Vibe Island is a native macOS notch panel app that monitors AI coding agent sessions (such as Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and Gemini CLI) in real time. It lets users approve agent permission requests and answer agent questions directly from the notch, jump precisely to the terminal or editor window running an agent, and track usage/quota across agents. It supports 26 AI coding agents and 20+ terminals, runs entirely locally with no cloud communication, and is a lightweight native Swift app using under 100MB RAM.
