Vibe Island

Dynamic Island for your AI agents

Visit Vibe Island

Vibe Island is a native macOS app (Swift, Apple Silicon) that lives in the Mac notch. It auto-discovers and displays all running AI coding CLI agents (30 supported tools) in a single panel. Users can monitor agent status, approve permission requests, answer prompts, and click to jump back to the exact terminal pane — all without leaving their editor. It supports 20+ terminals, SSH remote sessions, sound alerts, usage quota tracking, and plan review with Markdown. No cloud, no accounts, no telemetry.
