Walk away. A macOS menu bar app that runs AI agents in the background — and finds you when they need approval. Documentation · Download · Feedback --- Why Motive? AI coding agents are powerful, but they all assume you're watching. Switch away from the terminal or editor, and you'll come back to find the agent stuck on a permission approval that's been sitting there for minutes. Motive puts the agent in your menu bar. No window to babysit. When it needs a yes/no or has a question, a native popup drops down — no matter what app you're in. You respond, it continues, you go back to what you were doing. Under the hood it uses OpenCode as the agent engine. Motive doesn't try to be a better agent — it just makes sure the agent can reach you.
