Signals and sessions

Signals and sessions

Waiting signals depend on the agent

Install hooks in Preferences → Waiting Signal for more complete Claude Code and Codex waiting states. Other agents rely on process and session detection; waiting support varies.

Return to the session

Handle requests in the original terminal or app. Pulse’s menu does not approve or deny them.

Detection on this Mac

Session detection, collection, and hooks run locally. Update checks access public GitHub releases.
