Approve without breaking flow
The moment an agent asks for permission, the island unfolds itself: the command with syntax highlighting, Allow/Deny buttons, ⌥⌘Y from any app. Requests queue up and wait for you up to an hour — no turn ever stalls out.
Claude sessions,
living in your notch.
Stay in flow while your AI agents keep working. Monitor, approve and answer — right from the notch.
Free · macOS 14+ · 100% local, no telemetry
Features
Everything the island can do
Built for Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Gemini, OpenCode and Amp — depth a generic monitor cannot reach: blocking hooks, not log tailing.
Read plans in seconds
Plans arrive as clean, rendered documents — headings, lists, code, edits as mini-diffs. One click sends the agent off, including auto-accept mode for the rest of the session.
Answer with one click
When your agent has a question, the options pop up right at the notch — click one (or ⌘1–⌘4) and the answer lands in the terminal. You never even switched windows.
Status you feel at a glance
Every session gets a living pixel pet: it walks while the agent works and glows with the session state. Context running low turns red, a long turn shows a timer — one look tells you everything.
Order across ten sessions
⌘-click folds cards into groups with a combined status, idle ones hide in one click, and a global ⌥⌘J teleports you to whichever session needs you most.
No more limit surprises
Claude’s 5-hour and 7-day windows as progress bars with reset countdowns — straight from the official Anthropic API. You get warned early, not when everything stops.
Never sleep through a turn
A push when a turn finishes, chiptune sounds when an agent needs you, a re-reminder every 5 minutes — and a green mark on everything that finished while you looked away. Quiet hours included.
The right terminal in a second
Click a card and you are in that exact window — iTerm2 and Terminal.app open on the precise tab (by tty). Interrupt a runaway turn right from the context menu.

FAQ
Questions, answered
Does it work without the notch?
Yes. On Macs without a notch (or external displays) the island floats as a slim bar at the top center of the screen.
Which terminals are supported?
Statuses, approvals and answers work with any terminal — they go through Claude Code hooks, not the terminal. Jump-to-tab is precise (by tty) in iTerm2 and Terminal.app.
Do you read my prompts or code?
VibeBit reads local hook events and transcripts on your machine to render statuses. Nothing is uploaded; no accounts, no telemetry. The only network call is the official Anthropic API for your own limits.
Is it really free? What’s the catch?
No catch. Every feature and every future update is free — no license, no account, no trial timer. If it saves you time, a voluntary donation (from $4) keeps it maintained, but you never have to pay.
How do updates work?
Updates are free and always will be. VibeBit can update itself from the island, and every new release is available to everyone at no cost.
How heavy is it?
A native Swift app: no Electron, no background indexing. It tails a small local event file; even pet animations are energy-audited to skip frames when idle.
Does it need macOS permissions?
Accessibility is optional — only for the global ⌥⌘Y/⌥⌘N hotkeys. Everything else (island, click approvals, questions, stats) works without special permissions.
Will it break my existing Claude Code hooks?
No. VibeBit adds its hooks to ~/.claude/settings.json with a backup of the previous file, and never touches hooks it does not own.
Which agents are supported?
Claude Code, deeply: blocking permission hooks, plan review with diffs, answering questions — plus its forks (Kimi, GLM, DeepSeek, Grok, Qwen…) with the vendor shown on the agent chip. Codex CLI and Cursor CLI: session cards and permission approvals from the island via their hooks. Gemini CLI: cards with precise status via hooks. OpenCode and Amp: session monitoring from local files.
How can I support the project?
On the donate page you can chip in a voluntary one-time donation from $4 via crypto (USDT and more), SBP or a Russian card. It’s a thank-you, not a purchase — the app stays free either way.
Is my donation refundable?
A donation is a voluntary gift and grants no license or extra features, so it is non-refundable. If something in the app doesn’t work, write to support@vibebit.app — we’re happy to help.
