About AgentMicro
AgentMicro operates as a macOS desktop companion for Codex, presenting live task status in the system menu bar. The tool emphasizes keeping data on the device and avoiding cloud-based uploads, with an emphasis on accessibility for coders working on macOS 14+.
AgentMicro reads local session metadata to present information about Codex tasks without uploading prompts, code, responses, or task history. It states that base mode requires no Accessibility permission and no account, and that enhanced detection, if enabled, reads visible local labels only and does not perform actions like clicking, typing, or approving anything.
The tool highlights its six status lights and five states, showing which tasks are working, thinking, unread, needing input, in error, or idle. It notes that the working tasks stay prioritized, and each row includes the project, current-turn duration, and a fast-mode marker to help users decide where to return.
It claims to be independent and community-maintained, and to keep the task queue separate from any cloud service, focusing on privacy and local operation. It also references macOS compatibility and the option to use Codex Desktop or CLI interfaces.
