CrewTower

Control your agents from the notch

What it does

Crew Tower lives in your MacBook notch and watches every AI coding agent you run: Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Gemini, Qwen, OpenCode and more. When an agent needs permission, the request shows up in the notch with full context: the exact command, the file edit, the question. Approve or deny in one click, without touching the terminal. See every session at once, working, waiting or done. Jump straight to the right terminal window when one needs you. Nothing stalls silently.

CrewTower turns the MacBook notch into a live control tower for every AI coding agent you run. Approve, deny, answer and jump to the exact terminal tab without leaving what you are doing.

Check what your agents are doing without leaving what you are doing. Status, progress and how much context each one has left, live in the notch. Run as many coding agents as you like. Approve a command, pick an option, or land on the exact terminal tab. The agent gets its answer straight back down the channel it asked on, so nothing is ever typed into a window you cannot see. That is what running more than one actually costs. Nothing announces itself, so the watching falls to you: which one stopped, what it is asking, how much room it has left, whether it is still going at all. CrewTower does the watching, at the top of the screen you are already looking at. Four tabs, two of them the same…from crewtower.app

    Hello HN! I found that picking out plausible but diverse skin tones for my digital art and game development projects was kind of difficult, and I got curious about if there was a way to define a color space that made it easy. I've built a color picker and procedural generation algorithm based on the space as well as a bunch of other fun js features and demos throughout the page that use the equations. If you find it interesting, I have lots of explanations of how I built it and what properties the space has. The methodology might be a bit shaky, but hopefully the result is as helpful for…

  • I trained a 125M-parameter transformer to autocomplete piano performances in real time (~108 notes/sec on an iPhone 15). The idea is basically GitHub Copilot or Tabnine, except instead of prompting it with code, you prompt it by playing a few notes on a MIDI piano. The model then continues what you played, entirely on-device. The app is free if anyone wants to try it. Happy to answer questions about the model, training, Core ML, or the many things that didn't work.
