Claude Island

A macOS menu bar app that brings Dynamic Island-style notifications to Claude Code CLI sessions.

• Notch UI — Animated overlay that expands from the MacBook notch
• Live Session Monitoring — Track multiple Claude Code sessions in real-time
• Permission Approvals — Approve or deny tool executions directly from the notch
• Chat History — View full conversation history with markdown rendering
• Auto-Setup — Hooks install automatically on first launch

• macOS 15.6+
• Claude Code CLI

xcodebuild -scheme ClaudeIsland -configuration Release build

Claude Island installs hooks into ~/.claude/hooks/ that communicate session state via a Unix socket. The app listens for events and displays them in the notch overlay.

When Claude needs permission to run a tool, the notch expands with approve/deny buttons—no need to switch to the terminal.

Claude Island uses Mixpanel to collect anonymous usage data:

• App Launched — App version, build number, macOS version
• Session Started — When a new Claude Code session is detected

No personal data or conversation content is collected.
