Openbar puts every Claude Code, Codex and OpenCode session on your Mac into the notch. When an agent asks for permission, the island opens with the full command or diff, and you allow it with a click or ⌘Y from any app. You can also answer its questions or reply by voice. Free and open source, with a Windows beta.

Could you build this?
Yes A macOS notch app that intercepts agent permission requests and shows diffs can be built by hooking into the agents' existing permission or hook mechanisms and wrapping them in a native UI with a voice-input option.
