If you run more than one AI coding agent session at a time — three Claude Code threads on three tickets, a Codex session doing a refactor while Cursor chews on tests — you've probably wish there was an app that would decouple and visualize each active sessions status indicator and provide a more granular report as to what each active session is actually doing.
Well, Codogotchi in Minimalist mode with platform session enabled does just that!
Take a look at the screenshot below of my Codex session panel along with several Codgotchi floating panels - each Codogotchi panel reports exactly what the session agent is doing in realtime (Reading, Thinking, Searching, Coding, Testing, etc).
Codogotchi is a menubar pet that reacts live to your AI coding agent (idle → thinking → coding → testing → erroring, the works).
Previously, Codogotchi was scoped to the platform, not the session. One Claude Code badge. One Codex badge. If you had three Claude Code sessions running in parallel, they all fought over the same pixel — whichever session's event landed last "won," and the other two went dark. The indicator was honest about a Claude Code session. It just couldn't tell you which.
That's the coupling we just broke.
Below is the Customization tab panel which gives you per platform control of how and what Codogotchi displays.
Session Pets: the status indicator, decoupled
With Enable Session Pets turned on for a platform, Codogotchi stops asking "what is Claude Code doing?" and starts asking "what is this Claude Code session doing?" Each active session_id gets its own panel — its own live animation, its own badge, its own state — labeled automatically with the same LLM-assigned session label each platform initially assigns to a session thread. No manual typing of session labels required! 🎉
Brand new AI-agent Sessions Tab Panel to help your keep tabs of all your recent AI-sessions across all supported platforms.
Session Pets is a small feature with an unglamorous name for a real shift: the unit of "what is my agent doing" stopped being the platform a while ago. It's the thread. The status indicator just caught up.
Codogotchi is open source (MIT) and supports Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, and Google Antigravity. codogotchi.app
