macOS menu-bar · mission control for parallel AI agents

Every agent,
in one calm glance.

You run five coding agents at once. ParallelButler lives in your menu bar and watches the whole fleet — Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and six more — surfacing the moment one finishes or needs you, and jumping you straight back to its window.

The two diseases of parallel work

Running agents in parallel isn’t a focus problem. It’s an orchestration problem.

Parallelism isn’t something you grind your way into — it’s something a tool orchestrates for you. ParallelButler exists to cure the two failure modes that quietly wreck multi-agent flow.

Disease 01 · Window silence

The agent finished. You had no idea.

An agent wraps up while you’re heads-down in another window. Nothing pings. The tab just sits there — done, but invisible — until you happen to circle back ten minutes later.

Cure → Event recovery

Catch every state change the instant it happens.

ParallelButler hooks each agent’s lifecycle and surfaces a notification the moment it turns done or starts waiting on you. The window never goes silent again.

Disease 02 · Context lock

Deep in one task, you forget the other three.

Immersion is a trap with a price. Once you’re absorbed in one agent, the others you kicked off fall clean out of mind — still running, still waiting, completely forgotten.

Cure → Visual anchor

A permanent read-out, always in your periphery.

The menu bar holds a live count and a one-click list of every agent’s state — running, done, waiting. Nothing you started can drop off your radar.

What it actually does

A quiet instrument panel for a noisy fleet.

No task manager. No dashboards to babysit. Just the four things that keep parallel work from falling apart.

◈

Event recovery

Lifecycle hooks turn every “done” and every “waiting for input” into a notification — the antidote to window silence.

▦

Visual anchor

A persistent menu-bar count and three-state list keep every agent in your periphery, so nothing falls out of mind.

↗

One-tap jump

Click any agent to snap straight back to its terminal or window. The shortest path from “it’s ready” to “I’m on it.”

⌁

Zero-config sensing

Where a clean hook isn’t available, ParallelButler sniffs the process and falls back gracefully. It just works, out of the box.
