Vibe Island is a specialized productivity tool designed for developers who use terminal-based AI coding agents. It transforms your MacBook’s notch area into an interactive control center, allowing you to monitor, approve, and interact with various AI agents without ever leaving your IDE or breaking your focus. Whether you are using Claude Code, Cursor, or Gemini CLI, Vibe Island ensures you stay in the “flow” by bringing terminal activities to the forefront of your screen in a beautiful, non-intrusive overlay.

Key Features

• Unified Agent Monitoring: Support for 10+ leading AI coding agents including Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, Cursor, OpenCode, Copilot, and more. All your active sessions appear in one unified, sleek panel.
• Two-Way Interaction: Go beyond simple monitoring. Approve or deny permission requests, answer “AskUser” questions, and review suggested plans with full Markdown rendering directly from the notch.
• Precise Terminal Jump: Instantly jump back to the exact terminal tab, split pane, or tmux session where an agent is running with a single click. Compatible with iTerm2, Ghostty, Warp, and native Terminal.app.
• Zero-Config Setup: On first launch, Vibe Island automatically configures hooks for your CLI tools. No manual editing of config files or API keys required.
• Privacy-First & Local: Your data never leaves your machine. All communication between Vibe Island and your CLI tools happens locally on your Mac.
• Native & Lightweight: Built with Pure Swift for Apple Silicon. It is incredibly fast, using under 50MB of RAM and near-zero CPU when idle.
• Smart Feedback: Enjoy 8-bit synthesized sound alerts for event notifications and visual cues that keep you informed without being distracting.
