cookbook
It's a primitive. Here's what people build with it.
Short, copy-paste recipes for driving the notch. Start with the first few, then bring your own.
⭐ Teach your agent to Tellie me
Don't wire anything up. Tell your AI to narrate and hand you links, point it at llms.txt, and it runs with it.
⭐ Narrate to your notch
The hands-on version: your agent shows what it's actually doing, live, and hands you clickable links.
⭐ Your fleet of agents, in one notch
One command, and the notch taps you when your agents finish, across every Mac you set up.
⭐ Mine your Pulse Log
jq the local JSONL history: turn durations, every link a tool handed you, a standup from your day.
⭐ Pinged on your phone when agents finish
Leave your desk. A watcher forwards Pulse Log completions to Telegram (or ntfy.sh) so your phone taps you when an agent's done.
⭐ X-ray your agent's edits
A silent ticker of every file your AI creates, changes, or deletes. Agent-agnostic: it watches the filesystem, so it works with any tool, no cooperation needed.
Auto-pulse your PRs
Stop forgetting to share the link: a git hook (or gh alias) pulses every PR you open to the notch as a clickable row.
Tellie for local models
LM Studio, OpenClaw, and other on-device model tools push to the notch too: one-command MCP for LM Studio, the CLI or URL scheme for agents.
Agent lifecycle status
Flip the notch to "Thinking…" each turn and clear when done, synced via harness hooks.
Build / test status
Wrap a build so the notch shows progress and the result, with a red pulse on failure.
CI status in the notch
Reflect a GitHub Actions run; click the line to jump straight to the failed job.
Token + cost meter
A live tokens / cost / files meter in the notch while an agent works.
Agent fleet coordination
Several agents announce themselves, check the roster before claiming work, and hand off.
Read the notch
Agents read the live roster to avoid double-work, or summarize the session.
Now reading
Turn the notch into a teleprompter for your own video, line by line.
Pomodoro / countdown timer
A focus timer that lives in the notch instead of covering your screen.
Cheat sheets & reminders
Park a command, a shortcut, or a reminder where you can glance at it.
Bring your own: anything that can run a shell command can light up your notch. Point a capable agent at /llms.txt and say "Tellie me."
