Cue - Know When AI Needs You

Cue lights up your screen so you never miss when your AI coding tool needs you.

When you're deep in work and your AI finishes a task, needs permission, or is waiting for input — Cue responds with a subtle animated glow. No pop-ups. No sounds. Just a gentle, unmissable visual nudge.

HOW IT WORKS
Install Cue, add a few lines to your AI tool's settings, and you're done. Cue listens for signals and responds with a customizable glow effect on your screen. When you return, the glow fades automatically.

SIX AMBIENT STYLES
- Dot: A small, pulsing orb in the corner
- Bar: A full-width iridescent glow along the bottom edge
- Sun: A radiant burst from the top center (notch-aware)
- Aurora: Flowing northern lights across your display
- Edges: A glowing border with corner bloom effects
- Ripple: Expanding concentric rings from the top

FULL COLOR CUSTOMIZATION
Choose from 6 gradient themes (Siri, Ocean, Sunset, Aurora, Rose, Mono), 6 solid color presets, or pick any custom color.

SMART AND RESPECTFUL
- Terminal-aware: Auto-deactivates when you're focused on Terminal, iTerm, VS Code, Cursor, Zed, and 7 more
- Auto-reset: Glow fades after 8 seconds with no new signals
- Lightweight: Minimal CPU and memory usage
- Private: Runs entirely on localhost — no cloud, no telemetry, no account

BUILT FOR DEVELOPERS
Cue is a native macOS app built with SwiftUI. No Electron, no web views, no external dependencies. It respects your system, your privacy, and your focus.

Perfect for developers who use AI coding tools and want to stay in flow without constantly checking back.
