Your agents.
In the notch.

With one click per agent, Eddie adds hooks to that agent's config (~/.claude/settings.json, ~/.codex/hooks.json, ~/.cursor/hooks.json or ~/.gemini/settings.json on a Mac, the same files under %USERPROFILE% on Windows) and saves a backup first. The agent then runs a tiny helper on each event, like a permission request or a finished task, and Eddie reads it instantly. Claude Code's cost comes from its own local logs. Hooks load when a session starts, so restart sessions that were already open. You can disconnect anytime in Settings. Prefer to do it by hand? Settings has a setup guide with a ready-made prompt you can paste into the agent itself, and it adds Eddie's hooks for you. The Claude desktop app needs no hooks: Eddie reads the transcripts its Code tab saves.

Eddie works with each agent through that agent's own hooks, so how much it can show depends on what the agent reports:

This table is for Eddie on a Mac. On Windows, Eddie connects Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and Gemini CLI through their hooks; see How do hooks work on Windows? below.
* Codex asks you to trust Eddie's hook once: run /hooks in Codex after connecting.
† The Claude desktop app doesn't run hooks yet (anthropics/claude-code#96496), so Eddie follows its Code tab through the session transcripts it saves on your Mac, with nothing to connect. It shows up as Claude · Desktop: working, done, and questions it asks you. Permission prompts never reach the transcript, so it can't tell Eddie when it's waiting for approval.

Eddie for Windows works with Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and Gemini CLI. In Settings, connect any of them, and Eddie adds its hooks to %USERPROFILE%\.claude\settings.json, %USERPROFILE%\.codex\hooks.json, %USERPROFILE%\.cursor\hooks.json or %USERPROFILE%\.gemini\settings.json on that PC. Hooks load when a session starts, so restart sessions that were already open. Disconnecting an agent in Settings removes Eddie's hooks.

Installing from the Microsoft Store is free. Eddie is activated with a license key: buy one here, and the key arrives by email from Dodo Payments. Type it into Eddie and you're set. It's the same key and the same one-time price as on the Mac.

On your PC, in %LOCALAPPDATA%\Eddie: settings, notes, clipboard history and agent events. Your license key is kept in Windows Credential Manager. There's no Eddie account and no analytics. The details are on the privacy page.

It's the API-equivalent cost at Anthropic's list prices. If you're on a Pro or Max plan you aren't billed per token, but it's a useful way to see which sessions are heavy.

Yes. On an iMac, a Mac mini, a Mac Studio or an external display, Eddie draws a slim notch of its own in the middle of the menu bar. You can also choose which display it lives on. On Windows, it sits at the top center, a top corner, a side or the bottom of your desktop, your choice in Settings → Island.

Because five is how many you actually reach back for. A long history turns into a search box. Five fits in one glance, and each one gets a real preview.

No. Password managers mark what they copy as concealed, and Eddie skips anything marked that way. On a Mac it also ignores copies made in Keychain Access and Apple Passwords; on Windows it skips copies from password managers like 1Password, Bitwarden and KeePass. Your clipboard history never leaves your computer.

No. On a Mac, when Eddie is closed it's exactly the shape of your notch, and clicks pass straight through to the menu bar around it. It only opens when your pointer rests on the notch. On Windows, a borderless fullscreen game or video hides it, while maximized windows don't.

On a Mac, macOS 14 Sonoma and later. On macOS 26 Tahoe you also get the Liquid Glass style. On Windows, Windows 10 or Windows 11 on a 64-bit desktop or laptop. It isn't for Xbox or phones, and it's an app, not a website.

Your license covers the Macs and Windows PCs you personally use, with the same key. If you're buying for a team, get in touch.
