Developer t80chip released Agent Buddy, a desk buddy for AI coding agents that lights up to show when GitHub Copilot, Claude, Codex, Grok and others are working, need you, or are done.

It runs on an ESP32 device, or as a new no-hardware desktop app. Code is open source on GitHub with community PRs from @darrenjrobinson and @bradygaster.
