If you run AI coding agents, you know the loop: stare at the terminal waiting for "done", or miss the moment it stops to ask for permission. Lingxi is a quiet 3D cat that lives on your Mac desktop and watches for you. When Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or any MCP client finishes, fails or needs you, it walks over and tells you with a face and a speech bubble. Between tasks it naps, wanders and chases yarn. Runs locally, never acts for your agent.
