AgentDeck icon — aquarium dome with octopus and crayfish on a Stream Deck control surface

AgentDeck

App Store — Mac, iPhone, and iPad Google Play — Android Elgato Marketplace Ulanzi Marketplace MIT License npm version CI Website

Your AI agents, at a glance. Across your desk.

AgentDeck brings your AI agents into one local dashboard. See which are working, waiting for you, or finished—across projects and tools. Watch them in a living aquarium, follow the timeline, and keep usage limits in view. Use your Mac or terminal on its own, or add a tablet, Stream Deck, e-ink reader, or small desk display.

npm delivery, checked 2026-11-08: 2.1.1 is public for all four packages, with the device-photo path hardening.

Other 2.1 channels, checked 2026-11-07: Mac, iPhone/iPad and Google Play list 2.1.0; Elgato Marketplace lists 2.1. The Android/Stream Deck/Ulanzi/ESP32 2.1.0 GitHub downloads are public. Ulanzi's Workshop update was submitted, but public 2.1.0 availability is not yet verified. See the channel-by-channel delivery record.

AgentDeck · 2.0 product tour

AgentDeck product tour: sessions, collaboration, usage, real answers, evaluation and devices

A 2 minute 24 second tour of the whole workflow: parallel agent sessions, per-session history and CI waiting, collaboration, usage windows, original choices and one-time approval, voice and native agent controls, task evaluation and recorded evidence, then the roles of keypads, tablets, e-ink and small displays.

Actual Mac/iPad UI and production renderers use fictional activity; the phone control chapter uses a real local OpenCode execution. Static captures and older hardware photographs are labeled in the video. It was recorded on 2.0 builds, with English, Korean and Japanese captions; released downloads retain their channel versions. CloudKit/Watch remains a separate development experiment.

Historical photographs and earlier recordings remain available. The device gallery labels its AI-assisted photo composite separately from actual app and firmware captures.

Mobile apps and hardware connect to a daemon on your computer. Controls are available when the session exposes a supported control path; other surfaces show status. See the hardware compatibility matrix for model-specific capabilities, including D200X encoder limitations.

A dashboard that feels alive

On your Mac, no extra hardware required. Watch the native app in action below.

Native 3D aquarium in motion — agent creatures and schooling fish; click to watch the current recording

Choose the familiar dashboard or the native 3D aquarium on Mac, iPhone/iPad, and Android LCD devices. Each session becomes a creature; its activity changes its movement, and nearby fish react. On mobile, tap empty water to hide the panels and move closer. Tap again to return. Existing preferences are preserved.

The preview above shows fictional activity in the real native app; no private workspace data is shown. Watch the current aquarium recording or take the hardware desk tour.

What it does

  • Follow parallel work. Session names, current tools, and a shared timeline explain what each agent is doing. Collaboration shows reported subagents, task relationships, and recent task history.
  • Notice when you are needed. Permission and input requests stand out. Answer or interrupt from supported surfaces when the session provides a real control path; otherwise prompts are display-only.
  • Keep usage visible. Claude, Codex, and z.ai/GLM gauges appear where the connected provider supplies usage data. Agent identity and model provider remain separate.
  • Choose your display. The 3D scene keeps up to eight foreground residents readable while the roster retains every session. E-ink uses a static rendered backdrop and restrained motion; compact panels keep their focused layouts.

Start here

No extra hardware required. Choose a native dashboard or the terminal path.

Mac, iPhone, and iPad

Install from the App Store. The Mac app includes its own daemon and needs no Node.js. Enable your agent integrations in Settings, then run your agents normally. iPhone/iPad pair with an AgentDeck daemon on your network.

Requires macOS 26+ or iOS/iPadOS 17+. See the Apple guide.

Planned, not available yet: a CloudKit remote-observation PoC will test selected Mac updates on iPhone and forwarded Apple Watch notifications. The running Mac remains the observation source; phone/Watch widgets and remote approvals are outside the first experiment. Preview and limits.

