See who needs you without looking for it.
A thin line under the notch shows how your agents are doing. Coral means one is waiting for you. Amber means they're working. Hover to see how many.
Waiting for you
WorkingFor coding agents running in herdr, on your MacBook
Your agent is waiting. You’re in another window.
The question shows up in your MacBook notch. Answer it there and your agent gets back to work. You never leave the window you're in.

Before and after
Stop babysitting terminals.
Without it
- An agent stops to ask you something.
- You don't notice. It sits there waiting.
- You find the terminal, then the tab, then the question.
- You answer, and you've lost your place.
With Unstall
- An agent stops to ask you something.
- The question drops out of your notch.
- You pick an answer, or type your own.
- Your agent gets back to work, and so do you.
Waiting for youWorkingAnswer right where the question appears.
You see the question, what the agent just finished, and its choices, with the recommended answer marked. If none of the choices fit, type your own. If you'd rather answer in the terminal, Jump takes you to the exact tab.
Nothing gets sent behind your back.
It never answers for you. Before sending, it checks the terminal again. If the question has changed, nothing is sent. Afterwards you get a short receipt saying what was sent and that the agent is working again.
Before you download
What you need
- Mac
- Apple Silicon, macOS 14 Sonoma or later
- herdr
- Required. Installed and running, with a terminal attached. Unstall reads your agents from herdr, so agents started in a plain terminal outside it aren't seen.
- Agents
- Claude Code and Codex: status, and answers to their supported prompts from the notch. OpenCode and Grok: status; you answer in the terminal.
- pi
- Optional. With its small extension, only your lead agent's questions come to you.
- Permissions
- None needed to start. Notifications are optional, and only for questions waiting on you.
Questions
Good to know
Does it ever answer for me?
No. Every answer comes from you. Risky questions, like deploying to production or deleting data, ask you to type the target name before anything is sent.
Which agents does it work with?
Agents you run inside herdr. For Claude Code and Codex you see their status and answer their supported prompts from the notch; anything it can't read safely goes to the terminal, and Jump takes you there. For OpenCode and Grok you see their status and answer in the terminal. pi is optional. Agents started in a plain terminal outside herdr aren't seen.
What happens to agents that report to another agent?
With pi, only the lead agent's questions come to you. Questions a helper asks its lead stay with the lead, so your notch doesn't fill up.
Can it watch agents on another machine?
Yes. Add the machine's SSH name in Settings. It uses your existing SSH setup and needs a key that works without a password prompt.
What does setup change on my Mac?
For pi, it shows you one small file and asks before adding it to ~/.pi/agent/extensions. Launch at login is off unless you turn it on. macOS asks about notifications only when the first alert arrives.
Is it safe to open?
The download is signed with a Developer ID and notarized by Apple, so macOS opens it after its usual check for downloaded apps. It's a direct download, not from the Mac App Store.
How much does it cost?
Nothing. It's a free download, with no account to create.
Why does the app say Notch Agent?
Unstall is the app's new working name. The current download, version 0.1, still shows its earlier name, Notch Agent, in Finder and the menu bar. It's the same notarized app.
