X Island - Dynamic Island for AI Coding Agents

byβ€’
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 β€” 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. β€” Question and Permission prompts surface the moment they happen. Approve or deny in one keystroke. β€” One-click jump to the exact terminal tab or pane, across Terminal.app, Ghostty, iTerm, Warp, WezTerm, and Kaku. β€” Live view of what every agent is doing: prompting, thinking, running tools, blocked, done. β€” Local-first. No server, no account, no telemetry. Everything runs over a Unix socket on your Mac. β€” 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 β€” especially from folks running multiple agents in parallel.

@appitysnacksΒ Thank you Tara, I believe it still has lots of room for improvement. I'm actively working on it as I use it all day in my own work. Appreciate if you can give some feedback / review. Thanks again!

What Agent & Terminal are you using ?

Ban Nguyen

@blueduskΒ I am using Claude, pi-mono, OpenCode, and rarely the Gemini CLI.

Ban Nguyen

Tried xIsland today, and it saves my life. :D Any OpenCode, and pi-mono supporting plan?
