🛠 Aside is a native macOS utility that works as a "read-only observer" for existing AI coding agents.
It allows you to request status, logs, and agent reasoning (such as Codex, Claude Code, and Pi) through a separate chat without interrupting their current execution cycle. Indexing and searching occur locally, and for privacy, support for Ollama is provided.
🌍 The emergence of monitoring tools for autonomous agents solves the "black box" problem, allowing you to track progress without interfering with the operational cycle. This is a step toward effective multi-agent workflows.
👤 You can now "peek" at what your AI developer is doing in the background, asking clarifying questions about its logic without hindering its ability to write code.
