Cue
A gentle nudge when your AI is waiting
You kick off a task in Claude Code or Codex, switch to another window and forget to check back. Minutes pass. Your AI finished, or worse, it’s been waiting for permission the whole time.
Cue makes your screen glow when your AI needs you: aurora waves, rippling rings, a pulsing dot or a soft border around the edges. When you switch back, it fades. No pop-ups, no sounds. Just a nudge you can see at a glance.
Set it up once by pasting one snippet into Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode or Pi, and Cue shows you when it’s connected. It lives in your menu bar and listens for signals on your Mac, so your prompts and code never leave it. Dot, Bar and Sun are free, and Premium unlocks six more styles with a one-time purchase. Native macOS, built with SwiftUI.
