c9watch See every Claude Code, Codex, Cursor Agent and Pi session on your machine — one dashboard for you, one JSON CLI for your agents. Built with AI (Claude Code and Codex). A human sets direction, tests, and reviews. How this was built c9watch (short for claude code watch, like k8s for Kubernetes) gives you a real-time view of every Claude Code, Codex, Cursor Agent, and Pi session running on your machine. A desktop dashboard for you, and a JSON CLI for your agents — both watching the same sessions at the same time. You see which agent needs permission, which one is working, and which one is idle. Your agents can do the same — querying session status, searching past work, and coordinating with each other — all through the same tool. Claude Code and Codex are fully monitored. Cursor Agent is monitor-only. Pi is read-only. OpenCode is a preview that needs a manual server connection. See Compatibility for what each one supports. From the same author: rmdv Demo Works with everything. Tied to nothing. Unlike other Claude Code management tools that require you to launch sessions from within their app, c9watch doesn't care where you start your sessions. It discovers them automatically by scanning running processes at the OS level. Start Claude Code or Codex from any terminal or IDE you already use -- VS Code, Zed, iTerm2, Antigravity, you name it -- and c9watch picks them all up. No plugins to install. No workflows to change. No vendor lock-in. Just open c9watch and see everything. Lightweight and fast. Built with Tauri, Rust, and Svelte -- not Electron. The app binary is small, memory usage is minimal, and the UI stays snappy. Rust handles process scanning and file parsing at native speed. Svelte compiles away the framework overhead. You're already running…
