VibeDeck

My Stream Deck had been sitting on my desk, waiting for its moment. It was good hardware, but I hadn’t found the job that made it useful every day.

Then I started running several coding-agent sessions at once, and checking them became its own small job.

Claude Code might be working, Codex could be waiting for approval, and another session could already be done. The agents were meant to remove busywork, but I kept opening terminal tabs just to ask: does anything need me?

That became the job for my Stream Deck: show me where to look next without interrupting what I was doing.

I built VibeDeck so I could glance down and see which session needed me. Each active session can live on a physical key. I can see whether it is working, waiting, or done, press the key to jump to the right terminal, or use the Swarm key to open whichever session has been waiting longest.

VibeDeck supports Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Copilot CLI, Antigravity, and OpenCode. The plugin has 22 actions and runs on macOS and Windows.

The funny part is that while I was building it, OpenAI released Codex Micro, a $230 control pad with live RGB agent status and tactile Codex controls.

I had wondered whether physical controls for coding agents were too niche, so the timing made me smile. Apparently the idea wasn’t as strange as it first sounded.

Codex Micro is dedicated hardware for Codex. VibeDeck takes a different route: it uses a compatible Stream Deck you may already own and supports six coding-agent CLIs.

I settled on $19 once, rather than making this another subscription. There is a 14-day trial with no card.

If you use physical controls while coding, what is the first agent status or action you would put on a key?
