Five agents working. One is waiting on you.
Perch sits in your menu bar and keeps watch over every coding-agent session on your Mac, across all 5 it supports — then taps you on the shoulder the moment one needs a decision. Approve it from your Mac, or from your phone.

Perch Companion — the iPhone app, included
Step away. Perch taps your shoulder.
Every license includes Perch Companion, the iPhone app. Kick off a long refactor and go make coffee: your phone mirrors the whole fleet, raises a Live Activity while agents work, and pings you when one blocks on a permission — with Approve and Deny right on the notification, from the couch or from the coffee shop.
- Live fleet mirror — every session and state, in your pocket
- Approve, deny, or type an answer back — without unlocking your Mac
- A Live Activity that starts itself the moment agents get to work — session rows, timers ticking live, task progress on your lock screen
- Approvals arrive with a draining countdown, in the Dynamic Island too
- Pairs over your LAN, or anywhere via your own Tailscale tailnet — end-to-end encrypted
Included with every license · iOS 18 or later (optional companion)
The iPhone app isn't on the App Store yet — after you buy, we send your invite to it within 24 hours.
Perch on Apple Watch
The fleet, on your wrist.
Raise your wrist to see how many agents are running, which sessions need you, and what each one is doing right now — no phone in hand. A Smart Stack widget surfaces the count before you even open the app.
- Running count and live session states, glanceable in a second
- Approve or deny from your wrist — the whole loop, no phone in hand
- Smart Stack widget puts the fleet — and your stats digest — in your watch face rotation
- Pairs through your iPhone — same encrypted link, nothing extra to set up
Included with every license · watchOS 11 or later
Stats — your year in agents
Every session you've ever run, counted.
Perch keeps a local history of every run and turns it into a dashboard: a contribution heatmap of your agent days, and an honest account of what you spend your tokens on. It reads your own files on your own Mac — nothing is uploaded to build it.
- A per-day heatmap, colored by the agent you ran that day
- Total tokens, sessions, and active days — all-time, 30 days, or 7
- Current and longest streak, so you can see the run you're on
- Longest session, most-active day, favorite model and the breakdown behind it
- Filter to one agent at a time — and read the digest on your phone and watch
What you get
Built for the parallel-agent workday
The whole fleet, one glance
Every session, its state, and how long it's been there — running, waiting, idle, done — in colors you can read across the room, each row marked with the agent that owns it.
Approvals — and answers — in one click
Permission prompts surface the moment they appear. Approve or deny without hunting for the right terminal, and type a reply straight back when an agent asks a question.
Task lists, tracked to the last item
Perch reads the agent's own checklist, so a long run reads as “task 4 of 5” with the current step named — on the Mac, and on your lock screen.
Background agents count as working
When the main thread hands off to subagents, the session stays running instead of falsely going idle — so the “finished” ping lands when the work is actually done.
Jump straight to the session
One click lands you inside the session, not just the app: the exact pane in Warp and iTerm2, the exact split in Ghostty, the exact tab in Terminal.app, the conversation inside Codex Desktop. Eight more terminals open by name, and an unrecognised one is opened best-effort.
Usage, limits, and spend
Per-session context and cost, and per-model limit bars on by default — 5-hour and weekly windows read straight from the provider, so they keep moving when a session goes idle. Today's spend, your plan, credit balance, and a heads-up before you run out.
5 agents, one fleet
Hooks report state instantly and install themselves — one install per agent, covering CLI, desktop and IDE alike; a transcript scan catches sessions started before Perch. Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Devin and OpenCode, side by side in the same list.
Never slows an agent
Reporters are fire-and-forget with a hard send timeout, and fail open on every path. A hook will never stall your session.
Quiet, native, signed
A pure-Swift menu bar app. Notarized by Apple, updated over a signed Sparkle feed — no Electron, no daemon farm.

Privacy
Local-first, by architecture
Stays on your Mac
Session state, transcripts, usage, and cost live in local files — the app reads them over a Unix socket. Close Perch and nothing phones home.
Leaves only if you opt in
Pairing your iPhone sends fleet snapshots to it — encrypted, over your LAN or your own tailnet. Push alerts pass transiently through a relay that stores only a hashed license identity.
Verifiable
The trust boundaries and threat model are documented publicly, and every update ships notarized with a signed appcast you can inspect.
