Mac App That Taps You When a Coding Agent Needs an Answer

For developers running Claude Code, Codex or Copilot: Coral lights your Mac notch or iPhone only when an agent is waiting, so you can answer with a key press.

In plain English

Coral is a Mac app for people who run coding helpers such as Claude Code, Codex or Copilot. When a helper stops and waits for an answer, Coral lights the notch on the Mac or pings the phone so you can reply with a key press instead of watching the terminal. Founder Lior built it. Early sales are still small.

Realistic income

TrustMRR (checked Nov 9, 2026) shows about $8 MRR, $187 in Polar-verified revenue over the last 30 days and $187 over its tracked history, with 1 active subscriptions. This is one operator’s result, often after months or years of work, and doesn’t predict yours. Check the live listing — numbers change.

Risks

  • Verified sales are still tiny: about $187 in the last 30 days and one subscription when checked.
  • Coding tools may add their own wait alerts.
  • The product only helps people who already run several agents at once.
  • Startup cost and time to first dollar are not disclosed.

*Income figures are illustrative ranges based on public pricing and typical outcomes reported by practitioners, not guarantees. Most new online businesses earn little or nothing at first. Not financial, legal or tax advice.
