SuperIsland watches your long-running work — builds, deploys, Claude Code, Codex — and pulls you back to the exact window, tab, or terminal the moment it needs you.

Speaks the native language of your tools
Kick something off, move on. SuperIsland uses the best truth source each app has — and AI when there isn't one.
Shell hooks report the instant a command starts or exits. Claude Code hooks and Codex journals stream agent state live. No polling, no guessing.
For everything else, Claude reads the window — working, done, or waiting on you — and names each superisland after what's actually running, not the window title.
Not just the right app — the right Chrome tab, the right file in VS Code, the right terminal split in iTerm2, the exact Claude or Codex thread.
A quiet strip of status chips by your notch. A chip recolors and pulses when something flips — one click takes you straight back.
Launch claude or codex in any terminal and the superisland becomes the agent's: your prompt is the label, and "needs input" arrives the second it's asked.
Everything lives on your Mac as JSON. Visual restore memory is AES-GCM encrypted with a Keychain key. Your API key, your calls — nothing else leaves.
Hit ⌥⌘K on any window — a Chrome tab, a terminal, a Cursor workspace, a Codex thread. SuperIsland captures its exact identity, not a screenshot of hope.
SuperIsland watches in the background: shell events, agent hooks, journals, and a change-then-settle AI check for everything else. Cheap, quiet, accurate.
The chip pulses amber when something needs you, green when it's done. One click lands you on the exact tab, file, or terminal split — mid-thought restored.
A tiny simulation of your afternoon. SuperIslands update as tasks finish — click a superisland in the island to refocus its window.
Tip: click a superisland row in the island to refocus its window — exactly like the real thing.
SuperIsland never depends on brittle screenshots when something better exists.
SuperIsland is free while in beta. These are the plans coming at launch.
For trying the habit on.
For people who run agents all day.
For teams that ship together.
No. SuperIsland prefers event sources — shell hooks, agent hooks, browser extension signals — which involve no screen reading at all. The AI classifier only looks at a window you explicitly superislandped, only when its content changes and settles, and screenshots can be disabled entirely in Settings.
Chrome (exact tab, survives reordering), Terminal & iTerm2 (exact window, tab, and split by TTY), VS Code and Cursor (exact file and integrated terminal), Claude Desktop and Codex (exact thread via deep links). Everything else gets precise window raising plus optional visual guidance.
When you superisland a terminal, Claude names it after what's running ("pytest suite", not "akhil — zsh — 80×24"). When an agent like Claude Code starts, your prompt becomes the label. Labels update as the work changes, so the island reads like a to-do list that maintains itself.
The superisland flips to needs-attention the moment the agent asks — via hooks for Claude Code, session journals for Codex, and window classification for Cursor's agent panel. The chip pulses amber; one click puts you in front of the exact question.
Yes. Shell, browser, and agent integrations are fully event-driven and need no AI at all. The API key (or a Pro plan at launch) only adds AI classification and labeling for apps without native signals.
macOS 14 Sonoma and later, Apple Silicon and Intel. SuperIsland runs as a lightweight menu-bar agent — no Dock icon, no Electron, just a native Swift app.
Stop alt-tabbing to check on things. Drop a superisland, close the lid on your attention, and let your Mac call you back.
