Hi Product Hunt 👋

I’m Daniel, a designer with twenty years in product design and design systems. I’m not a Mac developer, and Gnista is the first native app I’ve shipped.

The problem: I run Claude Code and Codex side by side across client projects, some on my laptop and some on servers over SSH. An agent would wait ten minutes for one approval I never saw, while I was deep in a Figma file somewhere else.

What Gnista does: it sits in your MacBook’s notch (or in the menu bar if you prefer) and keeps track of every running agent. When one asks, 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.

A few things I care about:

Buy it once and keep it, with an optional yearly plan to keep updates coming. Not in the App Store, no account needed.
28 coding agents, plus any tool with hooks. I have about 30 CLIs installed just to test against.
Works over SSH, where a missed prompt costs the most.
Six languages from day one, including Chinese, Japanese and Korean.

My first idea was a notch that glowed while agents worked. I dropped it. A quiet notch that only speaks up when something is waiting turned out far more useful.

What would make you trust an agent to run while you look away? I’d love to hear it.
