Birdwatch

Agents get stuck. When several run at once, in Xcode, the terminal and AI apps, it is hard to see what is running where, or which build or test run has stalled.

Birdwatch sits in the menu bar and watches the processes agents start: Swift builds, test runs, compilers, SourceKit and LLDB. It groups them by project, flags the stuck ones, says why, and quits them in one click. For a test blocking a thread it names the test and its line; otherwise Apple's on-device model explains, marked as AI. Xcode is asked to quit, never killed. It can show which Claude Code or Codex session started a process.
