Crew Tower information
What is Crew Tower?
Crew Tower is a native macOS app that puts every AI coding agent you are running into the MacBook notch. Sessions from Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI, Qwen Code and opencode appear there live, each with its project name, what it is doing right now, how long it has been running and how full its context window is.
When an agent needs permission to run a command, asks a question or hands you a plan, the notch expands and shows the actual command, a warning if it looks destructive, and buttons to allow it, deny it, answer the question or push back in your own words. The answer is sent back over the local socket that the agent's own blocked hook is waiting on, so nothing is typed into your terminal and no window steals focus. When you do want the terminal, one click focuses the exact tab or tmux pane the session is running in, across nine supported terminal apps.
It also reads the remaining quota on your Claude and Codex subscriptions and shows how much of each session's context window is used, so a long task does not stop on you halfway through.
Crew Tower is written in Swift, with no Electron and no bundled browser. It needs no account and sends no telemetry. The approval path makes no network calls at all: the agent talks to the app over a unix socket owned by your own user. Accessibility permission is only needed for the jump-to-terminal feature and can be skipped. There is a privacy mode that keeps the panel shut, and Macs without a notch are supported as well.
Requires macOS 15 or later. One-time purchase, no subscription.
