Monitor OpenAI Codex CLI sessions from your MacBook notch
Vibe Island tracks your Codex CLI sessions in real time. See session status, tool execution, and thread titles in one glance — right in your MacBook notch area.
Real-time session monitoring
Vibe Island uses a dual-channel approach for Codex: hooks for explicit session start/stop signals, and rollout JSONL for rich tool and thinking state. Thread titles come from the official session index. You see the full picture without opening the Codex terminal.
Task completion notifications
When a Codex session finishes, Vibe Island sends a macOS notification. Click it to jump straight to the terminal where Codex ran. No more checking back every few minutes to see if the task is done.
Works with Codex Desktop and CLI
Whether you run codex in your terminal or use the Codex
Desktop app, Vibe Island detects and monitors both. Sessions from all
sources appear in the same notch panel alongside your Claude Code
and Gemini CLI sessions.
Zero config setup
Vibe Island auto-configures ~/.codex/config.toml and
~/.codex/hooks.json on first launch. No manual editing,
no API keys. Just install Vibe Island and start using Codex.
Part of a multi-agent workflow
Run Codex and Claude Code side by side? Vibe Island shows all sessions in one panel. Also supports Gemini CLI, Cursor Agent, OpenCode, and Factory Droid.
macOS 14+. 5-day free trial, all features included.
