Run multiple AI coding agents in parallel on your Mac
Stop tabbing between terminals to check on Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor. Vibe Island shows every agent session in one notch panel — color-tagged, status-live, and one click away from the terminal each one is running in.
One notch, every agent
Whether you're running Claude Code in one tab, Codex in another, and Gemini CLI on a remote server, every session shows up in the same notch view. No window-switching, no tab-hunting — the status of all your agents in one glance.
Brand color tags identify agents at a glance
Each agent has its own brand color: Claude orange, Codex green, Gemini blue, Cursor purple, and so on. When you see five session cards in the notch, you don't have to read the title to know which agent is which — the color tells you instantly.
Status, not just presence
Vibe Island doesn't just list which agents are running — it tells you what each one is doing right now. Idle, thinking, calling a tool, waiting for permission, done. The notch turns into a live dashboard of your AI workforce.
One-click switching
Click any session card and Vibe Island jumps you to the exact terminal tab — iTerm2, Ghostty, Warp, VS Code, anywhere — where that agent is running. No memorizing which agent is in which window. Read more in Precise Jump.
Remote agents in the same panel
Run agents on remote servers via SSH and they appear in the same notch panel as your local sessions. Mix a Claude Code session on your laptop with a Codex session on a beefy remote machine — they look and feel like one workspace. See SSH Remote.
Common questions
How many AI coding agents can I run at the same time?
Vibe Island supports 16 AI coding agents simultaneously — Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, Cursor, OpenCode, Droid, Qoder, Qwen, Kimi Code, DeepSeek, Copilot, CodeBuddy, Kiro, Hermes, Amp, and Pi Agent. There is no artificial cap — you can run as many sessions as your terminal can handle.
How do I tell agents apart when multiple are running?
Each agent has its own brand color in the notch — Claude orange, Codex green, Cursor purple, and so on — so you can identify which agent needs attention at a glance, even with five sessions open at once.
Can I run the same agent in multiple terminal tabs?
Yes. Each session is tracked independently by its terminal tab. You can have three Claude Code sessions in different tabs working on different repos, and Vibe Island will show all three as separate cards with their own status.
Does running multiple agents slow down my Mac?
Vibe Island itself uses under 50 MB of RAM and is written in native Swift — it does not contribute meaningful overhead. The agents themselves use whatever resources they normally would; Vibe Island just observes them.
What happens when one agent needs my attention while others are running?
The notch highlights the agent waiting for input or permission. You can approve, answer, or jump to that specific session in one click — without losing context on the other agents that are still running.
