Five agents run on two machines. One of them stops and waits for you, and you don’t know which. Every minute you don’t notice, its work stands still.

Offsite tells you the moment it asks, and by name: as a banner on your Mac, as a push on your iPhone’s lock screen. A click or a tap opens exactly that session, even on another host or in another workspace. On the board, its card stays red until you have looked at it.

Tips

  • Agents name their own cards. Rename one in Edit Session, and the notification carries your name.
  • On the Mac, a banner comes when the app is in the background, or for a host that is not the open one. On the open host, the red frame and the count in the sidebar tell you the same.
  • Your iPhone gets a push when the app is not open. With the app open, the event comes over your own connection.
  • A push about a waiting session shows only the session’s and the workspace’s name. If a project name is sensitive, rename the card or turn notifications off for that device.
