Let's Talk About FOMAT: Fear of Missing Agent Time — Michael Richman, Cmd+Ctrl

Michael Richman introduces FOMAT (Fear of Missing Agent Time), the anxiety of wasting agent productivity when you're away from your dev machine. He built Cmd+Ctrl, a system that sends push notifications when an agent stalls or finishes, lets you respond from phone or watch, and allows starting new sessions remotely. The demo shows Claude Code mirrored on an iPhone, with real-time interaction and a standup dashboard summarizing all sessions. The open-source daemon layer works with Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Gemini CLI, and others, aggregating sessions across machines into a single pane of glass. Richman argues this alleviates the cognitive load of managing multiple agents and supports the new flow of agent choreography.
