Vibe Island supports 10 AI coding agents: Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, Cursor, OpenCode, Droid, Qoder, Copilot, CodeBuddy, and Kiro. 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. Vibe Island communicates with your CLI tools entirely over a local Unix socket. No data is sent to any server. Session content, tool names, and terminal metadata all stay on your Mac.
On first launch, Vibe Island writes the necessary hook entries into each tool's config file — Claude Code's settings.json, Codex's config.toml and hooks.json, Gemini's settings.json, and Cursor's hooks.json. A lightweight bridge binary handles communication over a local Unix socket. No API keys or cloud accounts needed.
No. Vibe Island is a native Swift app built for Apple Silicon. It typically uses under 50 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.
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 10 CLI tools — Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, Cursor, OpenCode, Droid, Qoder, Copilot, CodeBuddy, and Kiro. It offers GUI permission approval and question answering (not just monitoring), precise terminal jump across 13+ 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 50 MB RAM.
