How do you stay aware of what your AI coding agents are doing?

I've been running Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex pretty heavily for the last few months and I keep hitting the same loop:

1. Start a task in one agent

2. Switch to something else (Slack, Twitter, another terminal)

3. Come back 30-40 minutes later

4. Agent finished 35 minutes ago. Or worse, it's been waiting for my approval the entire time.

The more agents I run, the worse it gets. There's no unified way to know what's happening across them.

Curious what other people's setups look like:

- Do you just keep terminals visible and check manually?

- Built any custom notification scripts?

- Use something like ntfy or Pushover?

- Just... accept the wasted time?

I've been building something in this space (push notifications + approval flows for AI agents) and I'm trying to understand if everyone's workflow is as janky as mine, or if some of you have figured out something clever.
