Detached Buddy mode

Claude Code needs a follow-up

Detached mode keeps the Buddy next to the work you are already doing, so the question arrives like a side bubble instead of a big notch takeover.

Core Features

Built around the interruptions that break deep work.

Attention-first UI

Stay compact until a session needs approval, input, review, or intervention.

Native action loop

Approve tools, deny requests, and answer follow-up prompts without hunting through tabs.

Precise focus return

Jump back to the exact terminal, tmux pane, or IDE window that spawned the run.

Codex-aware sync

Codex hooks, app-server threads, and rollout fallback stay coherent inside one monitor layer.

Custom signals

Map event-specific sounds and give each client a visual identity that feels personal.

Open-source trust

Independent, local, and native. The UI stays transparent because the project is too.

Supported Clients

From classic terminal agents to the new 0.2.0 integrations.

Ping Island now covers the core local and remote workflows across Claude-style hooks, app-server sessions, plugin hooks, and official settings-based integrations.

Claude Code / Codex / Gemini CLI

First-class session monitoring, approvals, follow-up prompts, and focus return for the primary terminal-based workflows.

Hermes Agent 0.2.0

Integrated through the official plugin-hooks path so Hermes CLI events surface cleanly inside the Island UI without relying on gateway-only hooks.

Qwen Code 0.2.0

Managed through ~/.qwen/settings.json with support for notifications, follow-up prompts, stop summaries, and session-state tracking.

OpenClaw / OpenCode

OpenClaw combines managed internal hooks with transcript refill, while OpenCode uses a plugin bridge that keeps app and terminal activity in sync.

Cursor / Qoder / Trae

IDE-hosted sessions stay visible through the same monitor layer, with focus-return paths back to the exact project window or terminal surface across Cursor, Qoder, and Trae.

CodeBuddy / Copilot

Compatible hook-driven sessions keep their own identity, mascot, and workflow hints so mixed-client environments still feel organized.

Pet GIF Showcase

One mascot system, all your clients.

Each client carries its own animated personality across the notch, session list, and hover preview, synced to the latest mascot exports from main.
