I run 4-5 coding agent sessions at once and kept missing the one that was waiting on me. Paneherd is an extension (on Open VSX, so it installs in Cursor) that opens each agent as a terminal in a grid and shows whether it’s working, waiting for a permission or waiting for you.
What works in Cursor:
- Claude Code, Codex, Copilot CLI, Gemini CLI and Cursor CLI panes in one grid
- Live status plus a notification or sound when a session needs you
- Your 5-hour and weekly Claude limits in the sidebar, Codex limits under them
- Optional git worktree per session, so two agents don’t overwrite each other
- Broadcast one prompt to several panes
Known limit: Cursor CLI and Gemini panes don’t show live status. Cursor’s plugin hooks never report a finished turn, so those panes run as plain terminals in the grid.
Free for unlimited panes. A one-time $2.99 Pro adds one inbox for every Claude Code permission prompt, a guard when two sessions edit the same file, and approving from your phone. No telemetry.

Feedback from people running agents inside Cursor is very welcome, especially on what’s missing.
