About this project

Agent Meter is a native macOS menu bar tool designed specifically for Rex terminal users. It provides real-time monitoring of various agent sessions and allows for streamlined management without disrupting workflow. With quick alerts, easy session access, and a focus on efficiency, it enhances productivity for developers using multiple CLI agents.

Agent Meter is a powerful native macOS menu bar CLI agent monitor designed specifically for the Rex terminal. This tool enables real-time detection of active sessions across various agents, including Claude Code, Codex CLI, Copilot CLI, and Antigravity CLI. Users can effortlessly manage these agents from the menu bar, ensuring coding flow is maintained seamlessly.

Key Features

Instant Alerts for Prompts: Receive immediate menu bar notifications for any permission prompts, allowing quick actions like Allow ⏎ or Deny Esc without disrupting the current workflow.
Centralized Terminal Output: View the latest outputs from all local and SSH sessions in one place and quickly navigate to the targeted Rex window using ⌥ + Return or by clicking on any session card.
Context Meter Monitoring: Keep track of your session's 5-segment context window usage (%) at a glance to avoid unexpected auto-compaction while coding.
Effortless Session Management: Launch new sessions for any agent in recent workspace directories or search through historical sessions to resume work with a single click.
