Why it mattersA developer running three or four coding agents can watch them without flipping tabs. One shortcut jumps to whichever agent is paused on a reply.
A developer running three coding agents at once has to tab between windows. That is the only way to notice which one has stopped and is waiting. Corgi puts them all in one terminal. Each tab shows a status dot: working, needs you, finished, or idle. A developer who uses the handle eiopa posted it as Show HN. The thread had 54 points by the time this was written. The site is corgi.computer. The project reuses ideas from Herdr, which the author names as the main inspiration.
What it keeps on screen
The home view shows every tab as an agent or a process, each with a status dot. F1 jumps to the next unread agent. A running activity feed shows what each agent has done since the last visit. Hovering an agent shows the files it touched in the current session. Resource use is broken down per workspace. Live token counters sit next to each agent. The site calls this "top for your tokens".
Which agents it understands
The site lists Claude Code, Codex, Pi and OpenCode as the agents the Ctrl-T menu can launch. Each one runs under its own account. Corgi does not share accounts between agents. It does not add a login of its own. Agents and dev servers run in the background. The behaviour mirrors tmux, which keeps a shell running when the terminal closes. The author says the design assumes the user has a cheap model such as Luna or Haiku. Corgi uses that model to label workspaces, name worktrees and summarise what each agent did.
Where it still has rough edges
The author's Show HN post says Corgi has been in daily use for a few weeks. The author built it alone during a sick leave. The site lists support for macOS, Linux and WSL. Two features depend on a specific terminal. Pasting images with Cmd-V requires Ghostty Nightly. Copying links with one click also requires Ghostty Nightly. The site does not list a licence. Pricing is not shown. The project has no changelog page. The site does not say how session data is stored or sent.
What a small team gets today
A team running one agent per repository can try Corgi to stop flipping between terminals. The payoff is practical. One window to watch. One shortcut to jump to whatever is paused on an approval. The caveats are the ones early tools usually carry. No licence yet. No security disclosure. The nicer polish works only on a nightly build of one terminal. A developer who is comfortable installing a shell script may find the trade fair. A team that needs legal sign-off before adding a local proxy should wait a release or two.
