Two apps.Both watchsomething for you.

UnIdle

Close the laptop. The agent keeps working.

UnIdle lives in the menu bar and keeps your Mac awake and running through sleep, a locked screen, even a shut lid — for as long as Claude Code, Codex, Aider, Cursor, Gemini or opencode is still working. The moment a run finishes or stops to ask for permission, it tells you. No more sitting in front of a terminal to make sure nothing stalls.

• Stays awake through sleep, lock and a closed lid
• Notifies you the instant a run ends or needs permission
• Detects six agents, including Claude Code and Codex
• Sleeps normally again when nothing is running

Platform	macOS, menu bar app
Agents	Claude Code, Codex, Aider, Cursor, Gemini, opencode
Price	Free; Pro $9.99 once, no subscription

PennyWise

Budgeting without the spreadsheet.

Recurring bills you stop re-entering, bank import instead of manual typing, and a calendar that shows the month as it will actually be spent. Shared household budgets stay in sync across everyone in the family, and the reports say plainly where the money went — not just that it left.

• Recurring bills tracked without re-entry
• Shared household spending, in sync for every member
• Bank import, so the ledger fills itself
• Calendar view, plus reports and insights