Terminal, Windows, Linux, and external integrations

Requires Node.js 22, 24, or 26 and a supported agent on macOS 15+, Windows 11, or Linux.

npx @agentdeck/setup
agentdeck daemon install   # refresh hooks and start observation
claude                     # or: codex · opencode · kiro-cli

In another terminal:

agentdeck dashboard        # live sessions, aquarium, usage, and timeline

The Mac app can also attach to the CLI daemon for additional integrations, including Claude subscription gauges and ADB device support. Compare capabilities. For setup problems, run agentdeck diag agents or see installation and troubleshooting.

Existing managed sessions and remote attach

agentdeck claude, agentdeck codex, agentdeck opencode, and agentdeck monitor are a long-term compatibility path; no removal is planned. Ordinary local sessions should use the daemon with normal agent commands. Daemon-first equivalents exist for launch arguments (agentdeck run), deck ordering (agentdeck order) and remote sessions (agentdeck relay, experimental). Immediate terminal steering stays managed-only. See the CLI reference, remote attach guide, and decision record.

Agents

AgentDeck is growing beyond coding workflows: Hermes Agent is supported as an opt-in preview (see the table). The table below lists current integrations and how each is observed.

Agent Observation
Claude Code Lifecycle hooks; primary supported integration
Codex CLI Lifecycle hooks and rollout logs
Codex Desktop Observed on macOS; Windows verification pending
OpenCode Observer plugin and native events
Kiro CLI / IDE Transcript observation; delayed, idle-only activity
Antigravity Passive observation through the CLI daemon
OpenClaw Experimental Gateway integration
Hermes Agent Preview: opt-in observer plugin (agentdeck hermes-observer, then hermes plugins enable agentdeck-observer); read-only

Run agents normally; AgentDeck reads their native events rather than scraping terminal screens. Kiro has no managed launcher, and the sandboxed Mac app needs a one-time folder grant for its transcripts. Detailed setup and limitations: configuration, Apple guide, and Gateway guide.

Releases

npm 2.1.1 is public for all four packages. This patch keeps device-photo uploads inside the photo directory. See the delivery readback.

Compatibility and delivery channels

Use the channel for your device. Components with the same major version work together: a 1.0 device can connect to a 1.5 daemon. Minor and patch versions use the same meaning across stores: minor versions identify a shared feature milestone, while target-specific patches fix or complete existing behavior. Targets can ship at different times; you do not need to update every device together. See the version decision policy. Release tags identify source versions; check the delivery records for verified publication and Store review status.

npm delivery, checked 2026-11-08: npm 2.1.1 is public for all four packages. The 2.1 Node daemon on macOS lets dictated prompts reach Claude Code in any terminal through the peer inbox, with a Claude Code version that supports it. To enable this capability after upgrading from an older minor, run agentdeck daemon install (or npx @agentdeck/setup) once. This capability is separate from the native daemon bundled with the Mac App Store app.

Other 2.1 channels, checked 2026-11-07:

The ESP32 2.1.0 firmware set covers all twelve boards, and the Android APK, Stream Deck and Ulanzi 2.1.0 packages are on GitHub.

  • Mac: the Mac App Store lists 2.1.0. It includes a native daemon; no separate Node installation is required.
  • iPhone / iPad: the App Store lists 2.1.0. These are companion dashboards for a reachable paired Mac or supported daemon, not environments that run coding agents themselves.
  • Android: Google Play lists 2.1.0, updated November 6. The 2.1.0 GitHub APK is a separate distribution route. Update through the existing install's signing channel; Play and GitHub APK signatures can differ. Android also needs a reachable paired daemon.
  • Stream Deck: Elgato Marketplace lists 2.1 for macOS and Windows, with Stream Deck 6.9 or later and an AgentDeck daemon.
  • Ulanzi D200H / D200X LCD keys: the 2.1.0 GitHub package is public. The Workshop update was submitted November 6; public Marketplace 2.1.0 availability remains unverified because its listing could not be read in this check. D200X encoders are not supported.

These are public listing observations, not confirmation that every region or installed device has updated. See the 2.1.0 delivery record.

Earlier deliveries: 2.0 (2026-11-02) and the 1.9.x rounds are recorded in the release history and the 2.0 delivery record.

Mobile apps and hardware are companion surfaces: keep a daemon running on your computer. Supported ESP32 boards offer Wi-Fi OTA after the first USB flash; GitHub Android APKs offer wireless updates from Settings. Pixoo, TC001, Timebox, and iDotMatrix setup is covered in the device guide.
