About
agenttab is a shell utility that sets a terminal tab's title to an icon showing the current state of an AI coding agent, idle, working, waiting for permission, or ended, alongside the conversation's title or its directory name. It supports Claude Code, Codex, and OpenCode, and includes a Cursor integration that keeps a custom tab rename in place instead of letting the agent overwrite it.
At a glance
agenttab puts a coding agent’s current state in the terminal tab title. It is worth trying if you have several agent terminals open and keep missing the one waiting for approval.
Good fit
Mac users running supported agent CLIs in a terminal that displays application-set titles.
Consider something else when
Keep your terminal’s usual titles if you only run one agent or your terminal ignores title changes.
Start here
Configure one supported agent in a scratch session. Compare the title while it works, waits for permission and exits.
Cost and requirements
The project documents macOS and jq, plus lsof for Codex. Each supported agent needs its own hook setup.
Limits to know
The title depends on the agent events and terminal behavior. Check which titles are visible before using it in a shared session or recording.

Why it made the leaderboard
Agenttab surfaces at-a-glance status icons in terminal tab titles for Claude Code, Codex and OpenCode sessions, making it easy to see which of several running agents needs attention without switching tabs.
