01 / IN THE LOOP
Status, without the search.
Working, waiting, finished, or ready. The sessions that need attention stand out from the ones still making progress.
NATIVE MACOS APP / BUILT FOR THE AGENT ERA
Keep every agent in sight.
Three agents running. One needs an answer. Which terminal was it in? Terminal Beacon keeps track, so the next step is always clear.

01 / THE OVERVIEWSCROLL TO EXPLORE
THE PROBLEM / 01
More agents.
Less tab archaeology.
Three terminals, two projects, one agent waiting for an answer. Terminal Beacon shows what’s happening at the top of the screen. Click a session to jump back into it.
THE DETAILS / 02
A little awareness
goes a long way.
Session status, project context, and a way back. All in one place.
02 / ONE CLICK AWAY
Back to the right session.
Click an agent to return to its Herdr pane, Agent Deck session, or supported terminal window. No guessing which tab was which.
03 / IN CONTEXT
Know what’s where.
Each session shows its repository and branch. Even after a long stretch away, it’s easy to find the right project.
A QUIETER DESKTOP / 03
Out of the way.
Never out of reach.
Agent status lives in the MacBook notch or menu bar. On displays without a notch, it appears in a floating pill. The full session list is there when it’s needed.
THE TOOLCHAIN / 04
Works with the tools
already running.
No new terminal or agent manager required.

Support varies by integration. Pi and Claude Code report richer session states; other standalone agents are discovered through their running processes.
