What they did
A developer running Claude Code, Codex and OpenCode at once kept finding one stuck on a permission prompt in a tab he had not looked at for 40 minutes. He built Notch Island, which gives every agent a live card in the Mac notch area.
Result (as claimed)
Blocked agents show up at the top of the screen instead of waiting unseen.
Tools they used
Cost: Claude Code: from $17/mo; OpenAI Codex: free plan, paid from $8/mo.
Set it up
Pick a contained repo or task
Start on a branch or side project where mistakes are cheap.
Install and configure
Set up Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, OpenCode, macOS. Read what it can run on your machine and limit permissions where possible.
Run it on a real task
Give it a well-scoped issue and let it work. Review the diff like any pull request.
Add guardrails
Keep tests and CI in the loop, and never let an agent push to main or touch production secrets unattended.
Copy the full setup prompt
Paste into your agent and it will walk you through the setup, asking before anything that sends, posts or spends.
