Gnista

Key facts: Gnista launched on Product Hunt on November 12, 2026. It sits in your MacBook's notch, or in the menu bar if you prefer, and keeps track of every coding agent you run: Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI and 28 agents in all, plus any tool with hooks. When one asks a question, the notch opens with the whole request: allow or deny it right there, or click to land in the exact terminal tab, tmux pane or editor window. Buy it once and keep it, with an optional yearly plan to keep updates coming. Not in the App Store, and no account needed.
