What is Agent FM for Claude Code & Codex?
Agent FM is an open-source macOS application that provides ambient awareness for your AI coding agents, specifically Claude Code and Codex. It translates the raw output of your agent sessions into live narration, allowing developers to passively monitor their agents' progress, identify blockers, decisions, errors, and attention requests in real-time without constantly checking logs or terminals.
The tool is designed for developers who use AI coding assistants and want to maintain an overview of their agents' activities. It enhances productivity by routing attention requests, ensuring users are only notified when their input is genuinely needed. Agent FM operates passively, observing session output without interfering with the agents' performance or requiring code to leave the user's machine, as all narration processing occurs directly between the user's device and their chosen AI provider (Gemini or OpenAI).

Agent FM for Claude Code & Codex FAQ
How does Agent FM ensure my code and session data remain private?
Agent FM is designed with privacy in mind. It has no server, no proxy, and no telemetry. Your API key for the narration provider (Gemini or OpenAI) is encrypted on your device. When narration occurs, some session context (tool calls, decisions, code snippets) is sent directly from your machine to your chosen provider, not through Agent FM's infrastructure. Agent FM never sees your session content.
Can Agent FM be used with other AI coding assistants besides Claude Code and Codex?
Currently, Agent FM specifically supports Claude Code and Codex. While cursor support is on the roadmap, there is no mention of support for other AI coding agents at this time.
Does Agent FM replace my existing terminal or code editor setup?
No, Agent FM does not replace your terminal or editor. It is designed to sit alongside your existing tools, providing ambient narration and awareness for your agents while you continue to use Claude Code, Codex, and your preferred editor as usual.
What are the costs associated with using Agent FM?
Agent FM itself is free and open-source. The only potential cost comes from your chosen model provider (Gemini or OpenAI) for the narration tokens used. You pay your model provider directly based on their pricing for API usage.
