X Island

xIsland is a free macOS app, built by independent developer danielhymn "by developers, for developers," that turns your Mac's Dynamic Island/notch into a live control center for AI coding agents — Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, and OpenCode — running simultaneously. It shows real-time status for multiple agent sessions in the notch or as a floating pill, lets you approve or deny file edits and commands before they execute, answer agent questions directly from the popup, and jump straight to a specific terminal session with one click — with full keyboard support including vim-style navigation, and compatibility across 7+ terminal apps. It's completely free, distributed via GitHub releases and Homebrew, currently at v0.2.0 with active, ongoing development — the creator's stated philosophy is doing "fewer things perfectly" rather than broad, shallow feature coverage. Good fit for a developer running multiple AI coding agents in parallel who wants a persistent, glanceable status view and quick approval flow, without switching between separate terminal windows.
