Keep your coding agents and infrastructure in view, even when you leave your desk. CODING AGENTS Follow Codex, Claude Code, Kiro, and other reporting accounts. See which projects are working, thinking, waiting for input, or idle. Check context, session, and weekly usage when the connected tool reports them, with the time until each limit resets. RESOURCES AND HISTORY Watch hosts, Kubernetes clusters, and custom resources. Open a resource or account for minute averages and maxima over 1 to 24 hours. Stale reports are marked, and the last data stays visible when a refresh fails. IPHONE WIDGETS Add one account or resource to your Home Screen or Lock Screen. Choose the item you want to follow, or let the widget show the first item in dashboard order. APPLE WATCH See agent activity, usage, resources and history on your wrist. Connect through your paired iPhone, then read VibeMon over the watch’s available network. Add a coding account or resource to a watch face or the Smart Stack. Requires watchOS 11 or later. VIBEMON PRO Alerts and history require reports from computer hooks or a collector. A Claude or Codex connection on its own shows current usage only. Subscribe monthly or yearly for alerts when an agent needs input, when a coding account reaches 80% or 100% of its 5-hour or weekly limit, or when a resource reports an error. Choose which alerts you get, and see 7 and 30 days of history. On iOS 26 or later, Pro also enables widget update requests after changes; iOS controls when widgets refresh. Eligible subscribers can start with a one-week free trial. Payment is charged to your Apple Account. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the period ends.
