Claude Island

Claude Island is a macOS menu-bar utility that elevates your command-line AI sessions by turning them into dynamic, always-visible notifications that live in your laptop’s notch area or menu bar. Rather than constantly switching back to a terminal window to check the status of Claude Code sessions, Claude Island monitors session state hooks and displays ongoing activity, permission requests, and chat history right from a lightweight overlay. When a Claude session triggers a prompt for tool execution or needs user approval, the Dynamic Island-style widget expands with actionable buttons, letting you approve or deny actions instantly without breaking your workflow. It also lets you track multiple active sessions in real time and view conversation history in markdown format directly in the UI, streamlining multitasking for developers who use the Claude Code CLI.
