Walk away. Kith keeps watch.

1Waiting, noticed!

Attention
First

A permission prompt here, a question there. Sessions waiting on you jump to the top of the menu bar.

2Agents, gathered!

Every
Session

Claude Code and Codex, terminal and desktop. Every session in one quiet list, a click away from its window.

3Pings, pinpointed!

Exact
Alerts

Know the moment a turn ends. Every notification opens the exact terminal or Codex thread it came from.

4Work, uninterrupted!

Stay
Awake

Kith holds idle sleep while your agents run, then lets go the moment they stop.

5Nights, reclaimed!

Wind
Down

Arm “Sleep when work ends” and walk away. A 60-second countdown you can always cancel.

A note from the menu bar

An Open Letter

To everyone who runs agents,

Agents made us faster. They also made us wait.

We would start three sessions, switch to something else, and come back twenty minutes later to find one had been asking a yes-or-no question the whole time. Another had finished, and the laptop had dozed off halfway through the next build.

Kith is the small thing we wanted. It sits in the menu bar, knows what every agent is doing, and only speaks up when it matters.

It keeps the shape of the work and never the words: no prompts, no transcripts, no accounts, nothing sent anywhere.

Kith, as in kith and kin. The ones who have your back.

This is for you.
