Evlat

Evlat puts a thin status strip on the edge of your Mac screen for Claude Code or Codex sessions. It lights up when a session needs permission or an answer, and one click jumps straight to the terminal tab.

Product Hunt’s latest launch is Evlat, a tiny Mac-side helper for people running Claude Code or Codex sessions. Instead of another full app window, it sits as a thin strip on the screen edge and gives each session its own ring. Small idea, very specific job.
The cue is simple: when a session needs a permission or a reply, the ring turns amber. Click it, and Evlat opens the matching terminal tab. That makes the back-and-forth feel less like chasing alerts and more like managing a row of live conversations.
Evlat also keeps track of long commands and remote servers, which pushes it beyond a visual notifier. It’s aiming at the messy middle of agent work, where things run for a while, then stall, then need a human to step in at the right moment.
The product is native and asks for no permissions, according to the launch page. That stripped-down approach fits the tool’s whole pitch: stay out of the way, show only what matters, and let the developer get back to the terminal fast.
My take — AI-written commentary, not fact-checked reporting
This is the right kind of small utility: narrow, honest, and built for people who already live in the terminal. The AI agent boom has produced plenty of grandiose dashboards; a tiny amber ring is a healthier dose of reality. Less theater, fewer permissions, more useful.
