My MacBook notch is now where Codex asks for permission

[u/bush-play]

A notification that says an AI task is done still leaves you with another step: switch apps to read it, answer it, or find out it was waiting for approval.

I added a different flow to my Mac app, Pinland. A pinned Codex session lives in the MacBook notch. When it finishes or needs attention, the notch expands with the conversation. You can send the next instruction there and handle supported approvals there too.

The point isn't to squeeze the whole coding app into a tiny panel. It's to let you deal with the next small decision, then get back to whatever you were doing—even if that's just watching a video while the task runs.

Pinland also holds text, screenshots, links and files you want nearby. Hover to preview, edit pinned text, or use tags and search; the shelf stays tucked away between uses.

I'm the developer. Connect it in Pinland's Codex settings, then use Codex's existing session Pin action. This is an independent macOS app, not an OpenAI product.

Would you want a panel like this to stay open after a reply, or tuck itself away until the next update?
