Monitor and control Claude Code from your MacBook notch
Vibe Island turns your MacBook notch into a control panel for Claude Code. See what every session is doing, approve permission requests, answer questions, and jump to the right terminal — without leaving your editor.
Approve permissions without switching windows
When Claude Code needs to run a tool, the notch expands with Allow and Deny buttons. Approve or reject file edits, shell commands, and MCP calls directly from the notch panel. No more Alt-Tabbing to the terminal just to type "y".
Answer AskUserQuestion prompts with one click
Claude Code sometimes asks questions before proceeding. Vibe Island displays the question and options in the notch — pick an answer with one click. Works with both multiple-choice and free-text questions.
Review plans with full Markdown rendering
When Claude Code enters plan mode and triggers ExitPlanMode, Vibe Island shows the complete plan with rendered Markdown — headings, code blocks, lists. Approve the plan, or type feedback to send Claude back to revise.
Precise terminal jump across 13+ terminals
Click any session in the notch to jump straight to it. Vibe Island finds the exact tab and split pane — iTerm2, Ghostty, Warp, Terminal.app, VS Code, Cursor, and more. Works with tmux sessions and tmux -CC integration mode.
Zero config setup
Launch Vibe Island once and it auto-configures the Claude Code hooks
in your ~/.claude/settings.json. A lightweight bridge
binary communicates over a local Unix socket. No API keys, no cloud
accounts, no manual editing.
Works with your other AI agents too
Vibe Island also supports Codex CLI, Gemini CLI, Cursor Agent, OpenCode, and Factory Droid. All sessions in one notch panel.
macOS 14+. 5-day free trial, all features included.
