Noveriq as an AgentPeek alternative
Both live in the Mac notch and show what your coding agents are doing. AgentPeek is the broader tool - more agents, usage windows, dev servers, routes. Noveriq is the narrower one: it is built around the moment an agent stops and waits for you, and it costs half as much.

Where AgentPeek wins
Scope. AgentPeek does more things: token totals and cost, local dev server discovery, quick routes, widgets, an agent board. Both show quota windows, but only AgentPeek turns that into a spend report. If you want one surface holding all of it, that is the one that holds all of it. Noveriq has none of the rest and is not heading there.
Agent coverage. 26 recognised against Noveriq's six native profiles. Noveriq still detects any other CLI while it runs and gives it a card you can jump from, but a detected agent is not a profiled one.
A real trial. Three days, free, with nothing to undo. Noveriq asks you to buy and then gives you 30 days to change your mind, which is a different bargain and not everyone's preferred one.
Where Noveriq is different
It does less, on purpose. Noveriq exists for the pause: the agent hits something it needs you for, and instead of that sitting in a tab you are not watching, the card comes forward and you answer. Everything in the app serves that. You still get the quota window and the reset countdown, because knowing you are about to be cut off changes what you do next. What you do not get, and do not pay for, is a token and cost dashboard.
No keystroke path, anywhere. The agent's hook blocks on a local Unix socket and Noveriq answers down that same socket, so a decision resolves in place without focusing your terminal. There is no synthetic-keystroke code in the app at all. Where no decision channel exists, the fallback is Jump - focusing the exact window, tab or split pane - and nothing is typed on your behalf.
Destructive commands are flagged on the card. Before you press, not after.
Half the price. $9.99 against $19.99.
Which one to pick
Pick AgentPeek if you want the wide surface: token totals and cost, dev servers and routes in one place, across 26 agents, and you are on Apple silicon.
Pick Noveriq if the thing costing you hours is checking terminals, you work mostly in the six agents it profiles, and you would rather pay $9.99 for the narrow tool than $19.99 for the wide one.
Both are independent products from independent developers. Every row here comes from what each site publishes, not from inspecting anyone's code, and every one of them is checkable in a minute.
The narrow tool, at the narrow price
Download Noveriq and point it at the agents you already run. It asks for a key when you are ready.
