. Use your Mac or terminal on its own, or add a tablet, Stream Deck, e-ink reader, or small desk display.

Start with what you already have. No extra hardware required. Use your Mac or terminal on its own, then add the displays that fit your desk.

One local daemon connects your sessions to these screens and controls. Pick one or use several together. Click any image to see it at full size.

Mobile apps and hardware connect to a daemon on your computer. Controls are available when the session exposes a supported control path; other surfaces show status. See the hardware compatibility matrix for model-specific capabilities, including D200X encoder limitations.

A dashboard that feels alive

On your Mac, no extra hardware required. Watch the native app in action below.

Choose the familiar dashboard or the native 3D aquarium on Mac, iPhone/iPad, and Android LCD devices. Each session becomes a creature; its activity changes its movement, and nearby fish react. On mobile, tap empty water to hide the panels and move closer. Tap again to return. Existing preferences are preserved.

The demo follows a fictional coding task in the real native app: agents join, edit code, run tests, wait for permission, and finish. No private workspace data is shown. Watch the high-resolution story or take the hardware desk tour.

What it does

• Follow parallel work. Session names, current tools, and a shared timeline explain what each agent is doing. Collaboration shows reported subagents, task relationships, and recent task history.
• Notice when you are needed. Permission and input requests stand out. Answer or interrupt from supported surfaces when the session provides a real control path; otherwise prompts are display-only.
• Keep usage visible. Claude, Codex, and z.ai/GLM gauges appear where the connected provider supplies usage data. Agent identity and model provider remain separate.
• Choose your display. The 3D scene keeps up to eight foreground residents readable while the roster retains every session. E-ink uses a static rendered backdrop and restrained motion; compact panels keep their focused layouts.

Mac, iPhone, and iPad

Install from the App Store. The Mac app includes its own daemon and needs no Node.js. Enable your agent integrations in Settings, then run your agents normally. iPhone/iPad pair with an AgentDeck daemon on your network.

Requires macOS 26+ or iOS/iPadOS 17+. See the Apple guide.

Terminal, Windows, Linux, and external integrations

Requires Node.js 22, 24, or 26 and a supported agent on macOS 15+, Windows 11, or Linux.

npx @agentdeck/setup
agentdeck daemon install   # refresh hooks and start observation
claude                     # or: codex · opencode · kiro-cli

In another terminal:

agentdeck dashboard        # live sessions, aquarium, usage, and timeline

The Mac app can also attach to the CLI daemon for additional integrations, including Claude subscription gauges and ADB device support. Compare capabilities. For setup problems, run agentdeck diag agents or see installation and troubleshooting.

Existing managed sessions and remote attach

agentdeck claude, agentdeck codex, agentdeck opencode, and agentdeck monitor remain functional, with no removal date. Ordinary local sessions should use the daemon with normal agent commands. Managed-only remote attach, --weight, agent argument overrides, and terminal steering remain available until replacements are validated. See the CLI reference, remote attach guide, and migration discussion.

Agents

AgentDeck is growing beyond coding workflows: Hermes Agent is supported as an opt-in preview (see the table). The table below lists current integrations and how each is observed.

Agent	Observation
Claude Code	Lifecycle hooks; primary supported integration
Codex CLI	Lifecycle hooks and rollout logs
Codex Desktop	Observed on macOS; Windows verification pending
OpenCode	Observer plugin and native events
Kiro CLI / IDE	Transcript observation; delayed, idle-only activity
Antigravity	Passive observation through the CLI daemon
OpenClaw	Experimental Gateway integration
Hermes Agent	Preview: opt-in observer plugin (agentdeck hermes-observer, then hermes plugins enable agentdeck-observer); read-only

Run agents normally; AgentDeck reads their native events rather than scraping terminal screens. Kiro has no managed launcher, and the sandboxed Mac app needs a one-time folder grant for its transcripts. Detailed setup and limitations: configuration, Apple guide, and Gateway guide.

Releases

Compatibility and delivery channels

Use the channel for your device. Components with the same major version work together: a 1.0 device can connect to a 1.5 daemon. Minor and patch versions advance independently; you do not need to update every device together.

Product	Install / update	Release tag
Mac · iPhone · iPad	App Store	apple-v*
Android tablets and e-ink	Google Play · signed GitHub APK	android-v1.6.1
CLI + daemon	npx @agentdeck/setup	npm-v1.6.0
Stream Deck / Mini / XL / Plus / + XL	Elgato Marketplace	streamdeck-v*
Ulanzi D200H / D200X LCD keys	Ulanzi Marketplace; D200X encoders are not supported	ulanzi-v*
ESP32 panels and TRMNL 7.5"	Browser flasher · firmware releases	esp32-v*

Store status, 2026-10-03: Apple iOS and macOS 1.6.0 (7501), Google Play 1.6.1 (23), Elgato 1.6 and Ulanzi 1.6.0 are public. Elgato 1.6 was published from Maker Console and verified on the public Marketplace today; Ulanzi's public listing also reports 1.6.0. All four npm packages serve 1.6.0, and ESP32 1.6.0 firmware assets are available on GitHub. Apple 1.7.0 has uploaded candidates but has not been submitted for review. See delivery tracking for the remaining Play screenshot comparison and the release readback for the next release's verification conditions.

Mobile apps and hardware are companion surfaces: keep a daemon running on your computer. Supported ESP32 boards offer Wi-Fi OTA after the first USB flash; GitHub Android APKs offer wireless updates from Settings. Pixoo, TC001, Timebox, and iDotMatrix setup is covered in the device guide.
