A 16-pixel hero in your macOS menu bar. Watches LLM traffic. That's it. RunCat told us the CPU was busy. Nothing tells us the agent is. You remember RunCat - the kitten in your menu bar that runs faster when your CPU is busy. Almost a decade old. Adorable. Useful. Asks nothing of you. AI-native development needs the same thing for a different signal. Not CPU. Agent traffic. Is there a live LLM request flowing right now, or is everything quiet? That's why I built AgentRunner. We need a CatRun for the AI era. So I made one. Runs when your agent's actually working. Idle when it isn't.
