About

Agent Island is a free, MIT-licensed desktop status companion for Claude Code, Codex, Grok, Antigravity, and Cursor. It shows running, stalled, finished, and your-turn states from the macOS notch or menu bar and the Windows tray. Session monitoring and usage or cost estimates stay local; there is no Agent Island account or product telemetry. Auto-resume has been removed.

Who it is for

Agent Island is for developers who use AI coding agents and want a local, glanceable view of every session.

• Developers using Claude Code, Codex, Grok, Antigravity, or Cursor
• macOS users who want status in the notch or menu bar
• Windows users who want status in the system tray
• Solo builders and teams that prefer local session data

Use Cases

• See when long agent runs are active, stalled, finished, or waiting
• Return to the exact session when input is needed
• Compare local usage and cost estimates across supported providers
• Monitor multiple sessions without keeping every terminal window frontmost
• Use the same status workflow on macOS and Windows

Pricing

Verdict

Agent Island is a focused open-source companion for developers who run long AI coding sessions. It shows whether a supported provider is running, stalled, finished, or waiting for input, then surfaces that state from the Mac notch or menu bar or the Windows tray. It is free under MIT, requires no Agent Island account, and has no product telemetry.

FAQ

Alternatives

• Agent Callout

  For developers: Agent Callout adds voice alerts to AI coding agents so you monitor progress without leaving your terminal.

• Offrun

  For developers: Offrun centralizes multiple AI coding agents (Claude, Codex, Grok) in one workspace with shared project memory, isolated worktrees, and peer review before shipping.

• nala

  For developers: nala runs Claude, Codex, Cursor and other coding agents side-by-side with shared tasks so you skip terminal tab chaos.

• AI Agent Task Manager

  For developers: AI Agent Task Manager queues tasks for Claude, Codex, or Cursor agents so they work autonomously and notify you only when intervention is needed.

• Agentmemory

  For developers: Agentmemory gives Claude Code and coding agents searchable persistent memory, reducing token usage by 92% while keeping 100% of observations accessible.

• GraphCode

  For developers: GraphCode runs multiple AI coding agents as nodes on macOS so you orchestrate parallel work and ship faster.
