I build local-first tools for people working with coding agents.
Agent Island | Open source | Writing | X
I am interested in the part of agentic coding that starts after the prompt: knowing what is still running, what needs attention, what it cost, and how the workflow fits into a normal day.
An open-source status companion for Claude Code and Codex on macOS and Windows. It shows live session state, calls you back with a your-turn alert, and keeps usage and cost monitoring local.
- See Claude Code and Codex sessions as running, waiting, or needing attention.
- Get a visual and sound alert when it is your turn.
- Review local usage, cost, model mix, and weekly or monthly report cards.
- Use it without an Agent Island account or product telemetry.
