Dynamic Island
for your AI agents

iTerm2, Terminal.app, Ghostty, Warp, WezTerm, Kitty, Alacritty, Hyper, Zed, Zellij, cmux, Conductor, Termius, and VS Code / Cursor / Windsurf / Antigravity integrated terminals. Precise jump — including split panes and tmux sessions — works with iTerm2, Ghostty, Terminal.app, Warp, WezTerm, Kitty, Zellij, and IDE terminals. Other terminals get app activation with best-effort tab matching.

Vibe Island supports 30 AI coding agents: Claude Code, Codex, ZCode, Gemini CLI, Antigravity CLI, Cursor, Trae, OpenCode, MiMoCode, Droid, Devin, Qoder, QoderWork, Qwen, QwenWork, Grok Build, Kimi Code, DeepSeek, DeepSeek Harness, Mistral Vibe, Copilot, CodeBuddy, WorkBuddy, Kiro, Hermes, Amp, Pi Agent, Oh My Pi, Gajae Code, and Kimi. All sessions appear in one unified notch panel — run multiple agents simultaneously and monitor them at a glance.

Yes. When Claude Code requests permission to run a tool, the notch panel expands with Allow and Deny buttons. You can approve or reject directly from the notch without leaving your editor. This also works for AskUserQuestion prompts — click an option to answer without context-switching.

No. All communication between Vibe Island and your CLI tools happens locally on your Mac. No data is sent to any server. Session content, tool names, and terminal metadata never leave your machine.

On first launch, Vibe Island auto-configures each supported CLI tool. Everything is set up locally — no API keys, no cloud accounts, no manual editing. Just install, launch, and start coding.

Yes — run brew install --cask vibe-island in your terminal. This installs the latest version to /Applications with zero-config setup on first launch. Updates are handled automatically via brew upgrade.

No. Vibe Island is a native Swift app built for Apple Silicon. It typically uses under 100 MB of RAM and near-zero CPU when idle. The notch panel runs as a non-activating overlay, so it never steals focus from your editor or terminal.

Your license can move with you. When you switch to a new Mac, just enter the same license key on the new machine to register it. The only restriction is concurrent use — a 1-Mac license runs on one Mac at a time, a 2-Mac license on two. If you still have access to the old Mac, click Deactivate in its Vibe Island settings before activating the new one.

Your app keeps working forever with every feature you have — nothing is taken away. Renewing is optional, and only needed if you want another year of new features and updates.

Yes. On Macs with a built-in notch, the panel sits in the notch area. On external displays or older Macs without a notch, it appears as a compact floating bar at the top center of the screen.

Most alternatives only support Claude Code. Vibe Island supports 30 CLI tools — Claude Code, Codex, ZCode, Gemini CLI, Antigravity CLI, Cursor, Trae, OpenCode, MiMoCode, Droid, Devin, Qoder, QoderWork, Qwen, QwenWork, Grok Build, Kimi Code, DeepSeek, DeepSeek Harness, Mistral Vibe, Copilot, CodeBuddy, WorkBuddy, Kiro, Hermes, Amp, Pi Agent, Oh My Pi, Gajae Code, and Kimi. It offers GUI permission approval and question answering (not just monitoring), precise terminal jump across 20+ terminals including split panes and tmux, plan review with Markdown rendering, and 8-bit sound alerts. It is a native Swift app — not Electron — using under 100 MB RAM.
