I use Claude Code and Codex every day, often across several tmux panes. I kept switching windows to check which agents were still working and which needed an answer. I built AgentPulse so I could see that at a glance. It is a TPM plugin that uses lifecycle hooks to show working, waiting, idle, and interrupted states. It adds indicators to the window list and pane borders, with an optional popup and sidebar for jumping between agents. It works with your existing tmux theme. Because it is tmux you can customize it the way you want and optimize your workflow. This is an early version that grew o…
