Evlat is a thin strip on your Mac's screen edge, one ring per Claude Code or Codex session. When one needs a permission or an answer, it turns amber; one click opens its terminal tab. It also tracks long commands and remote servers. Native, no permissions.

Could you build this?
Partial Building an overlay UI is straightforward, but tracking status across multiple terminal processes, multiplexers, and remote SSH sessions without permissions or invasive hooks requires nuanced system-level OS programming.
What it would actually take: A production version would be built using Swift/Objective-C leveraging macOS APIs (such as Accessibility APIs or process inspection via libproc/sysctl, or local sockets/named pipes to hook CLI tools). The tricky engineering challenge is reliably determining terminal process state (idle vs waiting on input vs active execution) across varied shells, terminal emulators (iTerm, Terminal, Ghostty), and SSH sessions without tripping security permissions.
