X Island - Dynamic Island for AI Coding Agents

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

What Agent & Terminal are you using ?

Ban Nguyen

@blueduskĀ 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?

Dan

Good day guys, been busy shipping improvements and fixing issues daily. Catching up to agents and terminals update is insane. But I'll keep doing it as I am the 1st user of the app! Please send the feedbacks, thank you !

@bluedusk I've been using for a week or two now and I love it! I just purchased a license. Thank you for sharing it with us. ā¤ļø
