Kongi
A Dynamic Island for Macs without a notch.
Made for Macs without a notch, like Mac mini, Mac Studio and iMac, and for external displays. It runs on MacBooks too.
Watch and steer Claude Code from the top of your screen, keep your Claude limits in the menu bar, and see music, AirPods and alerts pop in like on iPhone.

Why Kongi
Notched MacBooks have a natural home for a Dynamic Island. Macs without a notch don't — Mac mini, Mac Studio and iMac have a flat menu bar, and so do external displays. Kongi was made for those screens first: the island floats at the top center of the display, stays out of the way, and opens when you hover or when something needs you.
What's next: Kongi already runs on MacBooks, and an update tuned for the notch is planned. The phone app starts on Android, and an iPhone app is on the way.
What it does
The island: Claude Code at the top of your screen
| |
|---|
| Live view | See exactly what Claude reads, runs and edits. Code being written types itself out, files being read scroll in, commands show their output, and every step grows along a little stem. |
| Approvals and questions | Allow, Deny or Always for permission requests, and answer Claude's multiple-choice questions (single, multi-select or your own words) without leaving what you're doing. |
| Conversation | Read the conversation with full Markdown — tables, lists and code blocks — and reply to the same session from the island. |
| Code changes | Changed files with +N / −N and a diff view. |
| Jump to the terminal | Opens the exact Terminal or iTerm tab; Warp, Ghostty, VS Code and others come to the front. |
| Continue after a reset | Hit a limit? One click and Kongi continues the conversation the moment your limit resets. You can also schedule any prompt. |
A Dynamic Island that does more
- Music from Apple Music and Spotify, with artwork and controls
- AirPods and headphones connecting with battery levels, volume, charging and low battery
- Notices when a task finishes, a command ends or a meeting is about to start
- Focus timer and quick timers, system stats, GitHub, local servers and clipboard tools
- Calls and notifications from your iPhone (same iCloud account) in the island — optional, needs Accessibility permission
- Your Mac's health: running hot, low memory or almost-full storage (at most once an hour each)
- Music and Claude Code side by side, like on iPhone
Builds, tests and your own apps
kongi run -- npm run build (or cargo test, pytest, …) shows progress and a pass/fail ring in the menu bar window, and tells you in the island when it ends.kongi notify "Deploy done" "api · 42s" sends anything to the island from your own apps and scripts. Nothing to install.- Extensions: Kongi's own extensions install with one click, and you can install extensions people share on GitHub from Settings → Extensions. Extensions can post notices, live progress and menu bar widgets, read Kongi's status, and react to events (a session starts, asks for approval, finishes; a build ends). Making one is a folder with a
kongi-extension.json — see extensions/README.md.
- Scheduled prompts can pick a model and effort level.
Meet Kongi
Kongi is a bean sprout who lives in the island and reacts to what Claude is doing: reading, editing, running commands, searching, thinking, waiting for you, celebrating, or looking a little sad when a command fails. Idle Kongi looks around and yawns, and grows leaves (and a flower) as you use Claude through the day. Tap Kongi for a heart.
Claude usage in the menu bar
Your 5-hour session and weekly limits next to the clock (42% · 63%) — or hide the menu bar item entirely and use the island alone. Reset countdowns, a pace marker, a projection of when you'll hit the limit, alerts at the percentages you choose, reset reminders and Claude outage alerts. In 11 languages.
Kongi for Android (iPhone coming later)
Approve requests from a notification, follow every session live, read the conversation and send a message — from your phone, over the same Wi-Fi as your Mac. Pair once with a QR code. Everything between the phone and the Mac is end-to-end encrypted with a key that never leaves your devices; there's no server.
Install
Requires macOS 13 or later and Claude Code signed in with a Claude Pro, Max or Team plan.
