xIsland turns the notch into mission control for Claude Code, Codex, and Gemini CLI, etc. Never miss a permission prompt, see every session at a glance, answer questions, approve requests, and jump back to the right terminal panel in one click. Local-first, no cloud, no account.
If you run Claude Code, Codex, or Gemini CLI, you know the pattern: you spin up ten agent sessions across a handful of terminal windows, context-switch into something else, and forget. One of them hits a permission prompt. Twenty minutes later you come back and it's still sitting there — blocked, waiting on a keystroke you never saw.
XIsland is the Dynamic Island for your AI Coding Agents, lives in your Mac's notch and watches every agent session running on your machine.
— Question and Permission prompts surface the moment they happen. Approve or deny in one keystroke.
— One-click jump to the exact terminal tab or pane, across Terminal.app, Ghostty, iTerm, Warp, WezTerm, and Kaku.
— Live view of what every agent is doing: prompting, thinking, running tools, blocked, done.
— Local-first. No server, no account, no telemetry. Everything runs over a Unix socket on your Mac.
— One-click hook install for Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, and OpenCode.
Built because I got tired of Cmd+Tab roulette at 2am waiting on a permission prompt I didn't know existed. Would love your feedback — especially from folks running multiple agents in parallel.
