*Demonstration with synthetic agent data.*

**Early release · Russian interface · Tested on macOS 26 / Apple Silicon.** Earlier macOS versions are experimental; media integration may be unavailable. Intel Macs are not supported by the bundled media helper.

What it does

A living pixel office. Characters work, wait, and take breaks according to observed local agent activity. Speech bubbles are decorative; status comes from real events.
Codex and Claude Code activity. Read local sessions, see active tasks, and handle supported permission requests through optional hooks.
Clipboard with memory. Save text and PNG/TIFF images across restarts, preview images, and copy an entry back for pasting. Pause collection, delete an item, or clear history.
Now playing. See artwork and playback progress, with previous/play/pause/next controls for apps that publish system media information.
Keep your Mac awake. Run a timed keep-awake session, optionally keeping the display on. Manual sleep and closing the lid still work.
Quick local notes. A small writing space beside your other notch tools.

NotchCrew **observes your existing agents**. It does not create agents, buy model access, launch tasks, or distribute work. The office supports up to 48 role slots, discovered from your local Codex/Claude role definitions. Without role definitions, the role roster is empty; ordinary sessions are shown separately.
