[FEATURE]: Floating desktop status avatar showing OpenCode's live session state #43550

Closed as not planned

Description

@fushoujiang
  • I have verified this feature I'm about to request hasn't been suggested before.

Describe the enhancement you want to request

When OpenCode runs a long task I usually switch to other apps (browser, IDE), and right now there's no way to tell whether the agent is still working, thinking, or idle without switching back to the window.

Suggestion: a small always-on-top floating avatar (round avatar + status ring) that reflects the live session status:

  • Green ring = running a tool
  • Orange ring = thinking / generating
  • Gray ring = idle

I built this as an external macOS app that watches the local SQLite DB (read-only) as a proof of concept: https://github.com/fushoujiang/opencode-widget — happy to help bring it into the desktop app or share anything learned from it.
