Three lights.
One less thing to check.

Scroll to see the signal change. Turn it, try a color, or dial down the brightness.

They work. You flow.

Your agents are busy. Green keeps you in the loop without pulling you out of your work.

Working

A turn done. Your move.

Yellow means a session is paused after its turn. Pick it up when you’re ready.

Paused

A little glow. Your cue.

A question or permission needs you. Red takes priority, so you know when to return.

Needs input

A glow in the real world.

The same three signals, photographed on our own desk.

Working

Made to be yours.

Free and open source. Make it yours.

A few little things.

Do I need the physical lamp?

No. BroGlow works as a menu-bar or tray app and a terminal dashboard. The lamp is optional.

You can also 3D-print your own lamp. Get the models here:
Printables · MakerWorld

Which agents does it work with?

Claude Code, Codex (0.144 or newer), opencode, and GitHub Copilot CLI. BroGlow monitors local sessions; cloud tasks and ordinary web chats are outside its scope.

What if several agents need different things?

A session needing input always makes the signal red. If working and paused sessions coexist, yellow wins by default; you can choose to prioritize active work in Settings.
