About

Backgrind is an overlay window for AI coding agents, built for vibe coders and pro developers on macOS and Windows. It puts Claude Code, Cursor, or its hosted Grindy model in an always-on-top window that floats over whatever you are doing, so you can fire off a task, go build or play, and only get tapped when the agent actually needs you. Backgrind works as a thin frontend over the CLI you already use, keeping your login, history, hooks, and workflow intact while floating over your editor, browser, docs, or even a borderless full-screen game. The window can be dragged, stretched, recolored, faded through, summoned with a hotkey, or switched into click-through glance mode so your clicks and keystrokes pass straight to what is underneath. It flashes and chimes only when your agent needs approval, asks a question, or finishes. Backgrind also acts like a real mini-IDE, with a file tree, syntax-highlighted previews, rendered Markdown, and clickable file links.

About

Vibe Island is a macOS notch panel for AI coding agents. It tracks sessions from 26 agents - Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, Cursor, OpenCode, Kimi Code, DeepSeek, Copilot, and more - in one place, with real-time status, per-agent brand colors, and one-click precise jump to the exact terminal tab, split pane, or VS Code window where each session runs (20+ terminals supported, tmux included). Built for developers running several agents in parallel, it also shows remaining usage quota for Claude, Codex, Kimi, GLM, and DeepSeek subscriptions with live reset countdowns, and lets you approve permissions, answer agent questions, and review plans without leaving the notch. Works with local sessions and remote servers over SSH. Native Swift, no Electron, under 100 MB RAM. Free trial, then a one-time purchase - no subscription.
