Always there. Never in the way.

A local-first macOS island for Claude Code, Codex CLI, and Codex Desktop session status, tool activity, and approvals. Quiet when idle. Breathing when running. Glowing when it needs you.

Supports

Three tools. One island.

Claude Code and Codex CLI events forwarded via Hooks, plus a real-time link to Codex Desktop, all surface in one place.

Forms

One island. Three forms.

The island morphs with your session. Color is the protocol, and the position stays out of your way.

01

Running

An RGB ring marks the active tool, so you know a task is still moving without switching back to the terminal.

02

Approval

When permission is needed, the island goes amber. Supported sources can handle accept once, accept for session, decline, and cancel task; Codex CLI hooks return only allow or deny.

03

Many

When multiple agents run at once, stacked avatars show who is thinking and who is waiting.

Local-first

No uploads. No sync. No account.

It reads local state files on your Mac to render the island. No cloud, no telemetry, full source available.
