Background & analysis
On November 1, 2026 at 02:02, a developer posted an article titled "Building a multi-agent menu bar router with Electron" to the AI section of DEV Community; the piece originally appeared on tamiz.pro. The author observes that most AI coding agents are silos: Claude Code lives in its own terminal, Codex lives in another, and local Ollama models form a separate world. Switching between them without losing context means copy-pasting prompts back and forth, which breaks the thread of a conversation. To fix this, the author built a small menu bar app with Electron that routes a single prompt to any of three destinations: Claude Code, Codex, or a local Ollama model.

The author built an Electron menu bar app that routes a single prompt to Claude Code, Codex or local Ollama models through one interface, so users can switch agents without losing context. A shared provider interface means adding a new agent requires only one new provider file; the walkthrough is designed to be reproducible in about an hour.
